Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

TLDR: Tim Walz's record trumps Vance's any fucking day of the week.
NCO isn't considered bad ass but is absolutely given all due respect. You'll salute NCO's just like any other officer, but you know he's less likely to give you shit about uniform reqs. My favorite grey beards were always the Short TImer NCO's that didn't have 2 fucks to rub together about protocol.
Another thing is Tim should whip out his Rack and slap Vance with his silver oak clusters.Vance didn't even get a GWOT! Vance only has a couple participation trophies. Walz has a bonafied 3" rack.

What? You two both are talking like you don't have a clue what you're talking about. Tim Walz was a Command Sergeant Major, which makes him an E9. This is no longer an NCO, this is a SNCO or Senior Non Commissioned Officer. You also don't salute any enlisted members; E1 or E9, it doesn't matter, you don't salute them. Becoming E9 is quite prestigious though as it is the only enlisted rank to get DV status at bases (at least Air Force bases which I can attest to having spent 10 years in the Air Force myself).
Maybe not in the air force but it's totally a thing for secret agent Delta Recon SEAL Raider Green Berets like aodhswhateverthefuck up there. They're so elite, they'll even salute civilians.
Lol, I don't think they ever claimed to be the military. They're both just confidently incorrect. Technically, there is one civilian who regularly gets saluted, the president.
That's a fair point, I was just enjoying the image of the average "I was gonna join but..." doing sloppy dive rolls down supermarket aisles and saluting anything that moved.
