Kamala took her Veep pick, doubling down on her committment to leftism. But even the things that were meant to appeal to everyday Americans aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.
His veteran status, for instance. Less than a day after it was announced, the internet was alive with criticisms of just how ‘heroic’ he really is.
While ‘TamponTim’ was trending because of his tampons-in-boy’s-bathrooms policy, and the internet was awash with examples of how Walz was every bit the leftist that Kamala and The Squad are, people familiar with Walz’s military record had something to share:
Tim Walz was a battalion Command Sergeant Major (“CSM”) in a Minnesota National Guard battalion when his unit got the order to deploy to Iraq. Upon receiving such order, he abruptly retired and abandoned his unit, his soldiers and his country. For those who don’t know, in an Army battalion, the CSM is the highest-ranking NCO and the top dog who sets the example for all the soldiers in the unit. The example Walz set was one of cowardice in the face of the enemy. In an era where pretty much everyone in uniform served in combat, Walz ran and hid. Contrast this with JD Vance, who–when 9/11 happened–ran to his nearest enlistment office. — Twitter
Joe Concha contrasted the media reaction to both Veep picks:
Funny how Tim Walz’s national guard service is being hailed like he’s the next Eisenhower, but JD Vance’s service as a U.S. Marine is completely ignored.
Since you’ll be asked for ‘receipts’ from your lefty relatives and neighbors when you bring this up, let’s go to Newsweak. Sorry, ‘Newsweek‘.
You’re already no doubt hearing about how Walz spent 24 years in the Army National Guard and retired as a command sergeant major. He is fond of referring to himself as the highest-ranking enlisted soldier to serve in Congress.
Here’s the truth: He indeed spent 24 years as an enlisted soldier in the Minnesota National Guard. As far as I can tell, he deployed once to Italy and once to Norway. But when it was finally his turn to deploy in the actual Global War on Terror, Walz instead chose his own aspirations over leadership. In a letter posted to Facebook in 2018, veterans from his unit said Walz retired from the National Guard after learning his battalion would be deployed to Iraq—though he assured his troops he would join them.
Walz would have been the Battalion Command Sergeant Major, the highest-ranking non-commissioned officer and arguably the most important leader in his unit. And in the moment they needed him most, when they were about to deploy to Iraq, Walz chose to abandon his men to run for Congress. According to sources within the unit, three of his soldiers died on that deployment.
This isn’t a leader. This is a man who uses others to further his own ambitions, then discards them when they become inconvenient. He abandoned his men and left the military before completing the school necessary to become a Command Sergeant Major—though this hasn’t stopped him from using the title on the Minnesota government site in his bio.
Kamala has been on record as being the ‘last one in the room’, in important decisions. That includes the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Back before that turned into a replay of the fall of Saigon, she was happy to boast she was the ‘last one in the room’ when he made that decision.
Kamala was the perfect pick for the one guy who gave the Bin Laden raid a thumbs-down. And Walz is the perfect pick for Biden’s successor.
Ever since Obama Fundamentally Transformed his party, leading from behind seems to be their brand.
