Veteran exposes claims over Gov. Walz's military record
Ret. Command Sgt. Maj. Thomas Behrends discusses claims against the vice presidential candidate's military record on 'The Ingraham Angle.'

A veteran who served with Kamala Harris running mate Gov. Tim Walz accused him of embellishing his time in the service and abandoning his unit just before they deployed.

In an interview Wednesday on "The Ingraham Angle," Ret. Command Sgt. Maj. Thomas Behrends, who said he was a member of Walz's battalion, scolded the Minnesota governor for misleading the American public about his military career.

His service concluded when he retired from his unit in the Minnesota National Guard right before they deployed to Iraq in 2005, the New York Post reported. The Minnesota National Guard told Fox News Walz's unit was not given deployment orders to Iraq until July and he had put his retirement papers in five to seven  months prior to his retirement in that May 2005.

Asked about Trump running mate Sen. JD Vance's accusation that Walz is guilty of "stolen valor," the National Guard veteran told Fox News host Laura Ingraham that it's "far darker than a lot of people think."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I watched this interview last night.  I don't know why Dems thing Stolen Valor is no big deal, but I think Veterans are really pissed off to learn this tidbit.  This is perhaps a stunning failure of Democrats reading a room. 

In a more sensible time, he would have been kicked off the ticket...Thomas Eagleton was tossed for a lot less than this.
