In the coming days and weeks, you will hear a lot about Tim Walz. You’ll hear about his leadership, you’ll hear about his time in office, and you’ll hear about his military service.
But here’s the truth you won’t hear from the mainstream media: Tim Walz abandoned his men before a combat deployment and he abandoned his city when it was literally on fire.
That’s the kind of leader Tim Walz truly is.
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 Iraq—though he assured his troops he would join them.
Walz would have been the Battalion Command Sergeant Major, the highest-ranking non-commissioned officer and arguably the most important leader in his unit. And in the moment they needed him most, when they were about to deploy to Iraq, Walz chose to abandon his men to run for Congress. According to sources within the unit, three of his soldiers died on that deployment.
This isn’t a leader. This is a man who uses others to further his own ambitions, then discards them when they become inconvenient. He abandoned his men and left the military before completing the school necessary to become a Command Sergeant Major—though this hasn’t stopped him from using the title on the Minnesota government site in his bio.
To me as a combat veteran, this kind of abdication of leadership is unforgivable. It’s the true measure of the man, and all I need to know about him.
Not only is he a traitor and a coward, he’s not fit to be a leader. Ironically, one has to question Kamala’s choice of VP and her leadership capabilities also.
Delusions of Adequacy 
Yeah, that kinda crap bunches him up with the likes of Kerry and Blumenthal . . . faux heroes.
I did 24 years Navy, all non-combatant duty, but I sure spent a lotta time in the Gulf of Tonkin and in or around Phu Quoc and Da Nang, often getting shot at by people I’d never shot anything at . . . except post-facto expletives.
All politicians lie . . . it’s in their PDs to do so, and most people inflate their resumes — but there just some topics you gotta be straight about, and military service, military rank, and combat experience are chief among ’em.
Strangely, I was electronics officer on the same ship Kerry was on before he went glory hunting. Didn’t sense any particular residual aura from his presence. And Blumenthal . . . just a mealy-mouthed liar — don’t believe ANYthing either one of ’em says.
Walz, who was a total unknown to me until he began promoting disfigurement of children and praising George Floydites, lumps him with said assholes, so I’ll either refuse to hear or ignore to the best of my ability whatever he says.
Another alligator-mouthed candy-assed politician.
