What Vance is hoping you don't know: CSM Walz COULDN'T have deployed in the first place [View all] jmowreader Aug 2024 OP

Thank you for an interesting and illuminating post, jmow!! Leghorn21 Aug 2024 #1

That is a 3auld6phart Aug 2024 #42

You are saying Walz is "deaf as a post"? former9thward Aug 2024 #2

To the Army having a P3 for hearing is just as good as "deaf as a post" jmowreader Aug 2024 #3

Didn't know Rebl2 Aug 2024 #46

In the British Army "flat feet" definitely did disqualify you. mwooldri Aug 2024 #54

Its really a moot point. He had already announced for Congress. oldsoftie Aug 2024 #39

That is because that was not the reason for him not deploying, he had already made the decision to retire and Bev54 Aug 2024 #55

I doubt he had that hearing loss. former9thward Aug 2024 #56

He has hearing loss and that was known and public before all this bullshit came out. Bev54 Aug 2024 #57

Everyone his age has hearing loss. former9thward Aug 2024 #58

Do some research before you make these statements. He had an operation for it in 2005 Bev54 Aug 2024 #59

Everyone is posting statements without links. former9thward Aug 2024 #60

Maybe you should do your own research and not rely on others. He retired in 2005, so his age now Bev54 Aug 2024 #61

"Hope wakes up singing every morning" is also a powerful message Donkees Aug 2024 #53
