YELLOW - Specifically, I’m referring to the Stolen Valor act of 2006.

In short, Walz is a yellow-bellied liar. - Geoffrey Ingersoll -Editor in Chief
YELLOW
  • Hell, I knew one guy, with kids, in the reserves, who got blown up and broke his back. 
  • So it’s for him and his family that I deliver...
YELLOW
One small detail about the Corps that I’ll never forget had huge implications: 
Rank eats last.
In other words, when the hot chow arrives in the field, the first guys who eat are privates, then PFCs, and so on, until you get to sergeants major and officers.
Veep candidate Tim Walz not only ate first, he then abruptly left the field.
It’s getting clearer by the day that a combination of cowardice and rank personal ambition led him to abandon his unit in 2005. 
He then repeatedly lied and misled America about the character of his service on his way to elected office.
In short, Walz is a yellow-bellied liar...

Good morning, Callers, Ballers, Brawlers,
I’m going in on Walz again today, so get ready.
Yesterday, a fellow reporter whom I respect, but who also works for CNN (I know I know) remarked that he could see the side of Walz who simply wanted to retire rather than deploy. You know, he says, the guy did 24 years, had kids, a wife, etc. This fellow is a civilian, no service time, so I felt the urge to explain that I knew several, dozens of enlisted members who extended their contracts to deploy. Hell, I knew one guy, with kids, in the reserves, who got blown up and broke his back. He helped me out greatly when I was freezing cold and in need of gear in Northern Iraq.
So it’s for him and his family that I deliver …

In short, Walz is a yellow-bellied liar.
CNN published a timeline Wednesday that appeared to show Walz had no idea a deployment was coming when he opted to file for office and retire. I immediately called the timeline into question, and they had to amend their story. Walz had allegedly accepted a command promotion in late 2004 that stipulated two more years of service.
Such a position, by its nature, would give him opportunities to hear about orders and potential orders coming down the pipe. By February 2005, he was filing for office. But the very next month, he was releasing statements saying he intended to go if called.
EXCEPT: They were officially called, he promptly retired, and the Guard subsequently stripped him of his rank for failing to serve his stipulated duty.
And it only gets worse from there. In campaign press releases, he explicitly claimed to be a “veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom.”
And that, ladies and gents, is the ball game.
Specifically, I’m referring to the Stolen Valor act of 2006. The act “prohibits falsely representing oneself” as having earned distinctions one did not earn in service, especially for personal gain.
Walz repeated the lie and misdirection so many times that one seasoned reporter across several years published that Walz had actually served in a combat zone!
The bottom line is Trump and Vance have been handed a gift. Start making ads, boys!
