Vice President Kamala Harris had nothing but “praise” for her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, when questioned Thursday about his service in the National Guard.
Harris, 59, was asked by a reporter to respond to criticism that Walz “deserted his own troops, deserted his own colleagues” when he opted to retire from the Minnesota National Guard in May 2005, as his battalion was preparing to deploy to the Iraq war zone.
“Listen, I praise anyone who has presented themselves to serve our country,” Harris said. “And I think that we all should.”

Yet another unanswered question. She won't be able to get away with this much longer.
If she doesn't agree to all three debates, she will be ridiculed by the media as a coward.

She might as well have said "Nice weather we are having here in Detroit". This is what we are going to get all the way to the Night of the Grand Election Theft !

Maleficent loves abandonment. She abandoned Afghanistan. She abandoned the Border. Her running mate, Politburo Walz, abandoned his troops. The Abandonment Duo is a bigly abandonment team. They will abandon America given a chance.

The issue is that he exaggerated his role and that he did so to affect a position of knowledge and authority and sacrifice by which to deprive other citizens of their rights, specifically to self-defence, and in a context where he is amping up the danger we are all in.

As nearly as I can tell Walz has spent his entire life suckling at the teat of various taxpayer funded entities. Does he have ANY experience in the private sector?

I lost a good friend in the 90's, when he resigned his commission rather than serving in Desert Storm. And I say, good riddance to them...

A tone deaf Kamala Harris Facebook ad touts Walz as being "battle tested". Oops! That one has been removed.

To get the truth about Waltz and the Minnesota National Guard, you have to get the opinions of the high ranking non-commissioned officers (NCOs) who served with Waltz before and during the Iraq War. Once that war commenced on the ground, everyone in the military knew that it was just a matter of time that in accordance with the total force concept that National Guard units would be deployed to Iraq to supplement regular army units there. Asking Harris about all that is just a waste of time, as if she answers at all she will give you a highly partisan political response.

I would praise Walz for his time in serving the military, noting that he demonstrated a lack of character in not completing two assignments. I will not praise Walz for deciding to serve himself by retiring as he did

Several of the members of his abandoned unit that went to Iraq have started calling the Minnesota commie governor "AWOLz."

Did he lie about his service record and rank to deceive people, yes or no?

Has Kammie praised Vance for serving in the military?

“Listen, I praise anyone who has presented themselves to serve our country,”
The problem is that Watz didn't really serve our country. He got all the benefits associated with being in the military but when it came time to do the job he signed up for he was a no show.
