Kinzinger Rips “Disgusting” Attacks On Walz’s Service

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger writes for Fox News:

The attacks on Walz have proven to be not only false but also disgusting. I will debunk the attacks that have been floating around. But first, keep one thing in mind: Donald Trump not only didn’t serve in the military, but he actively avoided service by claiming he had “bone spurs”—a diagnosis he received from a doctor who rented his office from Trump’s father Fred that the doctor’s daughter later called a “favor.” Trump has spent his political career denigrating veterans.

Gov. Walz put in his paperwork for retirement before his unit received alert orders for deployment. In fact, he served for four years AFTER 9/11 and two years after the Iraq War began. He did not leave at the first sign of combat. He stayed well past when he could have retired at 20 years. He served as a CSM, and after retiring, was only reduced because he had not completed his professional military education and hadn’t served in that rank long enough to retire in it. To retire at a rank, you must have held it for several years.
