Walz was in the National Guard for 24 years and put in his resignation well before he learned his unit would be deployed to Iraq.
Vance - who is a Marine who served one tour as a journalist and never saw combat - attacked Walz for ‘stolen valor’ as he never saw combat.
It’s massively hypocritical, has been tried before successfully against John Kerry, (Swiftboating was the term back then) and is coming from the VP of a candidate who avoided Vietnam due to crippling bone spurs, which should make it hard to do shit like play golf.
Both Vance and Walz are veterans. Vance has no grounds to attack Walz’s service at all.
