Retired National Guard member alleges Walz left his unit in CNN interview: 'He went around me'


Tim Walz’s former military superior made claims that called into question the Minnesota governor’s conduct in the U.S. National Guard during a CNN interview.

During his interview with CNN, former Minnesota National Guard Command Sgt. Maj. Doug Julin appeared to bolster criticism that Walz abandoned the unit with his account of the former Guardsman going around him to leave the National Guard before his team went to Iraq.

He relayed to CNN anchor Laura Coates that Walz and the whole unit – "including my boss, commander, and the command team" – had multiple meetings to discuss deployment months before Walz sought retirement.


According to the former sergeant major, Walz was at each of these meetings. Julin also asserted that in the lead up to deployment Walz assured him that he was going to join the battalion in Iraq.

However, he told Coates that in June 2005, he found out that Walz had quit without telling him, having gotten permission to retire from a higher-level officer - a break in protocol, according to Julin.

"Tim Walz knew the process and procedures, he went around me and above and beyond me… basically went in there to get somebody to back him… it was just a backdoor process," he told Coates.


Walz’s 24-year National Guard career has been heavily scrutinized since Vice President Harris announced him as her running mate. Critics have accused Walz of abandoning his unit just before it went to Iraq.

In a statement recently given to Fox News, the Minnesota National Guard said that Walz's unit was not given deployment orders to Iraq until July, and he had put his retirement papers in five to seven months prior to his retirement in May 2005.....
=========================================
Walz went around his boss to retire. His boss says they ALL knew the units was being deployed to Iraq before Walz put in his papers. Walz must have been pretty scared because he had knew he would be busted back to Master Sargent before he was retired. Walz's boss does not think Walz acted honorably.

He did not act honorably...He's not acting honorably now...He and Kam do make the perfect phony team...to work a carnival , but not to lead the country...

Perhaps a snake oil company is in their future...or one that sells Menstrual products...maybe a dance studio...;) Voters are smarter than anyone gives them credit for...
Obama should have her platform done by the end of this week...it should be interesting...

Indeed, TOP.

The fact remains there there are multiple videos showing that Tampon Tim lied about “carrying a weapon in war” and about his rank.

He is a valor thief.

The fact remains, he said “one man’s Socialism is another man’s neighborliness”, and he allowed Minneapolis to burn while his wife opened her windows to smell the odor of burning tires longer and Heels Up Harris started a fund to bail out the anarchists and arsonists so that they could riot and burn more,

These far left Democratic Socialist loons are radicals and fanatics.

The fact also remains that some, not all, are still denying the facts around this valor thief.

Fortunately, the Republicans will be showing these videos and emails to Americans who care about these issues.

TOP, the USA women’s basketball team nearly gave me multiple heat attacks yesterday.

Way too many turnovers and missed layups.

Next Olympics, hopefully, Caitlin Clark will be running the point.
