It’s commendable that [California Democrat running for congress] Derek Tran apparently worked very hard at his job in the Army, even though that job was a junior enlisted soldier serving as a cook. As the saying goes, any job worth doing is worth doing well. But to portray that service as being part of the Iraq war or Operation Enduring Freedom and to portray himself as a “decorated Veteran” is incorrect and an insult to those who did serve – even in what some consider menial jobs – in those conflicts. Many of his claims are carefully phrased to be considered technically correct, but when he says he was “called to active duty for the Iraqi conflict” when he wasn’t even mobilized in a support role for that operation, it seems that he’s engaging in stolen valor.

Served on the front line of a parade and awarded a medal. LOLOL
Their needs to be severe penalties for anybody claiming stolen valor.
Democratic motto.
Be the best opposite of who your are.
A worthless piece of Sh!t.
Tran and Walz must be attending the same Night Class that instructs them how to fabricate fake service record.
Goddamn Army
I am a ” Decorated Veteran”. Good Conduct medal. Army Commendation medal. And something else I can’t remember. Because all those meant was I kept my nose clean and didn’t get fired.
Cold war, combat arms (Air Defense Artillery-Chapparel Vulcan) then Ordinance branch. But I never deployed, nobody ever shot at me during those six years. Never understood why people need to embellish their time in. Because the records are public. Hello MSG Walz! Me and you got something in common. We both wore stripes on a temporary basis in anticipation of us finishing the requirements. I did, and earned Buck Sargent ( E-5). You bombed CSM school and never earned it, and claimed it later. Shame on you.
Side note: Since Dr. Tar didn’t link the Red State article, I will:

Thanks Uncle Al. I think there’s something going on with my slow internet that isn’t saving the links once I attach them. – Dr. Tar
It sounds like he’s embellishing his service record by cooking the books.
Typical lying democRAT!
Republicans can too, but they wind up paying for it cuz democRATz hold the patent on it!

…do not discount the power of the potato. The USS O’Bannon put a Japanese sub on the bottom with a bushel of spuds and men who could throw them…
