Original Note:
Walz filed to run for Congress 5 months before his unit even received notice of a deployment & was fully retired 2 months before. Walz did not "abandon" his unit, as the subject claims, nor was he ever "expected to lead them into combat," as the author claims. https://www.fox9.com/news/timeline-walzs-national-guard-retirement-revealed https://taskandpurpose.com/news/swift-boat-walz/ https://www.startribune.com/fact-check-walz-retired-from-army-national-guard-after-24-years-to-run-for-congress/600962516
