    Not only that, but for JD Vance to act like his service was real service while Walz wasn’t is just insulting to over 90% of the military that didn’t deploy to a combat zone. Neither of them chose where to deploy. The military chooses for you. Also, Vance was in motherfucking public affairs. Dude had a cushy ass job, probably spending his time checking grammar errors in press releases. He’s acting like he was Ricky Recon fighting in Fallujah. Additionally, Vance did 4 years, while Walz did 24 years. Walz also deployed to disaster response and got a fancy award called Nebraska Citizen-Soldier of the Year. Vance is being pathetic with his miltary superiority bs.

    Edit: I was mistaken. It seems like he escorted journalists around and helped Iraqis, so he performed important and dangerous tasks.

        There’s a pretty high number of combat veterans who feel superior to the rest of us with non-combat roles. Humans get clique-y in every space it seems.

      I heard his role involved escorting journalists around Iraq, but yes, it seems he never experienced combat. [1]

      probably spending his time checking grammar errors in press releases.

      He was educated under No Child Left Behind. Is he capable of that job?
