Vance left me with the impression that he was in combat when he called Walz out publicly. Like you, I looked it up, because I couldn't fathom someone making that leap with Walz unless he saw some serious combat sh*t, and was suffering from PTSD and overreacted.old salt wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2024 2:25 amThat's what you might think because you have no idea what I'm talking about, then you become outraged when someone explains what he really did, instead of the impression he leaves with you.a fan wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2024 2:15 amI can tell you exactly what the average independent voter thinks about your attempt to trash Walz for political gain. We've seen this play before.old salt wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2024 12:39 am Had I not known Walz's history when I first saw the video's of his assault weapons rant & his campaign ad for governor, I would have come away with the impression that he had deployed to Afghanistan & seen combat there, ...& I listen closely for such things. What impression do you think most members of the general public came away with after hearing it. What % of the general public understand the difference between service in the National Guard & service in the active duty regular Army ?
The message that they got from you, your pals at FoxNews, Vance, and Trump:
Turns out, nope. He didn't serve in combat either....so..... where am I supposed to put that?
Let me guess: "That's different". This is how your brain works OS: you think that ONLY OLD SALT is allowed to let his imagination run wild with the BS of "Walz gave me the impression".
I get to do it, too. Walz gave me the impression that he trained and fired those military guns, and don't want them on our streets.
He never said he served in combat.
If you and your pals were SERIOUS about this stupidity, you'd simply ask Walz: "Hey dude, did you fight in combat".
And then when he said "No", you'd STFU. Instead? You're on here telling the board it's some coincidence that the most in the bag partisan the forum has EVER seen is calling balls and strikes with Walz.
Ever meet a WWII or Vietnam vet? And asked them "were you in the war"? And they said "yes".
Now how many of them, when asking them further questions, would answer "no, I didn't see combat"? Tens of thousands, Old Salt. Yet you're on here telling us that those Vets would be lying if they told you that they served in Vietnam....or in WWII....and never saw a combat zone. That's what you're doing here.
And you know it. You're digging your heels in because that's what you do. You're not fooling anyone with this game. You know Vance is being a POS politician with no shame, and that Walz did nothing wrong.
