Tim Walz Left National Guard Battalion ‘Hanging,’ ‘Slithered Out the Door’ Before Iraq Deployment: Vets

New York Post

Veterans have accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz of “embellishing” his military career and abandoning his National Guard battalion, highlighting that the now-vice presidential pick for the Democrats never served in combat and retired from service ahead of his unit’s 2005 deployment to Iraq.
