By most measures, the new Democratic ticket has had an impressively smooth launch.But there is one caveat to that — controversy over how Tim Walz has described his military service.In a video from 2018, Walz, who served for 24 years in the National Guard, made a comment that sounded like he had been TO war. A spokeswoman for the Harris-Walz campaign has said in a statement that the Democratic vice-presidential nominee "misspoke" when talking about his military service. Walz's Republican opponent, JD Vance, pounced on that comment to accuse Walz of "stolen valor" – just about the mosst serious charge possible in veterans' circles.
