OMG. This is yet another thing that if a screenwriter came up with it, you’d laugh the poor person into oblivion. J.D. Vance was considered an asset for the Trump ticket because of his military service, particularly in Iraq, which it turns out was six months sitting in an air conditioned office writing press releases. So he’s been defending his service record and talking about Trump’s glowing views on the military and we’ll get to that in just a moment. Meanwhile, Vance has depicted Tim Walz as a coward and claiming he’s inflating his rank and VoteVets got right on top of that one. J.D. Vance just blew himself up with a grenade.
From a Navy veteran, thank you, @Tim_Walz, for your 24 years of service and for introducing free breakfasts and lunches for kids in schools in your state. The far right always tries to cry about “stolen valor” when Trump was a coward and dodged the draft, and his couch humping…

the tweet ends, “buddy JD was a pencil pusher sitting behind a desk,” and three laughing emojis. And now it gets comical.
Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance admitted he never saw combat in Iraq and defended Donald Trump’s lack of military service.
After accusing Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz of “stolen valor” on Wednesday, Vance took questions from reporters in Wisconsin.
“I just want to ask about the accusation this morning about Walz, about abandoning his fellow soldiers,” a reporter asked Vance on an airport tarmac. “Are you basing that on anything more than a Facebook post?”
“I mean, these are, as you know, serious accusations, as well, like, I mean, your running mate has faced similar accusations about avoiding service because of bone spurs,” the reporter added.
Vance claimed there was a “difference” between Trump’s failure to serve and Walz’s decision to leave the military after 24 years.
“President Trump did not serve in the United States military,” Vance admitted. “He’s never claimed that he did. Walz did say on camera that ‘I carried a gun in a war.'”
“And I think the evidence at this point is overwhelming that he lied about serving in a combat zone,” he continued. “By the way, I served in a combat zone. I answered the call. I’ve never lied about my military service.”
The Republican candidate accused Walz of “disgraceful conduct” and lying about combat service.
The New Republic pointed out that Vance’s military service “wasn’t exactly the boots-on-the-ground experience that he’s now framing it as.”
“Instead, Vance served a single four-year enlistment in the public affairs section in the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, and wrote in his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, that he was ‘lucky to escape any real fighting,'” the report said.
Do yourself a favor click the link to Raw Story and scroll down to the video. Listening to this guy lie is so entertaining. Especially when credible people slap him back within a few hours time. Now we get to Vance lying about how much Trump “admires” the suckers and losers military.
This is how simple it is. J.D. Vance is a liar. He has no moral compass. He’s merely trying to attain power and money. He’ll say or do anything to get that. Tim Walz is the real thing. Walz served in the military, Walz taught school, Walz has a record in government as a public servant. Walz is not there to do the bidding of oligarchs and overthrow democracy and initiate oligarchy. J.D. Vance is there precisely for that reason.
Luckily for us, he is so gawdawful bad at this that he falls on his ass daily.
Command Sergeant Major is the second highest rank an enlisted man can earn in the Army….the only rank higher is Command Sergeant Major of the Army and there is only one of those in the entire Army.
Hillbilly Hitler sat on his fat ass and answered phones in an air conditioned office.
Such a fn Qweirdo.
Wow…you’re a homophobic jackass.
“J.D. Vance is a liar. He has no moral compass.”
He is a republican.
It’s not weird that people are connecting those sentences.
Listening to these lying, smug, self-righteous a**holes day in and day out gets so tiresome. It’s all the same BS over and over again, and the bottom line is they believe nothing that they say. They only say it to get what they want, whether it’s about the military, religion, democracy, nothing is sacred to them. Everything is used to further their ambitions. I wonder if we’ll ever see a day where these cockroaches crawl back under the rocks that tRump shook them out of. If only.
