    It seems like they have a valid reason to voice their opinions.

    I like Klobuchar also - she was on MSNBC last night talking about how she was good friends with Walz and how she thought he was a great pick for VP.

    Sounds like Melania might be a criminal.

    Political mudslinging is indeed a valid reason.

    It's a bit overwrought. He didn't abandon his troops on the battlefield. He retired, as was his option. After 24 years, which is 24 more years than Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, and I all served, and 20 more years than JD Vance served.

    For whom do these two speak? Were they selected as spokespersons?
    Charges were raised and debunked before Congressional and Governor's race but now are back from the dead with national profile because Trump has nothing to run on.

    Ultraconservative Wall Street Journal editorial board made it clear they oppose Harris/Walz ticket but said this is bunk.

    You know that feeling when you’re watching the Western Conference finals and the team you’re rooting for is down 9 and calls a timeout and they substitute the point guard out for his backup and suddenly the opposition has no idea what to do with him and you go on a 15-2 run to hold a 4 point lead?

    That’s how I feel today.

    I just wanted to provide an opinion from other service members that served in the role of CSM, since me father was one as well. Walz has introduced himself as a retired CSM, when apparently he shouldn't.. He made a choice to retire, sure, as riverman always says, choices. He has to answer to that choice he made.

    He may have not done it ON the battlefield, but they were notified that they would be mobilized.

    You guys are coming at me like I'm saying "Vote Trump", but I do not mean to portray that. Harris and Walz are always going to be better than that fool no matter the skeletons in their closet, which do seem minor.

    I may not have served, but I do have a bit of unique perspective here. Feel free to disagree.

    Not sure what charges you speak of, or how harland crow came up. Then again, hard to tell if you were responding to me since you didn't quote me. That makes having a productive conversation with you difficult.

    For all this bluster, it is still just a job. He went back in at 37 years old and then at 41 decided he didn’t want to continue working that job. I’ve done similar.

    41 is a bit old for soldiering.
    Not responding to anyone particular,@Shaboid. Responding to swift boating of Walz by a campaign with nothing to offer.

    I hate to post this. But some of you need to watch this video. An interview with a high ranking enlisted man that served many years with Walz.

    Conservatives are so funny: they change the rules of decorum so they can get away with doing something shitty, then when the liberals go “oh the rules have changed! We’re going to do what you do now!” they all act like someone murdered their mom.
