Walz's commanding officer confirms that he knew he was going to be deployed when he decided to quit. So no time machine is required for that one. Walz left his men after 20 plus years of training in the National Guard knowing they were about to be deployed to combat. That is simply a fact. He's a coward. Also this clip highlights the media bias. When it becomes clear the speaker is taking issue with CNN"s lies, they suddenly decide he needs to go.
The media bias is how the clip was cropped, leaving out Kamala speaking to reporters and the (vetted from official sources) graphic above. The segment on CNN is 10:27 min; the clip posted by Matt Batzel was 2:45. Doug Julin is the only one I've seen claim his unit was given some form of advance notice in 2004 and a "Warning Order" in February 2005. The verified March 2005 Advance Notice was not even specific to Walz's unit. Julin talks about a meeting in March, then says it was April. Ol' Yeller is still fully behind his Willie Brown helicopter forced landing tale, and this fellow (probably a MAGA supporter) is likewise "conflating" dates and details.
"I was an E9, Master Chief and retired at 30 years. There is absolutely no
requirement for a solder or Sailor to request permissionto retire from his
or her Enlisted supervisor. That is just a courtesy notification. This guy is
just trying to discredit Waltz service. Waltz didn't need permission from this
guy and there are men and women who make choices about when to
retire everyday and the considerations are about what is best for them and
their family. Waltz was completely within his rights to retire when he did."
"This CSM is simply upset that Walz didn't give him the courtesy of informing
him of his retirement. There is no "protocol" of this CSM being involved in
the retirement. That protocol is between the soldier (Walz) and the Adjutant
General of the Minnesota National Guard. I'm sorry CNN, but you just
wasted people's time with this interview. And yes, I am a retired regular
Army soldier."
"This man does not understand it is not his authority to go to him if you
are retiring."
"If he fell under the stop loss, they could have stopped it? They did not.
They approved and processed his retirement."
"The fact that he’s referring to Walz’s retirement as he “quit” tells me this
is personal and he’s got a bone to pick. Absolutely nobody in the military
refers to retirement as quitting."
"Trump has bone spurs, Vance wrote press releases. Describe how that gives
the right of this campaign to put down anyone's military service."
