'Stolen Valor': Walz Under Fire For Bailing On Iraq Tour, Then Lying About Combat Deployment
• Zero HedgeKamala Harris' VP pick Tim Walz has come under fire over his extreme left-wing policies, from joking about helping illegal immigrants into the country by investing in a 'ladder company,' to signing a law that gives them driver's licenses, to delaying the deployment of the National Guard during the Georger Floyd riots.
And while there's much more to discuss, Walz has come under the most intense scrutiny for embellishing his military record, when in reality he bailed on his National Guard battalion - instead running off to Congress after learning that he would be deployed to Iraq.
"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," wrote retired Command Sergeants Major Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr in a 2018 letter posted to Facebook.
