n 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.
But this wasn’t his only failure of leadership. He did the same thing when it came to the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots. After allowing the largest city in his state to be overrun by violent protestors who burned entire districts to the ground, Walz scoffed at the mayor’s request for National Guard support, referring to the Minnesota National Guard as a bunch of “19 year old cooks.”
The Democrats won’t pay any attention to lying or bad military behavior of their chosen leaders, they only pay attention to the polls and the attendance at the rallies. The stuff that Republicans need to be focused on, exclusively, are his SOCIALIST POLICIES — no borders at all (even though Biden’s turnabout and deal with Mexico has made a huge decrease in the illegals); no fracking; no drilling (buy all our fossil-fueled energies from other countries to keep our country ‘green’ — which doesn’t help the planet in the slightest); take all the Medicare and MediCal funding and use it to partially fund government-only health care, along with double or triple income taxes on the middle class (many medical treatments will not be offered or permitted because they are “too expensive”–think hip replacement for example–and not in the authorized government list, especially for seniors); government will decide what appliances you may buy and no more gas-powered cars will be permitted to use the roads; and on and on the Marxist power agenda.
Heard his highest medal was the Army Commendation Medal. Gee, a 19-year-old cook can be awarded that medal.
Have also seen and heard the talk where he said he’s carried a weapon in war.
Funny, in 1996 the Chief of Naval Operations committed suicide because he was found to be wearing the ‘combat V’ on his Bronze Stars, even though he wasn’t in combat at the time. He couldn’t bear the thought of hurting the Navy’s reputation.
Walz has said he was in combat when he wasn’t. Walz has claimed to hold a rank he wasn’t qualified to hold. And it is very, very likely he knew of the upcoming GWOT deployment long before the rest of his unit; senior people always get a heads-up.
This man isn’t worthy of being VP. He should leave the ticket but doubt he will, and doubt Kamala has the guts to ask him to leave.
And I served, over 20 years, have documentation for all medals awarded, claim only the rank held upon retirement.
