It is bull. I am retired reservist, he would have known months in advance that this was coming down.

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.

Total BS

His old CO has already spilled the beans on this - plus, others who were in his unity have also made it clear that they knew the deployment was coming before he pulled his "end-run" (inappropriate as his CO said) path to retirement (aka - broke his re-enlistment promise).

I’ve had NG members as church members and friends - and it is extremely rare for them to not have knowledge of planned deployments well before the “official” announcement. They just are not allowed to talk about it until the announcement is released by command.

The ARFORGEN cycle dictated which units were ready to deploy, and the army has lists of which units are at the top to go next. Even the mafia knows when they’re likely to go. Deployments are rarely a surprise.

Hell, we lost several guys in my cav unit to another one deploying, and they were starting to recruit for it a year before they were officially going

Its unlikely the Boston Herold even knows where the NG base is in Minneapolis let alone where MN is on the map.
