Original Note:
So many errors. It says Walz left Nat Guard "two months before it deployed." Reality: Retires 5/2005 (had to apply earlier) Unit gets Iraq notice 8/2005. Goes to Iraq 3/2006 Even the original attack conceded Walz retired "a YEAR before his battalion was deployed to Iraq." https://apnews.com/article/walz-national-guard-military-ae43d684bf1319e535f9f620552155d7 https://www.wctrib.com/community/letters/the-truth-about-tim-walz
