Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz is standing firm in defense of his military record following a barrage of attacks from the Trump campaign. Speaking at the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) event in Los Angeles today, Walz directly addressed the criticism, expressing pride in his 24 years of service in the Army National Guard.
The controversy began when Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance suggested that Walz had exaggerated his military credentials and accused him of abandoning his unit ahead of its deployment to Iraq. . .
