And Vance answered to call to go to a war zone while Walz ran from the call and let his men go in his place.

Congressional Democrats who served in the military came to the defense Thursday of vice presidential candidate Tim Walz after Republican VP nominee JD Vance accused him of “stolen valor.”
Vance, a Marine veteran, referenced years-old and long-disputed criticisms of Walz, who served in the National Guard for 24 years, by some soldiers who served alongside him that the then 41-year-old left the service months before their battalion was sent to Iraq.
Walz filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission as a candidate for Congress in February 2005 and, according to the Minnesota National Guard, retired that May as a master sergeant. His unit received its deployment orders in July 2005, trained through the fall and deployed the following March, according to a 2007 article on the National Guard’s website.
In a press call hosted by the Democratic National Committee, Reps. Jason Crow, D-Colo., and Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass., excoriated Vance for calling Walz’s military service into question. Crow is an Army veteran, and Auchincloss served in the Marines.
“To try to do one of the worst things you can do in America — that is to attack a veteran and their service — it's old, it's tired, and America is just not going to put up with it,” Crow said. “And we're not going to put up with it.”
The subject of the press call was to highlight the progress made in the two years since President Joe Biden signed the PACT Act, which expanded health benefits to veterans exposed to toxic substances while serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo. But the Vance-Walz controversy received just as much attention, if not more.
Auchincloss said the Trump campaign’s attacks on Walz are intended to distract from former President Donald Trump’s “long track record of disparaging veterans.”
“He called those who gave the last full measure of devotion ‘losers’ and ‘suckers’ and he can try to deny it as much as he wants, but a four-star general and his own staffer heard him say it and has confirmed it on the record repeatedly,” Auchincloss said, referring to former Trump White House Chief of Staff John Kelly.

Tampon Tim signed a contract to serve 6 years in order to train for Command Sargent Major. He only served 4 years of that contract. So the military busted him back in rank. When he was asked to use those YEARS of very expensive training he cut and ran.

The chaplain of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s field artillery regiment said there is no excuse for the Democratic VP pick to have abandoned his National Guard unit before a critical deployment — not even running for Congress.
“In our world, to drop out after a WARNORD [warning order] is issued is cowardly, especially for a senior enlisted guy,” retired Capt. Corey Bjertness, now a pastor in Horace, North Dakota, told The Post.
Bjertness, 61, was the chaplain for the 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery, of which Walz was command sergeant major before retiring in 2005, two months before the unit deployed to Iraq. Walz has said he did so to run for Congress, and he was elected the next year.
“Running for Congress is not an excuse,” Bjertness said of Walz’s decision to quit. “I stopped everything and went to war. I left my wife with three teenagers and a 6-year-old and I was gone for 19 months.”

Of course not. Facts are never found on Fox, The Daily Stormer, and Infowars. Try to broaden your media horizons, Twatmuffin. lol
Man who served under Walz says governor retired before unit had deployment news
"A man who served under Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) in the Army National Guard is backing the vice presidential nominee’s service record, asserting Walz decided to retire before his unit got deployment orders, not after."... (note correct usage of ellipses)
"
Others who served with Walz have said similar things.
Joe Eustice, who served with Walz for years, told The Washington Post he disagreed with the governor’s politics, but Walz did not avoid combat duty and was a good soldier. At the time Walz left the unit, Eustice told the Post there had only been speculation the unit could be deployed."
