'His unit thinks he's a coward!' Shouting erupts on Fox News over Walz's military service
Raw StoryA panel on Fox News' "The Five" erupted into chaos on Wednesday when resident Democratic commentator Jessica Tarlov chided the rest of the group for echoing the Trump campaign's attacks on Minnesota Gov. Vance's claim that Walz, who served in the Army National Guard for decades, abandoned his unit by retiring just before he was deployed to Iraq — even though those orders came several months after Walz retired to run for Congress, and even though neither Walz nor Vance ever served in a combat role. "So obviously, this was going to come up because the Trump campaign manager was the one behind the John Kerry Swift Boat attack, which was obviously very persuasive to people," said Tarlov. "He served for 24 years, honorably, then he stopped to run for Congress on a platform of ending the war, and I don't think that anyone, especially with Donald Trump at the top of a ticket, he dodged the draft four or five times, bone spurs, Captain Bone Spurs."
