That narrative is going to backfire. Never attack someone's service. Most, if not all veterans will find that repulsive. Trump is making some real bad moves now.

What Walz — and the records — say about his military service as others criticized it \| MPR News There have also been questions raised by critics about two aspects of Walz’s retirement documents. First, his title at retirement, and second, a lack of a signature on his separation record. Walz left the military at the rank of command sergeant major, one of the top for an enlisted soldier. Personnel file records show that he was reduced in rank months after retiring, leaving him as a master sergeant for benefits purposes. “[Walz] held multiple positions within field artillery such as firing battery chief, operations sergeant, first sergeant and culminated his career serving as the command sergeant major for the battalion,” said Lt. Col. Kristen Augé, a public affairs officer with the Minnesota National Guard. “He retired as a master sergeant in 2005 for benefit purposes because he did not complete additional coursework at the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy.” In the separation record for Walz, a signature box says “Soldier not available for signature.” The guard said that’s relatively routine for these documents. “For members of the reserve components, who are not available for signature, using the regulatory statement of ‘not available to sign’ is common,” said Army Col. Ryan Cochran, the Minnesota National Guard’s director of manpower and personnel. “This statement is authorized and directed by both Army Regulations and National Guard Regulations to ensure the timely processing of administrative actions.”
