My son, 19, was killed in Iraq serving in the military unit Tim Walz 'abandoned': I'll never trust Kamala Harris' VP pick who took the 'coward's way out'

When soldier Kyle Miller was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq on June 29, 2006, the man expected to lead them into combat was not there.

Tim Walz, who would go on to be Kamala Harris' running mate, left his Minnesota National Guard unit two months before it deployed - and some will never trust him again.

That includes Miller's mother who delivered a damning verdict on Walz's character, accusing him of taking the 'coward's way out' and 'running away' by opting to campaign for Congress instead of going to Iraq to face danger with her son.

In an emotional interview with DailyMail.com, nearly two decades after 19-year-old Kyle's death, Kathy Miller said: ‘I don’t think it’s fair that (Walz) takes credit when he didn’t step up to the plate.

'Walz claims a rank he never earned. When he was called to serve, and protect our country he didn’t.

'To publicly present false prestige of his unearned rank an inaccurate representation, is a falsehood of who he truly is.

'My son stepped up to the plate. All our sons stepped up.

'My son wasn’t even 21 years old. He couldn’t even buy alcohol. Yet he took the step to serve our country while Walz found the best way to run away.'

I just saw on the news some Democrat defending Walz, insisting that at the time he put in his papers, he had no idea his unit was going to go to Iraq. Sure.

Fun FAct:
Every Reservist knew for sure back in 2003 when we invaded Iraq they were going. Walz bailed in what...2005 and retired?  Walz is a bald faced liar.  The perfect Pick for the Harris WH run.
