Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, has taken to X in response to recent attacks on Tim Walz’s military record by Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio.), who is the running mate of Republican presidential contender Donald Trump.
Vance has accused Walz of “stolen valor” for retiring from his military career before a potential deployment to Iraq, reported Politico. However, there is no evidence to support these claims. Walz has openly acknowledged never facing combat during his 24 years of service.
