4 days ago — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz “misspoke” in a newly resurfaced video from 2018 in which he said he handled assault weapons “in war,” a Harris ...
Misspeaking and changing your opinion are two different things. Walz lied about his service record to cover up the fact he was a coward. You can use word salad all you want, but that's an actual fact.
I'm assuming you're referring to JD Vance changing his opinion on Trump. That's something completely different and the fact you're trying to equate the two, is you just trying to have a "gotcha" moment.
Actually, Sobrmn equates the two. You can see it in his posts. And I wasn't going to use Vance. Vance's flip/flop on his opinion of Trump isn't a change in position. He is an opportunist. He will take whatever position he thinks will get him what he wants.
I was going to use Trump's policy changes as an example. Because Trump takes a new position based on who he talked to last. Like his stance on cryptocurrency. He's been blasting it for years and years. Then he has a meeting with some lobbyists and now he is the champion of crypto.

Guy does so many reversals it's amazing that he can actually manage to sit on a toilet bowl facing the right way - if he actually does,,,
And your opinion of Walz is your opinion. You probably think that he abandoned his troops when he retired. I bet you haven't gone to look at the actual time line and you're unaware of how long these things take in the Army.
Walz's unit was notified that it might be deployed within the next 2 years in March of 2005. Walz retired in May of 2005. And that sure does look like he jumped. But according to the National Guard a soldier has to submit paperwork for retirement 6 to 7 months ahead of the desired date.
So....
That means that since Walz exited the service in May of 2005, he had to have submitted his paperwork a full 6 months earlier. In 2004. He was a 'short-timer'. When his unit was notified it might be deployed, he was already on his way out.
Your opinion is your opinion. But basing it out a lack of understanding how the military bureaucracy works is factually wrong.
