  • Dana, the American People are DONE with the LIES! Enough already, don’t you think?
  • @willowsloughdx
    Warrior Corporal Vance was armed with a milspec word processor for six months in Iraq.
  • @bobfeeney2067
    He was Illustrating about weapons of war on the streets of our country.Also he served 4 years more then his required 20yrs. He retired an E-9 the top of the enlisted ranks.You implied he got out to avoid going to Iraq. Your despicable Vance.
  • @red_panda4282
    So why would a Master Sergeant from his unit come out and say that you're absolutely full of sh**. It almost like you threw a veteran under the bus because you were losing a campaign. That.. would be disgraceful.
  • @jiggahenry9471
    JD when they introduced you as combat correspondent, why didn’t you say, no no no, I never saw combat, I just wrote propaganda and showed real journalist around the base? I mean if we care so much about truth
  • @neeblert
    JD said that Walz retired to get out of a deployment, but Walz retired before he could have known he was going to be deployed. JD is lying about lying.
  • @PaEMT_FF9
    Ask him for one of his challenge coins.
  • @buixote
    And what daring do was JD involved with? He wouldn't even be in Congress if Peter Thiel hadn't given him a job and paid for his campaign.
  • @krist5860
    “Bailed out” after 24 years! They are weird asf 😒
  • @lisaduran7032
    Shady literally criticized his service, backpedaled a bit, but we all heard it & there’s receipts.
  • @kalon227
    He said he misspoke. Let him who is without sin cast the first stone. Now JD, how did you get that navy/Marine Corps achievement ribbon? And how could you be an effective combat correspondent without actually being in combat, which the Marine Corps says you weren’t?
  • @gund89123
    Walz served for 24 years, resigned in 2005? Sent his team to Iraq in 2006, so Walz bailed out ? On who how ? How is it bailing out if he resigned almost one year before his team went to Iraq ?
