JD Vance (R-Ohio) over his attacks on Gov. Tim Walz\u2019s (D-Minn.) military service record on Sunday, given questions surrounding former President Trump\u2019s history of avoiding the Vietnam War draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vance and other Republicans have repeatedly questioned Walz\u2019s service in the National Guard, falsely claiming that he decided to retire in 2005 after 24 years of service to avoid a deployment to Iraq. Walz retired in order to run for Congress that year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bash pushed back on those attacks, calling into question Trump\u2019s lack of military service. He received a series of medical deferments to avoid the Vietnam draft, deferments that have since come under scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDonald Trump didn\u2019t serve in the military. He received a medical draft deferment for bone spurs to avoid serving in the Vietnam War, reportedly as a favor to his father,\u201d she asked Vance. \u201cDo you find that shameful, too?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think that Donald Trump didn\u2019t serve in the military, but he didn\u2019t lie about it,\u201d Vance said. \u201cDana, I\u2019ve known Donald Trump for a long time. You don\u2019t think he honors or you think he had been for my service?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDonald Trump didn\u2019t lie about serving in the military,\u201d he continued. \u201cHe didn\u2019t say that he went to Vietnam when he didn\u2019t. This is the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t criticize anybody whether they served our country or not. I think it\u2019s honorable to serve,\u201d he added. \u201cBut obviously a lot of people have reasons for not serving. I criticize somebody for embellishing their record for lying, saying, I went to war. Did it. Do you think that it\u2019s a problem that he said, I went to war, but he didn\u2019t? Actually, that seems to be a problem to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walz was deployed to Italy to support U.S. troops in Iraq in 2003, though was never deployed to a combat zone himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vance also served in the military, being deployed to Iraq as a Public Affairs officer in the Marine Corps as part of four years of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The attacks on Walz have been compared to \u201cSwift Boat,\u201d the 2004 scandal of attacks on then-Sen. John Kerry\u2019s (D-Mass) military record during his own presidential campaign, which were also misleading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Harris campaign has previously denounced the attacks on Walz\u2019s service record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter 24 years of military service, Governor Walz retired in 2005 and ran for Congress, where he chaired Veterans Affairs and was a tireless advocate for our men and women in uniform \u2014 and as Vice President of the United States he will continue to be a relentless champion for our veterans and military families,\u201d the campaign told The Associated Press last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN\u2019s Dana Bash pressed Sen.
