Doesn't matter how many times we tell him that, and that we're telling him this from a position of respect.DMac wrote: ↑Fri Aug 09, 2024 11:30 amMan, salty, that R thing really does have a chokehold on you. I'll never understand the more or less blind allegiance both the Ds and Rs have to their letter.old salt wrote
I think you underestimate the hazard in Vance's service. He was based at Al-Asad in Anbar province which is still under attack. He embedded in civil affairs team which went into Iraqi villiages. Unlike Walz, he carried an assault rifle in a war zone, was exposed to IEDs & snipers, & earned hazardous duty pay.
Walz's service was commendable, but he never faced the risks that Vance did on deployment.
Corporal Vance did not have the option to volunteer for his assignment. He went where his unit deployed & did his assigned tasks.
If Walz had a R by his name, he'd be on here defending his service. Full stop, no excuses. Same as he's hilariously doing for Vance.
And he thinks it's a coincidence that yet again, he's giving it to a Dem, and defending a R.
He and millions like him on both sides are why America is circling the drain.....it USED to be that when a R did or said something stupid, R voters would react negatively. Not anymore. No matter what they say or do, Old Salt and his ilk are standing by, ready to tell us that what that R did....even committing felonies....is sooper-cool and awesome.
I don't get it either, Dmac.
