Yep. It was sort of a back door draft and completely wrong.

[@Spongebrain97]

​@SejoPas Walz didn't abandon anyone though. He had been contemplating getting out after 24 years and retired months before his unit got orders to deploy. So you're believing a straight up lie. Also after Walz retired and went into politics, he immediately began campaigning for veteran's Healthcare so he was still invested in helping those still overseas

[@trudycolborne2371]

​@@SejoPasHe put in for retirement months before his unit got notice. He retired nearly a year before deployment. His commanding officers would not approve his retirement if it impacted readiness. Anyone telling you differently is twisting the truth to make a fool of you.

I had no idea that Ventura tried to unionize wrestlers. Amazing

[@Fix_It_Again_Tony]

Yeah, that is super interesting because it's been somewhat of an open secret for years that McMahon treated his talent poorly. Wrestlers are independent contractors who get no health benefits. They literally put their bodies on the line every performance and when they are arthritic and and their brains riddled with CTE, the WWE just finds "new meat". Naturally there are also no retirement benefits. Despite being independent contractors wrestlers are limited by the WWE from engaging in activities that may help supplement their incomes like streaming on Twitch and likely other forms of promotion on social media. So the people at the top of the WWE were raking in the cash, and McMahon monetarily rewarded Hulk Hogan for his loyalty, but pay dropped off steeply from there with many not knowing day to day whether they would have a job or not. They were required to provide their own transportation to the events, with many occurring in foreign countries. Imagine if the NFL or MLB required players to pay for their own flights. Of course many of these payers get paid very, very well, but that's because of their unions. It's a perfect example of why a union is needed: Immense pay and power disparities between management and workers, plus severe health risks inherent in the job for workers without any kind of protections for them and the lack of the ability of workers to have any say in their careers.

Sgt Ventura? What a joke. After 6 years in the Navy he could only attain the rank of E4 and that was during the Vietnam war. He never saw combat and the only medal he was issued was the National Defense Medal which everyone who serves honorable gets. As a retired Army Veteran who served 2 years in the reserves and over 20 years of active duty (2 and a half in Vietnam and a hardship tour in Korea) I find both men disgusting. I will NEVER vote for Walz and Harris for any public position.

[@Ziegfried82]

TBH Jesse Ventura is full of it at least half the time. JD Vance is correct in his accusations, not that I particularly care. Jesse played a heel in pro wrestling because it fit his personality. He's bitter about Terry Bolea (Hulk Hogan) because Terry was able to bounce between heel and babyface which Jesse could never pull off cause he's too much of an A-hole. I will say he was a better governor than any D or R but that ain't sayin much!! Besides the real issue with Walz is his CCP connections. How much money does he have in China I wonder?!

[@カスカディア国人]

I’m fully onboard with Kamala, but I don’t know if she will give that up, it’s so much power to have as a President that even the best of people will be convinced “I can use this for good” I hope though that she does weaken the powers of the President in general that way if we get another Trump in the future they will do less damage to us.

[@richardvernon317]

Normally they are not, but a lot of plans in most Military's like the UK and US involve Reservists and the Weekend Warriors (NG (US) and TA (UK) being involved in overseas wars. There are basically two types of war a Country can fight, General (USA and Allies toe to toe with the Commies in WWIII would be example) or Limited (Vietnam / Iraq / Afghanistan). In the former the National Guard would be activated and during the Cold War, NG/ANG units did deploy the Europe to train and do exercises as if a general war started they would be required to fight overseas. In the later, limited war, the NG would most likely back fill US based slots (however medical units and alike would deploy), However fighting in AFG and Iraq at the same time was stupid.

This is an existentialist crisis and we cannot help the people of Gaza if we sleepwalk into being ruled by a dictator ourselves. None of this is ideal and if you assume I'm not an advocate for, and tormented by the suffering of the people in Gaza, you're making a serious mistake. I'm not going into the whole complex and ghastly situation in the ME. But it is not undone or cured by being self-righteous about it and then not voting for Harris. When the political world is perfectly lined up to your satisfaction let me know, but meanwhile neither Walz, Harris or Biden are responsible for the situation entirely. Be careful about speaking in absolutes.

[@orion3706]

Jesse missed the point of what Vance was criticizing. It wasn't Vance criticizing Walz for his military service. It was Walz lying, saying he went into combat, he didn't. In regards to marijuana legalization, I live in Illinois, and it was one of the worst decisions by our governor, JB Pritzker, that legalized recreational marijuana.

Jesse was coming down the hall with many of his people in his wake, he goes in the restroom saying "Alright gang, I can handle this myself." After he came out (with freshly washed hands) he asked me if I would be kind enough to introduce him to one of my coworkers. "I'll check with him." and went to his dressing room and informed him that Governor Jesse Ventura was wondering if you have the time for a brief meeting in the hall... Then I introduced them... "Governor Jesse Ventura... Patrick Stewart, Patrick Stewart... Governor Jesse Ventura... Yep, well that just happened..." then I excused myself to let the two talk in relative peace.

My Dad was a Command Master Chief (E-9) in the Navy for 32 years. He never was in a combat zone, but being stationed on aircraft carriers comes with some risk. It goes without saying that military service is a bigger commitment and comes with a little more danger than most civilian occupations even during peaceful times. From my observations of Walz, he must have been an awesome Command Master Sergeant.
