Since he became Kamala Harris' running mate there have been vicious attacks on Tim Walz's military service. Some of them, particularly from rival JD Vance, are especially sickening.
Now, any military member thinking of running for office could be dissuaded. Who knows how any part of your military record could be twisted or distorted to make your service look less than honorable.

Kinzinger served in the Air Force in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. He retired with the rank of Lt. Colonel in 2023.
Following in his father’s footsteps, Tim Walz joined the Army Guard, enlisting just two days after his 17th birthday, when he first became eligible, and served honorably for 24 years, achieving the highest enlisted rank offered. Then, he went on to serve as a champion for veterans and military families in Congress, leading the effort to pass a bipartisan bill to provide mental health services to veterans, leading a bipartisan effort to expand the GI Bill, and repeatedly voting to increase military funding. The nation should be proud, and JD Vance should be respectful of his fellow brother-in-arms.
