0:58Now PlayingSpeaking to a group of veterans in Pennsylvania, Sen. JD Vance opened up about his journey from a “troubled kid” to a US Marine – and excoriated Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for his flagrant “dishonesty” about his military history.
“I was so fortunate to have the Marine Corps play a transformative role on my entire life. I was, in a lot of ways, a troubled kid, a directionless kid. And the Marine Corps really changed who I was,” Vance (R-Ohio) recalled about his service.
The Buckeye State Republican took aim at veterans issues, weighing in on the wait time snarls plaguing Veteran Affairs – where he himself has received healthcare.
“We’ve got to get back to a presidency that is always faithful to the service veterans,” he said. “We’ve got to get back to the presidency of Donald J. Trump. He did already – He’s going to do it again if we get another opportunity.”
During his speech, Vance paused for a moment of silence to honor the 13 American service members who were killed during the 2021 Kabul airport bombing, amid the fast-approaching three-year anniversary.
