I served in both Iraq and Afghanistan cowardly J.D. Vance did not. Why didn't Vance re-enlist?

All these Republicans died from Covid
Thankfully...

And...  Just like that Republicans fell in love with the Iraq War all over again

Back in 2005, while overseas at Camp Red Spear Point*, in Ramadi Iraq with my high Pro/Con marks, decent rifle and pft scores, I made the cutting score for promotion to Sgt (E-5).  I also received my first performance evaluation as our tour of duty neared completion.  

I was offered a chance to re-up overseas ($30,000 tax free!) with a guaranteed 6 month B-billet at the legendary 8th & I Barracks assigned to assist in training new 2nd Lieutenants (Butter Bars) for Intel work in the GWoT.  I declined to re-enlist, having spent Christmas 2002, 2003, 2004 overseas and upon returning home I entered the long-coveted 1st Civ Div.  Now, that was only my EAS date my EOS date was still 3 years away.

Which brings up a question:

Corporal Jason Hamel (aka J.D. Vance) as you will note, did not re-enlist despite his big time proclamations of Heroism.  He served from 2003-2007 but as every Veteran knows that first 4 years is active duty and the next 4 are inactive ready reserves.  So...  why did Vance who claimed to have answered his Country's call, not re-enlist for another 4 years and deploy to Iraq again or Afghanistan?  Why did the cowardly J.D. Vance run away?

Instead, Hamel aka J.D. Vance launched a despicable political career now being capped off with a despicable smear of Vice President Tim Walz the other day.

And so here we are back in 2004, with Swiftboaters and Republican cowards, chickenhawks, and warmongers attacking a Veteran.   I didn't think Republicans would fall back in love with the Iraq War again.  I didn’t think my blog posts from 2007-2011 would be relevant again but, then you must always remember Republicans piss on Veterans who stand against their tyrannical rightwing agenda of brutal oppression, hateful intolerance, and destruction of the United States as laid out in  Project 2025 plan partially authored by J.D. Vance himself.

Do you remember Mean Jean Schmidt claiming Congressman John Murtha "a coward who cut and run"?  Schmidt went on to have a public orgasm when she thought the Roberts Court struck down Obamacare and most recently told little girls in Ohio it's a blessing to carry a rapists baby instead of getting an abortion.

If you remember when Sarah Palin and John McCain lost the 2008 election, conservatives on-line declared 11/22/2008 Victory in Iraq Day so they could say anything bad that happens from here on out is President Barack Obama's fault.

Or of more recent vintage perhaps you recall Ted Cruz leading fist bump parade amongst Republicans in the Senate when they defeated President Biden's expanded healthcare bill for Veterans?

Twitter (X) is now thoroughly a Nazi cesspool so it's rife with Republican liars disparaging Governor Tim Walz but, unlike with John Kerry Twitter cuts both ways as people are pushing back against the campaign of rightwing lies and the Republican liars who push them.  Republicans hate America and Republicans hate Veterans, especially ones who call out their weird and creepy, racist and sexist campaign to undermine and destroy the United States of America.

Will, the blitz to smear and slander Vice President Tim Walz, cost the Harris/Walz ticket some votes possibly... but, Republicans aren't counting on votes twin this election, they're counting on a bureaucratic coup and violence form Reactionary weirdos and terrorists.

Additional:

As the attacks on Tim Walz military service begin to fizzle the next avenue of attack 'Grooming' is making itself clear, as Weirdo Stephen Miller every tweet is now Coach Walz gave Tampons to boys.  Remember Twitter (X) isn't real life and We are winning so they viciousness and lies coming from Republicans is only going to get worse.

* - It was Camp Blue Diamond in Ramadi but as we were the 2nd Marine Division I said we should change the name during my tour.
