Hillary Clinton, who falsely claimed that she was shot by snipers in Bosnia, tried to rescue Minnesota Governor. Tim Walz is the Democrat’s vice presidential candidate.
Walz faces scrutiny for exaggerating the length of his military service, and retiring from the military when he knew that his unit – in which he served as the senior enlisted commander – would be deployed to Iraq.
“Tim Walz has served with honor for over two decades.”
Tim Walz served honorably for two decades.
Then he joined Congress and worked to pass a new GI bill that helped fund the college educations of millions of veterans—among them, JD Vance.

Walz has been making false claims for the past two decades that he is a retired command Sergeant Major when in fact he retired below his rank.
Walz never claimed to have served in the war, nor did she address his false claims that he had carried weapons.
The post didn’t mention Walz’s early retirement from his military contract, which was just a few months before the unit in which he served as a commander deployed to Iraq.
Clinton has turned off comments to this post as she did with recent posts by X.
Since Vice President Kamala Harris selected Walz as his running mate, Walz has been bombarded with questions about the military service he has emphasized throughout his career in politics, starting when he was first elected to Congress in 2006.
He falsely claimed he had the highest rank of senior enlisted in the U.S. Congress.
He has repeatedly implied that he was deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan but never corrected those who incorrectly claimed he was deployed there.
The Harris-Walz campaign has only addressed the claim that Walz carried weapons in war, which he made in a video. The Harris campaign posted the video on its X page before Walz’s false statements about his military records became a scandal.
