Hello everyone! Let’s dive into a story that’s stirring up some serious controversy in the political arena. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is facing accusations from his former superior in the National Guard, and the claims are nothing short of explosive. According to Doug Julin, a senior command sergeant who oversaw Walz in the 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery, Walz allegedly went behind his back to avoid deploying to Iraq back in 2005.
Here’s what’s being reported. In the fall of 2004, Julin and his commander received word that their unit would be deploying to Iraq within the next year. Naturally, they informed everyone under their command, including Sergeant Major Walz, to prepare for the deployment. But here’s where things get murky. In February 2005, during a meeting at Camp Ripley, Walz approached Julin and mentioned that he was considering a run for Congress. While he hadn’t been officially nominated yet, he wanted to give Julin a heads-up about his potential plans.
Fast forward to the following month, and Walz assured Julin that since he hadn’t been nominated, he was still committed to deploying with the battalion. Everything seemed in order—until it wasn’t. By June, Julin was blindsided when he learned from another National Guard member that Walz had suddenly quit. The shocking part? Walz didn’t go through Julin to get approval. Instead, he reportedly went two levels higher in the chain of command to get permission to retire.
Julin didn’t mince words when he spoke to CNN about the incident. He emphasized that Walz, as a high-ranking individual, knew exactly how the process worked and deliberately bypassed the proper channels. Julin believes that Walz went behind his back because he knew Julin would have said no, given that they had already been notified about the deployment.
WOW – Tim Walz Is FINISHED!

This revelation has sparked outrage, with Julin accusing Walz of violating the chain of command and engaging in what he describes as a “cowardly” move to avoid serving in Iraq. He’s adamant that Walz was well aware of the upcoming deployment and knowingly chose to sidestep his responsibilities.
Julin’s statements have brought renewed scrutiny to Walz’s military service record, particularly his actions during a critical time when his unit was preparing for a dangerous deployment. The fact that Walz allegedly went to a higher authority to retire without confronting Julin raises serious questions about his character and commitment. The shocking part is that Julin isn’t the only one confirming these cowardly actions.
His former command crushed him. Here’s a talk from leadership:

As this story unfolds, it’s sure to add fuel to the political fire. Walz, who is now a prominent political figure, may have to answer some tough questions about his past decisions and whether he truly upheld the values of service and duty during his time in the National Guard. Stay tuned because this story is far from over!
NEW: Tim Walz’s battalion commander John Kolb shreds him on FB, says “when the demands of service & leadership got real… [Walz] chose another path.”
Kolb tagged Thomas Behrends who previously spoke out against Walz during an interview with @AlphaNewsMN.
