    "I carried a weapon of war in a war."

    straightforward from here.

    And they will be happy the 24 year veteran who was honorably discharged, and has an established track record of service and advocating for veteran is on the ticket.

    The guy was deployed in a supporting role and served honorably during the Afghanistan conflict.

    He didn't vote 'No' on bills supporting veterans as Vance did. Nor did he fake bone spurs to avoid serving as Trump did.

    More wall of text. From who knows who.

    You sounded really knowledgeable about Pennsylvanian politics as compared to Minnesotan. Would love to hear at least a synopsis of your great knowledge on the matter.

    Also which exact statement by Walz qualifies as under Stolen Valor legislation, would be great too.

    wall of text was not about PA.

    read it, or don't.

    but you may weep in Nov.

    Doesn't hold in a court of law. Maybe in public opinion of NC state it does though. That's why swiftboating exists.

    He is correct. The Afghanistan war was a war and he carried a weapon while serving during his deployment in that war.

    To note, he didn't serve in Afganistan, but he did partake in Operation Enduring Freedom in Italy.

    He didn't use them, but he definitely carried weapons of war in a support role.

    Yes. He was deployed to a support role in Italy during the war. Neither Walz nor I claimed he was in Afghanistan as far as I know.

    I beleive Americans stationed stateside in WWII are still veterans of that war. They still carried a weapon while serving their nation in the war.

    there are still a small amount of decent republicans out there who haven’t thrown away their morals or principles…who still have some shame

    the real patriots of this country do not support insurrectionist traitors who try to steal and overturn an election…terrorists who storm the Capitol…it’s just that simple

    they’re chanting “lock him up” again

    Walz said “better yet, beat the hell out of him at the ballot box”

    crowd erupts

    today’s crowd of over 20k people was the largest Dem rally in Arizona history…next largest was Obama in 08 with 12k people

    just imagine when they start bringing Obama out to show up at her rallies
