Walz’s military superior says he ‘subverted the chain of command’ to abandon unit on eve of Iraq war deployment

Tim Walz military service news

In an interview with CNN former Minnesota National Guard Command Sgt. Maj. Doug Julin accused Minnesota Governor Tim Walz of circumventing military protocol to retire before his battalion’s deployment to Iraq in 2005.

Julin claimed that Walz, who had attended meetings about the deployment, assured him he would join the unit in Iraq but later retired without informing his chain of command. The allegation has surfaced amid scrutiny of Walz’s 24-year National Guard career following his selection as Vice President Harris’s running mate, with critics accusing him of abandoning his unit.

“Tim Walz knew the process and procedures, he went around me and above and beyond me… basically went in there to get somebody to back him… it was just a backdoor process,” said Julin.

Walz’s claim he had tendered his retirement prior to having knowledge of an Iraq deployment was also disputed by Julin. He said Walz and the whole unit – “including my boss, commander, and the command team” – had multiple meetings to discuss deployment months before Walz sought retirement.

The interview, which was abruptly ended by CNN anchor Laura Coates due to “technical issues”, sparked controversy after billionaire Bill Ackman accused the network of bias. Ackman suggested that Coates ended the interview prematurely to avoid airing Julin’s damaging claims against Walz. The Harris campaign responded by sharing a statement from another former National Guard member who defended Walz’s service, calling the accusations against him “unfounded.”

  1. Was Walz threatened with harassment and / or a Court Martial prior to the deployment to Iraq?
    Was there no ‘Stop-List’ of was his application to retire already approved?
    I know several people in the U.S. who retired before Iraq and Afghanistan popped-off, and they were not recalled or stop-listed.
    Many Reservist and National / Air Guardsmen who were harassed, never promoted, not allowed any chance for upward mobility and given only average performance reports were probably threatened with getting separated via some type of disciplinary means, as there were plans to scale back the forces post-war.
    THAT is how the Masonic Members of the U.S. Armed Forces operate and behave towards those who are NOT in the Masonic Lodge!
    Freemason and author, Manly P. Hall was said to be ‘The Great Masonic Restrainer’, as he held the Lodges to a standard that was non-ambitious and abided by a Code of Ethics.
    When Hall dies, all bets were off, and the Freemasons went about getting rid of those they didn’t like, both in the military and the private sector.
    That is why a strange change occurred in 1990 / 1991 in Western Society.
    From there, everything went downhill…except for the ambitious and arrogant Mah Hah Boners who exploited those non-Masons for everything they could, in personnel staffing, higher job opportunities, and denied them any chance of upward mobility.
    That is why the West has a gig-economy, high inflation, and usuary via the Central J3wi$h / Talmudic / Masonic Banking System.

  2. Not a good look when his fellow soldiers are putting the boot into him. There’s a video of him saying in a public meeting he carried guns into war, but he was never in a war or combat zone.

    • With all these airheads across the whole political spectrum of the US one starts to wonder if in fact elections are manipulated and rigged at all levels state and federal and not just presidential?

      • Of course the (s)elections are rigged!
        Just look at Florida Governor’s DeSantis’s and both the State and Federal Senators and Representatives who have had their campaigns paid for by J3wi$h money.
        AIPAC recently dumped several million dollars into one campaign that saw a politician relieved of their position in New England. That politician spoke out against Israel, and the money plus vote fraud went a long way in order to get a pro-Zionist Israeli supporter ‘(s)elected’.

  3. In the long run this is irrelevant, however what is not Irrelevant is that he allowed riots in his state to continue, he made his state a kid friendly trans state and he has allowed Illegals to obtain a drivers license which when renewed automatically registers them to vote. he lied about his military service which is a shitty thing to do but of all the things he should be reprimanded for that is the least important so far.

    • So being a Walter Mitty and liar is the “least important so far” in a person standing for an office where conceivably he could be in charge of the second largest nuclear arsenal in the world? Right, I get it.
