Biden and stolen valor
...
Perhaps that is why many veterans get touchy when there’s even a whiff that a politician has inflated his military service. In his own words, Gov. Tim Walz claimed he was “the highest-ranking enlisted service member ever to serve in Congress.” Yet Walz did not retire as a command sergeant major, but as a master sergeant.
Worse, the governor called for gun control by saying: “We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at.” That’s not a misquote or a paraphrase gone wrong. The Harris-Walz campaign even posted it on Twitter.
What so offends his fellow veterans, despite his 24 years of National Guard service, is that Walz claims to be a warrior but never deployed to war.
There’s an expression for that kind of bragging: stolen valor.
The Biden-Harris military record rings the same way. Biden called America’s humiliation in Afghanistan “a success.” Their administration ordered the Department of Defense to invest 8 million man-hours rooting out “extremists,” an exercise that came up with a whopping 10 cases. Biden even claims to be a warrior himself: “I’ve been all over the world with you. I’ve been in and out of battle.”
Between the delusions of grandeur and outright lies, it is any wonder that military recruiting plummeted under Biden-Harris?
If the Harris campaign thought bringing on Walz would shore up the disastrous Biden-Harris military record, it’s an inauspicious start.
It looks like the Kmala Harris team did a poor job of vetting Walz. If they had done a better job they would have discovered that he had been lying about where he had served. It did not take that long for opponents and the media to discover that Walz lied about where he had served.
