Tim Walz actually said...

"I support this bill but understand the reservations concerning moving the envelope on what type of service accords veteran status."

"This piece of legislation does not add any benefits, it scored at a zero cost, but I would argue that not doing so the cost to our Nation is to not honor that service the way we should."

"I think you have the best interest of our veterans in mind, nonetheless I have concerns that its provisions may be duplicative or run counter to the law on testing certification and training."

"I think this is a worthwhile bill, it is on track from a policy perspective, and I look forward to advancing this to the full Committee."
