Through all this noise you still have vice presidential nominees who raised their hand and said that if I am called to give my life for this country, I will do it, said Rye Barcott.
Vance writes in his memoir Hillbilly Elegy of how the Marine Corps taught him adulthood. The day I graduated from boot camp was the proudest of my life.
Walz is also a positive military role model from central casting: The high school teacher and coach, juggling his family and job with serving in his state National Guard.
Neither Vance nor Walz saw combat, which is much more the norm than many civilians realize. Both grew doubtful of the Iraq war.
