My father served in the Normandy Invasion in a unit with the highest casualties of the war. He rarely mentioned it but once said, “People who were never in combat are always talking up their service. People who actually were in combat prefer not to talk about it.” It seems to me that our politicians throw around deploying troops here and there very casually while their kids are in the Ivy League. To me, it is obvious that Walz was being deceptive. Probably not a big issue if you were previously deployed at the New York Times.
Both my grandfathers went overseas and fought in WWI. One died before I was born, but had been wounded, the other I got to know. He never talked about the war. Only afterward, researching my ancestry and retrieving his war records I found he was in an artillery unit and was promoted from Private, Private First Class, Cpl to Sgt. My dad enlisted in WWII and never talked it either.
