Original Note:
Incorrect: Walz did not "abandon his National Guard Battalion", nor is there any evidence to suggest he retired due to any impending deployment. Walz retired from the National Guard in 2005 after 24 years of service in order to run for Congress. https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2024/08/06/kamala-harris-taps-tim-walz-national-guard-veteran-as-running-mate/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/08/06/tim-walz-national-guard-teacher-governor-timeline/74685342007/
