True. In bars, I’m always a fighter pilot lol. To add to the discussion, Walz is wearing a ball cap now with the Specials Forces (Green Beret) insignia, he doesn’t rate that and could result in a beat down from a real Green Beret in a barroom.
Dude, if you *really* wanted to get laid you’d claim you were a tailwheel pilot. (Source: I am a tailwheel pilot and when I let that slip, beautiful ladies throw me their panties. And I’m a 66-year-old straight woman. 🤣)
In bars, I am not even a pilot but some who served in the USAF. There is even ambiguity as to enlisted or officer. Maybe with time they will find out that I am one of the exceptions to "How do you know who in the room is a pilot? Don't worry, they will tell you."
As to "he doesn’t rate that and could result in a beat down from a real Green Beret in a barroom." Most that I know wouldn't even waste the time. Over the years, I think that I have met 52 of the 32-35 SAS members that were involved the Iranian Embassy siege so I discount a lot.
He went further, talking about the weapons he carried in combat. This lie, and the lie of being a Command Sergeant Major, became part of his political resume. Calculated. This man is unfit for office.
I thought I read in a couple of places that the officer who dealt with him during his dui stated that he was “unfit for office” as well. Just watching his hyperactive behavior makes me wonder how he got elected to anything.
Of course, when you're in a bar, trying to get laid, you will say anything that improves your chances ... lies, half-truths, whatever. I agree. Tim Walz is treating us the same way. Truth and honesty isn't important to him. He is just trying to improve his chances.
And he has a history of doing this. That “weapons I carried to war” comment was from 2019. Recently he’s been more careful with his wording, in a way that if you know the truth he comes off as a dishonest dirtbag but if you don’t scrutinize it, it sounds like he served in Afghanistan.
A good friend of mine is a retired special forces officer and veteran of Desert Storm. I asked him about stolen valor. His response: “Stolen valor is bad, very bad but only an indicator of a worse character disorder which can infect any and all decisions.”
Same with my dad. He never talked about it until he was on his deathbed. It was too painful for him to recall all the friends he lost that fought alongside him in that useless war
Anyone who has "seen the elephant" will tell you Walz is a phony. I knew guys in the Nam who were like him. I was a grunt in USMC worked the DMZ walked point yada yada. I just started laughing when I read his comments and I went to Iraq in 90 with 3rd Armored Div it was a stroll in the woods compared to the Nam :).
A colleague of mine who was in logistics in Iraq (and Vietnam before that) said he'd go back to the Green Zone because it was "safer" then our University political atmosphere.
Oh, but he was just "following the science" 15 days to flatten the curve. Greatest CON and CRIME against humanity in the history of time all things considered.
It's like I tell my buddies - I would never lie to you. Unless it was about sex.
Hey Alex - where is the article about how Noah Lyles could run the 200 meters and get a bronze medal with a disease that required society to shut down for a year ....
I was in a “hazardous duty” zone in uniform but not in a combat zone. So, I will leave the “stolen valor” takedown of Tampon Tim to those who did serve in combat (thanks for your service, you have my undying respect), and the gold star families….please fire at will. Seriously Alex, all we get is “half truth” about “Snitch Line” Walz? Walz is your typical Dem…you can tell he is lying because his lips are moving.
For those who might feel that stolen valor isn’t important to those in the military read this.
Jeremy Michael Boorda (November 26, 1939 – May 16, 1996) was a United States Navy admiral who served as the 25th Chief of Naval Operations. Boorda is notable as the first person to have risen from the enlisted ranks to become Chief of Naval Operations, the highest-ranking billet in the United States Navy
Boorda died by suicide by shooting himself in the chest after leaving suicide notes reported to contain expressions of concern that he had tarnished the reputation of the Navy, following a media investigation into the legitimacy of his having worn on his uniform two service medals with bronze "V" devices, which indicate the awards were for acts of valor. The "V" devices are by regulation only to be awarded to personnel who performed an act of valor in actual combat, and Boorda had not served in combat. Boorda had removed the two medal devices on his uniform almost a year before he died.
I work with a Vietnam veteran. I can't say his name, but he served THREE tours as a platoon commander. His comment on this particular matter "I would like to get a hold of him and twist his ass into a pretzel". Well put.

He's seriously doubling down on his ambiguity around actual service by wearing a Special Forces ball cap? What's wrong with his judgment??
His tenure as Governor has made it plainly evident he doesn't have any judgement that matters.
Well…
A boy can dream.
Of tampons in the men’s room?

What am I doing wrong? My 8KCAB time has netted me zero panties...
A Decathalon? Pull a -3G maneuver and they’ll float like Bob Hoover’s iced tea.
The Hooker harnesses keep everything secure save for the occasional breakfast. ;-)
Lmao!

Reminds me of a joke - Do you know how you can tell your date with a fighter pilot is half over?
———— He says, “Enough about flying. Let’s talk about me.” LOL
In bars I was an Airborne Ranger Infantry officer and didn’t get laid. But going to bars as an author and sensitive writer was the best ticket. 😎

Yep the progressive libs have trouble with truth. They only say what they think will help them get elected or to hang on to power.

Agree. Volatile with a temper, the kind of person you avoid unless talking fishing. Not somebody I want to deal with professionally.

He really wants to fuck the American people. Hard.
Funny that I hadn't read your post before I added mine that parallel's your thinking there.
ON THE DRY!
The sad part is that half the country is happily bending over. I’m sad that their ignorance affects me. But I’ll do my part regardless.

Absolutely- believe it when a liar lies - they has nothing good to offer you. A whole host of non 10 Commandments follow.
This is a wise man. 100% true
Boom!
Every deployed vet I've ever met has understated his/her service.
Or like my Dad who was a lifer in the Navy … did not talk about his war experiences (2x in Vietnam) much at all.
Yup. We’ve been married for 36 years and my husband has rarely talked about his experience. He shares snippets at odd moments.
Same here. He never mentioned it to anyone for a couple of decades and only talked about it at all with a fellow Vietnam vet he met at work.
Same with my dad. He never talked about it until he was on his deathbed. It was too painful for him to recall all the friends he lost that fought alongside him in that useless war
That's been my experience, too.
100% 🎯

Wow! Boy that says a lot! So true, never quite thought about it like that.
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service.
I agree with his assessment and Walz has crossed a line that he cannot un- cross. Especially with current and former service members.
Walz is a narcissistic blustering loud mouth. I’ve disliked him since covid, when the tyrant screwed his people.
Oh, but he was just "following the science" 15 days to flatten the curve. Greatest CON and CRIME against humanity in the history of time all things considered.
Excellent point! And witty.

Now that I think about it, I met a few fighter pilots in my bar hopping days! I never seem to meet them anymore now that I'm 60.
Drones are putting them out of business in any case.
Well said and thank you for your service!
I 2nd that!
That guy I'd vote for!

He would like to but when it comes down to it why bother with something you scrape off a boot.
