Just when you thought the Republicans had hit rock bottom. Apparently writer Vance's only combat experience was a war of words as he followed Marine units around in Iraq.
“You know what really bothers me about Tim Walz as a Marine who served his country in uniform? When the United States Marine Corps — when the United States of America — asked me to go to Iraq to serve my country, I did it. I did what they asked me to do it, and I did it honorably, and I’m very proud of that service,” Vance said.
“When Tim Walz was asked by his country to go to Iraq, you know what he did?” he said. “He dropped out of the Army and allowed his unit to go without him.”
Walz spent two dozen years in the Army National Guard, where he was deployed overseas for a few months on active duty and whose responsibilities also included tornado response and flood fights, according to Minnesota Public Radio. Walz didn’t see combat.
Walz left the Army National Guard for a congressional bid, according to the Star Tribune.
Vance also hit Walz over a past video shared by the Harris campaign in which Walz said he carried weapons during war. The Ohio GOP senator questioned whether Walz had ever been in war or carried a weapon in war.
Vance worked as a combat correspondent and spent some time in Iraq, according to the Army Times."
