Heidi Li FeldmanThere’s a history of the media helping to “swift-boat” Democratic candidates, which is what Vance is trying to do to Walz. @foser explains: https://www.findinggravity.net/p/breaking-the-new-york-times-helps

Darwin WoodkaEarlier today I learned Vance is what's known in the military as a "Blue Falcon"
There's an avian coincidence — in the UK he'd be referred to as a little tit.

And the one who said veterans who died in battle are losers and suckers was ...

Donald Trump.
Baggins@heidilifeldman @foser Nothing there about bone spurs then?
KanaMauna20 years ago NYTimes helped Bush with the Iraq WMDs and Swiftboating lies and yet liberals kept buying that fishwrapper. This time around we need to make them pay. Don't subscribe, don't buy their writer's books, and don't click on their links. Let them wither.
CallunaThank you for the article. German newspapers often do the same thing. It is frustrating.
If you can comment on the article, anyone who is aware of this rhetoric should comment relentlessly to make more people aware.

Ralph058 (S/he/it) AF4EZ@heidilifeldman @foser Vance spent six months as a public relations clerk in a war zone. He was in a protected area after combat had ended but there was a "clean-up" operation. The Green Zone was a bit dangerous. But, no more so than probably 200 cities in the US.
I spent eight months in the 18th Airborne Corps. I was not jump qualified.
Vance is not more qualified to claim he was in the war than I did claiming I was airborne.
The biggest thing is that in the sentence that SV "Stolen Valor" Vance and Bone Spurs are using to claim that Walz is using stolen glory. They are trying for two for one. Assault Walz and assault his stump speech on assault weapons. He is using the verbal contraction of the word "and" ['n'] and they are claiming he used the word 'in'.
It changes the meaning from assault weapons should only be carried as weapons of war and not that Walz claimed to carry them in war.
