    Yes; we already covered that. He DID lie. I don't see an issue w/ him retiring before deployment though. He served 23 years. That is enough and he has that right. And yes; I did serve active duty 3 years followed by additional time in the Army Reserve and Army National Guard.

    Vance also never served in combat. Was merely deployed to a combat area: https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/elections-verify/jd-vance-marines-military-service-record-fact-check/536-b3bfb88b-bdb3-4a48-82e1-4c7ebdd05c03

    He was a journalist. I'm not going to call him a hero by a long shot when I was actually in combat arms. Was he forced to go with his unit or did he go out of his way to be part of the war efforts? Being deployed is part of the job and part of the risk you take. Trump got grazed in the ear. Doesn't make him a hero one bit, or somebody I even respects as a human being. In fact, he's a coward for dodging the draft and constantly lying.

    What's wrong? The disgusting winger hypocrisy is the issue. Yes, Vance served. I tried to change that but it now won't let me. Maybe because it was the 1st post of the thread?

    Master Sergeant is actually a very high rank. That's E-9, the highest pay grade you can get as an enlisted soldier. Most enlisted soldiers, even if they make it to retirement, don't retire at nearly that high of a pay grade. He obviously did a great job of serving his country.

    It was a legitimate lie but to obsess over that lie from 6 years ago when your own candidate literally lies dozens of times every time he speaks is beyond ridiculous and hypocritical. If the wingers had integrity they'd be screaming about Trump's dishonesty.
  7. red viking
    It's hypocritical for the wingers to question Walz's military record when Trump dodged the draft and Vance didn't do anything spectacular either.
  8. red viking
    See above. Army. Total of 6 years.
  9. red viking
    Vance military record is fine, but not comparable to the 23 years that Walz served. Trump was a draft dodger.
  10. red viking
    Yah. How about your service record? I served 3 years active duty artillery (Multiple Launch Rocket System); followed by 3 years National Guard and Army Reserve as a medic. Requested transfer to IRR in August 2001.

    Anybody that utilizes Fox as their main source of news is going to inevitably be delusional, no matter how smart they otherwise are.

    Sure; the right will complain a little but there's a double standard. For Walz, they go back to 2018 to find something he lied about. Trump was almost assassinated but didn't get any significant damage so he's not a "Braveheart" like the fringe right likes to call him. Vance served 4 years as a journalist. What a joke.
  13. red viking
    Granted, Walz made a mistake by saying he was in a war. This was a lie. It was 6 years ago. Meanwhile, Trump makes several lies every single time he makes a speech. Nobody complains about that. And he and Vance never served their countries at all. In fact, Trump purposely evaded any type of military service during the Vietnam War. Thank you Governor Walz for your 23 years of military service. Definitely more brave than being grazed by a bullet in the ear.

    It's pretty simple. We're not experts on what is biased and what isn't. Rely on the experts to determine more reliable news sources and get most of your info from those sources. My "go to's" are Reuters and BNO News. From my experience, the more "boring" sources are generally the most accurate. The more entertaining and alarming sources are garbage.

    If I was in Gaza, I'd probably join Hamas, knowing what I know about how they've been treated for decades now. Every person there has family members that have been killed or severely mistreated by Israel. I'd probably have some too. Not that I'm a terrorist in my current life. But if I were in that position, I may have been. I know I'd be extremely angry.

    Have some empathy. I'll tell you what. I'm a man. If somebody comes and takes my land from my family and says we can't have it anymore because of my religion (or non-religion) because it is now designated to people of a different religion, I'm not gonna lay down and take it. If my weapons are inferior, I'll find a way to make sure somebody pays.
  17. red viking
    Yes. We did (the UN) when we handed that territory over to them, designating it for a specific religion. And then they did too, when they continued to expand their settlements and take more territory through the years.
  18. red viking
    I'm sure they're a lot more knowledgeable than you. It doesn't matter though. You'll continue to just deny anything that goes against your view from the fringe right. Everybody is ganging up and biased against the right except places like Fox, which is very accurate. Anybody that says otherwise is simply lying. Confirmation bias. You should look it up.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/imane-khelif-olympic-championships-gender-controversy-rcna165395 Great story. So far, she's been able to courageously not allow all the hate and bigotry (possibly associated with a hormonal or chromosomal disorder) distract or demotivate her from a great performance. Still forging ahead and taking down opponents. Best of luck in the finals Khelif and pretend you're fighting one of these bigots in the finals.

    Wrong. I just said CNN and ABC were near the middle but slightly left (CNN farther than ABC).
  22. red viking
    The right will continue to find ways to justify every Israeli atrocity and genocidal act, no matter how brutal. Per the Bible, he who blesses Israel will be blessed.
  23. red viking
    What does it mean to be "signed up" to a "terrorist group?" These statements coming from the fringe right are extremely ambiguous and, like always, open to a lot of interpretation.
  24. red viking
    To the whacky right, everything is biased to the left except Fox, which is in the middle. The only sources that are "righty" are EXTREME fringe sources like Breitbart or that nutjob Alex Jones.
  25. red viking
    Fox News (TV) is on the fringe, like MSNBC. ABC and CNN are closer to the middle, even if they slightly lean left. ABC is extremely close to the middle. https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-credible-conservative-news-sources-1
