Simply for reference: this guy could serve 8 years as Vice President, run in 2032, win, serve 8 years as President, leave office in 2041 — and still be younger than Donald Trump is today. Age all of a sudden matters? You are the biggest phoney/hypocrite that I have come across.

It's only damning if one is ignorant of how long it takes to retire from the military, and completely ignore the fact that he retired before anyone had indicated his unit was headed to Iraq. Read your own damn article. Well first of all, it isn't my "own damn article" but rather "the damn article I posted" as I did not write it. And I know reading comprehension suffers when one is mostly concerned with spelling, punctuation and the like, but I did say the "Interview on CNN". Which I did watch in it's entirety last night. Here is the full interview which I could not find previously so I posted a Newsweek article. If you desire to become less ignorant about the subject I suggest you watch it. Pay close attention around 2:30, 3:30, and especially 4:24. Oh, I saw the CNN interview and I also read The Washington Post article that broke the story. I also heard this: "[Walz] did something wrong in service," Julin told Coates. "He knew the policies and procedures and how we go to leadership and address issues ... He went around me when he should have addressed it with me."
"There's a possibility he realized I would have said, 'no, it's too late, you're going forward,'" he added. "He knew he was going forward. Had he gotten his orders yet? No, at that time he had not."Sergeant Major is upset he got backdoored. I'd probably be upset too. Incidentally, the war had been going on for two years by that point.

The same guy was making the same criticism when Walz ran for Governor and Walz won then. The guy doesn't like Walz, that much is clear. Does anyone know how long the paperwork process takes to retire? the only timeline I know for certain is: In February 2005 Walz filed to run for Congress. In March 2005 his unit was notified they may be called up within two years. On May 16, 2005, Walz left the National Guard. That is his retirement date. I think June is when his unit was called up officially. Now Walz did make remarks in March that he was still running for Congress even if he got called up. According to other sources and the National Guard Walz had every right to retire when he did. I have not heard any timeline on when he submitted his retirement paperwork. that could be worth knowing. Does anyone who was in the military know the timeline from the submission date to retirement? According to other articles, one I attached at the bottom, he had conversations with fellow soldiers about retiring and running for Congress. I would assume he felt his possibilities of winning were better if he retired due to some not thinking he could serve well if he were overseas. If he got called up in the middle of the campaign, it could mean defeat for his congressional seat. I can't see how anyone can disrespect a man who served 24 years in one of our military services. Vance has already gotten negative feedback bringing up this old issue and I think it may backfire on him if he isn't careful. Even some Republicans have come to Walz's defense about his service. I don't think this is the hill Vance wants to live or die on. I think he would be better served focusing on the issues. As Senator Kelly tweeted on X “Tim Walz spent DECADES in uniform. You both deserve to be thanked for your service. Don’t become Donald Trump. He calls veterans suckers and losers and that is beneath those of us who have actually served,” Former U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican, wrote on his substack: “Tim Walz joined the Army Guard and served honorably for 24 years, achieving the highest enlisted rank offered. That is quite an accomplishment. The nation should be proud, and JD Vance should be respectful of his fellow warrior,” www.startribune.com/fact-check-walz-retired-from-army-national-guard-after-24-years-to-run-for-congress/600962516
