It did not take long for the skeletons to start falling out of the closet of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz after Harris picked him as her VP.
At the top of that list is how Walz retired from the National Guard.
Dems and the media are making it sound as though Walz had no idea his unit was going to be deployed before he retired, but former battalion members are now coming forward to refute that claim.
You Have Your Orders
Typically, when a military unit is going to be deployed, leadership will receive notice long before any formal orders are sent out.
Several members of my family are in the military in both the enlisted ranks and officers.
They explained to me that unit leadership will receive a heads-up so they can start to tailor training to the mission.
It could then be months before the actual orders come through, but this allows them to get ahead of the curve.
In this case, retired Army Command Sergeant Major Doug Julin confirmed that is what happened, and Walz abandoned his unit when it needed him most.
Julin stated, “I’m going to kind of start of back in the fall of 2004, is what we received — my own commander and myself, of the 1st Brigade, 34th Infantry Division Brigade Combat Team, what’s called a notification of sourcing, which is a ‘NOS.’
“We were informed that we would be alerted to go to Iraq within the next upcoming year or time period out there, start preparing your team, get your team together and let’s get the process in play.”
Since then, the battalion commander and chaplain have come forward to criticize Walz for the way he left the service.
To be clear, just because you are in the National Guard does not mean you cannot run for Congress. Congress has numerous members who are active National Guard, and they continued to serve while serving in Congress.
By all accounts, Walz cut and run when he found out he was going to possibly face shots in anger.
And that is why people have a problem with him right now.
