You're already no doubt hearing about how Walz spent 24 years in the Army National Guard and retired as a command sergeant major. He is fond of referring to himself as the highest-ranking enlisted soldier to serve in Congress.

Here's the truth: He indeed spent 24 years as an enlisted soldier in the Minnesota National Guard. As far as I can tell, he deployed once to Italy and once to Norway. But when it was finally his turn to deploy in the actual Global War on Terror, Walz instead chose his own aspirations over leadership. In a letter posted to Facebook in 2018, veterans from his unit said Walz retired from the National Guard after learning his battalion would be deployed to Iraqโ€”though he assured his troops he would join them.

From another article: “He weighed that decision to run for Congress very heavy. He loved the military, he loved the Guard, he loved the soldiers he worked with.”

As the senior enlisted man in the unit you don’t leave your unit when they’re scheduled to deploy. As part of accepting the rank of Command Sergeant Major I believe there was a 3 year commitment to stay in the guard. IMHO he failed the men of his unit.

Not sure of the rules of any upcoming VP debate yet, but Vance needs to bring those guys to sit up front and center to gaze at Timmy, as he becomes indignant and inevitably lies about it.

What did the Soldiers in the unit think when their Sergeant Major abandoned them?

He doesnโ€™t even deserve to call himself a Soldier.

Heโ€™s just another one who wanted the money and the perks and then slipped on out when it might get tough.

Does anyone know what he was doing to make a living at the time?

In 2003, I had a soldier under me that stated he was an only child, and if he got orders to deploy for combat he would get out of it on that condition.

Me? I snapped. I informed this POS that it wouldn’t be him they call to serve, but the uniform. And that he volunteered to wear said uniform. Furthering, “If you don’t want to adhere to your oath, I’ll take you to the commander right now and find another, more dedicated soldier to fill your uniform!”

Amazingly, he slumped sadly looking at the floor.

This is the so called Gov Walz.

I am dumb when it comes to the National Guard.... Was his unit a combat unit?

What I would like to know is how he kept his career after the DUI? It has been over 30 years since I was in the Army but in my day a DUI was the kiss of death for an officer or an NCO. If one was not given an Article 15 and chaptered out of the service one could at least count on never being promoted. How was he able to re-enlist, be made a 1SG and then be made an acting CSM? Must be some National Guard politics involved.

Walz sure has already embarrassed himself with his blatant lies... Of course since he’s a democrat he’s probably not even capable of any shame.

Walz is obviously a worm of the highest order.

Megyn Kelly begins by discussing the truth about Minn. Governor and Dem VP pick Tim Walzโ€™s military record, the reality about him leaving the National Guard, “stolen valor” claims and the facts, how Walz and the left are trying to spin this massive controversy.
