Tim Walz was never deployed to a combat zone, only Italy and Norway for a few months.
I saw someone trying to make it appear Tim Walz deployed myltiple times overseas. I had to look this up, he was only gone for a few months and it was to Italy and Norway. He was nowhere near a combat zone.
Only time he fame close to deploying was when he accepted his CSM rank, and shortly after his unit was selected to deploy overseas, and he very rapidly retired, which is unheard of for non-medical reasons for a CSM to do. He wasn't slated to be deployed as a Field Artillery battalion, but basic infantry riding around in Humvees, and he himself would of had access to a hand puck platoon sized body guard unit to ride around in and complete missions. The excuse to pursue politics makes no sense, because wvery units as a read detachment (Rear D) that needs a acting CSM and if he was feeling the need to stay behind he could of performed that role instead and never accepted the CSM promotion.
CSMs don't do alot of physical work. They are valued as trainers, and for handling promotions and demotions and unit morale. He was very much needed in those few months between getting the initial announcement of deployment and deploying to retrain his men for infantry training, so that they would be less likely to die. Instead he very selfishly chose to retire to "enter politics".
Italy and Norway doesn't count. Legally, he is ineligible for Veterans Affairs Benefits because he never saw combat, and was never in a warzone, DESPITE EVERYONE ELSE IN HIS DESPERATE UNIT DEPLOYING! They all have access to the VA, his battalion served the longest of any American unit in Iraq. He did not. He became a politician instead, while they were dying.
Even the worst person in his unit deployed, lets say a hypothetical paficist who gave up his weapon the first time he heard a gun fired in Iraq, did more than he did if they ever filled a sandback, carried boxes of MREs to humvees, dug a trench or pulled radio guard duty. They at least went there and shared the risks of dying in a warzone. Merely sitting on the toilet was dangerous.
Second Tim heard he was going to Iraq, he retired. Command in Chief material?
