L Ron Burgundy Posted August 21 Posted August 21 43 minutes ago, Scraps said: Why would I waste my time on that? I'm not in the cult of the Orange con man. How much would you bet that if we could add up ALL the fraud there'd be considerably more favoring Trump? Believing lies from a con man. How stupid can these people be?
The Frankish Reich Posted August 21 Author Posted August 21 Just now, Scraps said: How was he supposed to know his unit would be deployed to Iraq if he gave his notice to retire 7 months before his unit was told it would be deployed and he was actually retired 2 months before his unit was told it would be deployed? After 24 years of service, and a deployment that had been completed, how is it dishonorable to not commit for another 4 years? From what I've seen, it looks like he had an inkling that they'd deploy, and no doubt that would've put a damper on his plans to run for Congress. So he put in his retirement and it was granted. (Didn't have to be) So it appears technically accurate to say "he retired knowing that his unit would likely be deployed to Iraq in the coming months." It is also technically accurate to say "he retired in order to launch his congressional run." I would suggest that the latter was the primary reason, as you can't very well run a congressional campaign from abroad, be it Italy or Iraq. But whatever. He put in his papers, they approved them.

I kinda wanna ask more questions. In the same way you'd interview someone with a strong form of autism or schizophrenia. He into the blood drinking stuff? 1

Most QAnons disavow Pizzagate because that one ended in a laughable (and nearly tragic) way. The real true believers follow the Fight Club rule, pretending there is no such thing or trying (and failing) to ridicule me when I point out the obvious ties to it.

Walz' superior, Doug Julin, said Walz knew deployment was a distinct possibility. And again, no one is criticizing his 24 years of service. And I don't know if I'd call it "dishonorable" to retire instead of going to war, any more than I'd consider it "dishonorable" to claim you had bone spurs or asthma to get out of being drafted. The "dishonorable" part is claiming you went. 2

He clearly dropped lines on a few occasions that would make anyone believe that he was deployed to Iraq. The rest of it strikes me as people just trying to make something out of nothing. 1

Agree with you there.

The "dishonorable" part is claiming you went. Equating someone who served 24 years, and had been activated and deployed at least once in that time, to someone who dodged service entirely with a bogus claim of bone spurs is stupid beyond words but considering the source, not surprising.

You ever done a 10 mile road march while packing a full ruck sack and carrying a rifle with bone spurs, you knucklehead?

Geez, good thing he had those bone spurs taken care of before he started spending 200 days a year on the golf course. Did you know that podiatrists (like the Trump commercial tenant who wrote him the letter) can do that? https://www.gwapodiatry.com/blog/how-podiatrists-treat-bone-spurs-on-the-heel.cfm

The Frankish Reich Posted August 21 Author Posted August 21 Just now, Scraps said: Obviously yes. Same here. He talks about how he was such a great baseball player in high school, a natural athlete, never mentions any injuries. He talks for years and years about how a high draft lottery number kept him out of Vietnam. Then the NYT (mainstream media, doing actual reporting) goes digging, finds his Selective Service record. Refutes Trump's story; finds that he was exempted based on a medical condition (bone spurs). Does some more digging: bone spurs "diagnosed" by a podiatrist working out of a dump of an office in Queens - a tenant of Fred Trump, Donald's father. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/26/us/politics/trump-vietnam-draft-exemption.html

He was examined by a legitimate podiatrist who found bone spurs.
