Chicken-Fried Walz

Tim Walz National Guard commander rips him a new one, calling him a 'coward' over his resignation from the military just before he was to deploy.
Walz has used his service to better his career. The term chicken hawk is not unwarranted.

Retired Minnesota National Guard Command Sgt. Maj. Thomas Behrends slammed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential candidate on the 2024 ticket, Saturday on "Fox and Friends Weekend” for misleading voters about his military service.
Walz’s claims about his military service and the timing of his 2005 retirement have come under fire since Vice President Kamala Harris announced him as her running mate Tuesday. The Harris-Walz campaign website has since corrected its original language calling Walz a "retired command sergeant major” to saying he "served as a commend sergeant major.”
Behrends ripped into Walz for being an "unforgivable coward” and quitting before his unit was deployed to Iraq.
"I would liken this to a coach coaching a team for 25 years, and then you’re finally in the Super Bowl. And then the Super Bowl is coming, and the coach says, ‘No, I’m out. I’m done.’ What does it say, what message does it send to a unit when a command sergeant major — I mean, command sergeant majors are a big deal. They block the sun. They’re the most important enlisted member of that unit. When a command sergeant major bails on a deployment beforehand, what kind of message does that send?” Fox News co-host Pete Hegseth asked.

I can't be the only person who thinks that before this dance is done, Walz may wish he'd never heard of Kamala Harris.

I suspect you're right Dana. His skeletons are all falling out of his closet now.

Funny how none of Walz's "fellow soldiers" are coming to his defense. If he'd been any good as a leader, they'd be crawling over one another to stand up for him. As it is now, all you hear is crickets. That may change if the Democrat powers-that-be send out orders...

Agreed. No doubt he wasn't any good - just earned the rank of Sargent Major by hanging in there. In the National Guard that long service will get you promoted to the top as an NCO.
