👋 Two-time Iraq war vet here, and I used to run Readiness policy in the Pentagon. Not only is this a false and debunked denigration of a fellow vet, but it also shows how unready you are to be a heartbeat away. 🧵
You know what really bothers me about Tim Walz?
When the US Marine Corps asked me to go to Iraq to serve my country, I did it.
When Tim Walz was asked by his country to go to Iraq, he dropped out of the Army and allowed his unit to go without him. I think that's shameful.

In

case, leaving service honorably on his own terms meant becoming a congressman where he made sure our generation of vets was taken care of - btw, did the Post 9/11 GI bill help pay for Yale? If so, have you thanked Tim?

Our All-Volunteer Force depends on folks stepping up to serve come what may and exit service honorably when their obligations were filled to find a next calling - just like you and

did. And as they say, the “Army goes rolling along,” better for those that came before.

This year's 9/11 should give us pause; the first child born after 9/11/2001 can now fight and die in the same war that began before they were born. We have since fought wars in 14 countries and will soon have enlisted men/women who have never known a world before the attacks.

Your bravery and integrity is inspiring,
@JasonKander
. Your support means the world to me. Who would've thought 14 years ago when we stood shoulder-to-shoulder to defend the Constitution that we would be here one day?!
When I raised my right hand, swore the oath, and accepted my commission as an officer in the US Army,
@danielfeehan
was standing beside me.
Proud to stand beside him as he prepares to serve our country once again.

I sought counseling following each of my tours in Iraq to help me work through the experiences I had in combat. It helped. It made me a better father, a better husband and ultimately a better leader. (1/3)
I suffer from depression and have PTSD symptoms. After 11 years, I'm finally ready to do something about it:

@McCreadyForNC
