One thing the article fails to note is that Walz as Minnesota Governor is in charge of the Minnesota National Guard (MNG). The highest ranking officer in the MNG is the Adjutant General appointed by the Governor and serves at the pleasure of the Governor. Therefore the MNG is not going to piss off the Governor.

Waltz is still lying about his rank

It’s unlikey that Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee to the vice presidency, knew that his unit would receive mobilization orders not long after he retired in 2005, sources with the Minnesota National Guard told the Herald

Bull.His commanding officer said they knew 5 months before that they were going to be deployed and he told him so. It is just that the official orders didn't come down until after he retired

Total BS I believe his commanding officer and others stated that he knew.

The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

He cuts and runs when things get a little tough.

He won’t accept responsibility for his actions and throws people under the bus to cover his cowardice.

The media is trying so hard to backup up the lies of Super Harris and the Waltzing folksy mid westerner.

E9 s have their own comms channels and he would have known that the deployment was planned before his CO knew it.

So all those other NCOs are lying? I’m sure they’ll be happy to hear that. So they pry knew they were mobilizing months before but never told Walz? What’s the reasoning for that?

Yeah. They come up with a half-baked cover story, knowing that their media allies will go with it and not poke holes in it.

I agree, and I'll go farther to say that he probably knew they would deploy at least a year in advance.

The reason I say that is because that's what happens at the refueling squadron I worked for. Those folks know at least a year in advance what unit is deploying and how many are going. So I say Walz is flat out lying, and is anyone else who says otherwise.

This is more BS propaganda from the leftist media. I’m not reading it but would say that unless the Herald named the sources, it means nothing. That is a favorite trick of the leftist media. People actually involved at the time have come out on record, by name, to say Walz knew.

Thought the Herald was an actual newspaper. They fail to mention months in advance of formal orders announcement that they know deployment is going to take place. The orders are the very last thing given this is such fraudulent spin luckily his commander directly disputed this and he was actually there.

And I’m sure that is typical of all such deployments.

The Left sure has a robust cover their ass mob.

Sounds like the “19 year old cooks” of the MNG are riding to the aide of their scumbag governor. More misinformation.
