Fifty military veteran lawmakers have collectively signed an open letter addressed to Tim Walz, the running mate of Kamala Harris.
The letter accuses Walz of constructing his career based on deceitful claims about his military service.
Specifically, he has falsely portrayed himself as a retired command sergeant major and has made misleading statements about carrying weapons in combat, despite never having been deployed to a combat zone.
“The Office of the Vice President is a position that requires the trust of the American people and a solemn commitment to duty on behalf of the United States of America. As veterans who have served our nation, we feel compelled to address your egregious misrepresentations and urge you to come clean to the American people,” begins the letter, organized by Veterans and Military Families for Trump chairman Rep. Brian Mast.
It says the Minnesota Governor is right to be “damn proud” of his service but stresses “there is no honor in lying about the nature of your service.”
“Repeatedly claiming to be a ‘Retired Command Sergeant Major’ when you did not complete the requirements was not honorable. Nor was it honorable to claim to carry weapons ‘in war’ when you had not served in war, and abandoning the men and women under your leadership just as they were getting ready to deploy was certainly not honorable either,” the letter states.
Walz decided to retire early in order to run for Congress while his unit was being prepared for deployment to Iraq.
Despite his earlier assertion that he was unaware of his unit’s impending deployment, recent press releases from his campaign indicate that he was indeed well-informed about it.
“The honor of wearing the uniform is earned through dedication, bravery, and an unwavering sense of duty. You have displayed none of these characteristics as you have lied your way through a political career launched on the foundation of a title you did not earn and combat deployments you did not take part in,” the letter says.
“America’s veterans and servicemembers are rightfully concerned about what would happen to them should you ascend to the Presidency. When America asked you to lead your troops into War, you turned your back on your troops,” it concludes.
“You have violated the trust of our brothers and sisters in arms. Their blood, sweat, and sacrifice are the only reason our nation is able to exist. Until you admit you lied to them, there is no way you can be trusted to serve as Vice President.”

The thing about liberals, they are shit eaters that lie and when caught are not even embarrassed. I wouldn’t be able to make a lying claim like that to a group of friends let alone the whole world. That muthrfkr should be horse whipped then put through a wood chipper
