Allegations of gross deceptions surfaced against Tim Walz almost as soon as he was tapped for the Democrat ticket alongside Kamala Harris.
The picture of Walz being revealed just grew ever more alarming.
And Tim Walz turned red with rage when a former colleague made this damning confession.
Tim Walz is guilty of being a coward and a terrible leader
Kamala Harris’ running mate, Democrat Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, is embroiled in a growing scandal about his service in the Army National Guard.
He has been called out by accusations he committed stolen valor by lying about being in combat.
Walz told a crowd while pushing gun control that he served in war when he never deployed to a combat zone.
“We can make sure that those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at,” Walz said in 2018.
The Kamala-Walz campaign issued a statement that claimed he “misspoke.”
He also lied when he falsely claimed for more than a decade that he was a retired Command Sergeant Major when he was a Master Sergeant.
But the most egregious offense was that Walz was abandoning the soldiers he commanded before they deployed to Iraq in 2006.
He received advanced notice in 2005 that his unit was going to be deployed but he turned in his retirement papers rather than going with his men so he could run for Congress in the 2006 Election.
Retired Captain Corey Bjertness – a chaplain who served in Walz’s Army National Guard regiment – told the New York Post that running for Congress wasn’t an excuse not to deploy with his men.
“In our world, to drop out after a WARNORD [warning order] is issued is cowardly, especially for a senior enlisted guy,” Bjertness said.
Tim Walz lied about being willing to deploy
A press release from Walz’s campaign in 2005 stated that he was willing to deploy with his unit.
“As Command Sergeant Major I have a responsibility not only to ready my battalion for Iraq, but also to serve if called on. I am dedicated to serving my country to the best of my ability, whether that is in Washington DC or in Iraq,” Walz said at the time.
But he quietly put in his retirement papers and left his unit scrambling with the sudden loss of a senior noncommissioned officer.
Walz was able to put his full attention on his campaign for Congress, where he leaned heavily on his military service.
“Running for Congress is not an excuse,” Bjertness said. “I stopped everything and went to war. I left my wife with three teenagers and a 6-year-old and was gone for 19 months.”
Retired Command Sergeant Major Thomas Behrends had to take Walz’s place after he retired shortly before the deployment.
“I needed to hit the ground running and take care of the troops — and tell them we were going to war,” Behrends said. “For a guy in that position, to quit is cowardice.”
Behrends said abandoning his unit as they were about to deploy made Walz a “traitor.”
“When your country calls, you are supposed to run into battle — not the other way,” Behrends said. “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.”
When the chaplain who served Walz’s regiment in the National Guard is willing to publicly call him out for lack of character, it speaks volumes.
