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.
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 was thinking it is almost its own form of stolen valor, but I’m not a vet, so my opinions remain just that.
Edit: “it” being to denigrate Waltz’s honorable and valued service, in case that wasn’t clear

It seems like he escorted journalists around and helped Iraqis, so he performed important and dangerous tasks.
The greasy weasel is gatekeeping.

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

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