Veterans Say Attacks on Candidates’ Service Records Are a Turnoff

Veterans Say Attacks on Candidates’ Service Records Are a Turnoff

Many veterans say that disparaging an opponent’s military service, as JD Vance has done with Tim Walz, is unhelpful, and they want to hear about current issues instead.

Republicans backing the Trump campaign have kept up their attacks on the military career of Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota during the Democratic convention, accusing him, among other things, of having abandoned his fellow soldiers by retiring from the National Guard to run for Congress in 2006, months before his unit deployed to Iraq.
