I would guess the web developer in the IT department had a major hand in that page's content, not Tim Walz. But hey, you guys work this angle for all it's worth. The crowds coming out for our joyful warriors are huge. The clown and the couch ****? not so much.
Your service don't mean **** to me man.

“We can make sure that those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at,” Walz said in the video.Walz deployed with the Minnesota National Guard in August 2003 to Vicenza, Italy, as part of support for the US war in Afghanistan, according to a Minnesota Guard spokesperson.
That was uncalled for, Senator.
A FAILURE IN BOTH THE ARMY NATIONAL GUARD AND AS GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTAmaineman » 06 Aug 2024, 4:04 pm » wrote: ↑ Walz attained the rank of command sergeant major near the end of his service, but retired as a master sergeant in 2005 for benefit purposes because he did not complete coursework at the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy. Twenty-four honorable years of service and achieving E-8 is nothing to be ashamed about.

He never said he was on the front lines.
