And don’t forget his own unit castigating him for retiring just before he was to be deployed to Iraq in 2005! Such a coward! Let his unit down and the CSM blasted him for doing so!

This is untrue.

Tim Walz retired from the National Guard to run for federal office-months before his unit was notified of deployment. Active duty or reserves are not personal to seek elected office. .

As you know from your parent's service, military personnel are required to avoid concurrent political service.

Toops vow to protect the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic-as nonpartisans-in undivided obedience (wrong word) to their chain of command.

Politicians take a similar vow with full knowledge that they are partisans.
