Complete non-sequitur. The timing of Walz's retirement had exactly zero to do with this woman's son being killed. Implying that there might be some connection reeks of the usual mindless, baseless personal attack that is the demoncrats' stock in trade.
Walz didn't do it all by himself. He didn't just say, "I quit" and walk away. He had to submit a resignation and wait for it to be approved. If you're going to castigate Walz for the timing, in fairness you also should draw and quarter every swinging Richard at MilPerCen who signed off on it.
A lot of people disagree with you, as John Kerry discovered.
You are missing the point. He is being accused of embellishing his military record..
