So not only did he falsely claim he was in a war zone, he turned tail and abandoned his men when they shipped to Iraq.

Tim Walz a ‘coward’ and ‘traitor’ for retiring from military before Iraq, says Guardsman who replaced VP pick

When Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz chose to leave the military on the eve of his deployment to Iraq, Thomas Behrends went in his place.
“I needed to hit the ground running and take care of the troops — and tell them we were going to war,” Behrends said of the 500 soldiers under his command. “For a guy in that position, to quit is cowardice.”
Behrends, a 63-year-old farmer in Brewster, Minn., called the Democratic vice presidential candidate “a traitor” for retiring from their Minnesota National Guard unit just before their deployment to Iraq in 2005.
“When your country calls, you are supposed to run into battle — not the other way,” the retired command sergeant major told The Post Tuesday. “He ran away. It’s sad.
“He had the opportunity to serve his country, and said ‘Screw you’ to the United States. That’s not who I would pick to run for vice president.”

Walz, 60, joined the National Guard after high school and served 24 years in the 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery, rising to the rank of command sergeant major. He retired in 2005 — months after a warning order that the battalion would be deployed to Iraq — to run for Congress. He was elected to office in 2006.
“On May 16th, 2005, [Walz] quit, betraying his country, leaving the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion and its Soldiers hanging without its senior Non-Commissioned Officer, as the battalion prepared for war,” Behrends and fellow retired Guardsman Paul Herr wrote in a letter posted to Facebook during Walz’s first gubernatorial run, in 2018.
The truth hurts, I get it, but suck it up buttercup.Second Hand Hearsay proves nothing. Other members of his unit have come forward debunked your lies already,
You support a 5-Deferment Draft Dodging Coward. Your Swift Boating won't work.
Bone spurs baby LOL, have you ever had them?You Jadrools need to give it a fucking rest until your prepared to talk about T-Rumps military record. Oh, never mind. He has no record. He dodged the draft
Trump never claimed a military record. Your liar does.You Jadrools need to give it a fucking rest until your prepared to talk about T-Rumps military record. Oh, never mind. He has no record. He dodged the draft
Yes, it is, and, yes, they are, and you never served.Until the National Guard and Reserves Are for Veterans Only, They Will Never Be Honorable
Joe's decision, little buddy, not yours. Your in-hand election went blooey, din't it?When the dem voters went along like mindless sheep, to support Ka-blah-blah Harris, after she and other prominent Dems stole the election form Joe, by FORCING to drop out. Yeah, these people are mind numbed sheeple, nothing will sway their vote. Well, except for a 24/7 news media propaganda campaign, to tell the sheeple how they should think and feel.
Ole’ stumblebum was forced to quit.Joe's decision, little buddy, not yours. Your in-hand election went blooey, din't it?![]()
Donald is Bone Spurs, Sage, who ran away.

Did we win that war without Walz? Did it end 12 years ago? Did W lie us into it with his imaginary WMDs?They did not know which month, much less the exact date they would be deployed. He was the top enlisted man in his unit, it damn sure did throw the unit into chaos. The Army had to find a replacement who met all the criteria and experience to promote and train the person. This person would also have to get to know the men under his command and bond with them.
Keep in mind, this is a Army reserves, these people have private lives and jobs that keep them apart, so they seldom ever meet each other. Even if the Army had a qualified replacement on speed dial, and got him to report to the unit the very next day, that is not enough time for him to get to know the unit or the men, much less go thru a crash course to learn how to be a CSM.
He has never claimed to have been in battle. He has admitted that his comment "weapons I have carried in war" was poorly worded, but he did serve in support of the war in Afghanistan. The moment one takes that oath, one is serving. Anyone serving for 24 years in any branch under any circumstances deserves our respect.
Oh look. A whataboutism.You Jadrools need to give it a fucking rest until your prepared to talk about T-Rumps military record.
Doesn't change the fact Waltz lied about being in combat.
Did Trump lie about his service and make false claims? No? I didn't think so.You Jadrools need to give it a fucking rest until your prepared to talk about T-Rumps military record. Oh, never mind. He has no record. He dodged the draft
Actually we haven't won a war in years. Democrats see to it that we don't. Walz #tuckedtailandran so he shouldn't even be in the war conversation.Did we win that war without Walz? Did it end 12 years ago? Did W lie us into it with his imaginary WMDs?
That is a stupid comment.Ole’ stumblebum was forced to quit.
knLowlifes support the guy that was a weekend warrior (girl scouts compared to USMC) - 2 days a month playing pingpong at the base - that deserted upon receiving deployment orders. That's Stolen Valor cowardice of the highest order.
And somewhere in those weekends the tampon enthusiast was hospitalized for... and I'm quoting from the newspaper article.... "over-ingesting horse semen". Supporting something that does unspeakable acts with farm animals says more about them than him....
