Original Note:
Tim Walz did not flee any combat zone, or send someone else to replace him. He filed to run for Congress about 5 months BEFORE his Minnesota National Guard was called to mobilise. Enlisted military members cannot campaign or hold elected office, so he had to retire. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/07/vance-walz-military-stolen-valor-garbage-00173172 https://www.nationalguard.mil/News/Article/573070/guard-unit-recognized-for-record-deployment/
