BOMBSHELL: Tim Walz's Former Unit Commander Goes on CNN, Delivers Devestating Testimony

In a devastating development, current Kamala Harris running mate Tim Walz's former unit commander appeared on CNN and completely blew up the scandal surrounding the abandoning of his unit before its deployment to Iraq.
For days, the mainstream press has claimed that Walz did not know about the deployment before deciding to retire early and run for Congress. Command Seargent Major Doug Julin, who was the now-Minnesota governor's direct report, went through the timeline with Laura Coates. Not only did Walz know about the deployment, but he had committed to go. It was only after he went around Julin that he was able to secure his retirement, leaving his unit hamstrung just months before they shipped out.
The CNN host did her level best to push back at points and offer "clarifications" in Walz's favor, but Julin held his ground and gave the facts, inconvenient as they may be for the Harris campaign and the press:

Julin recalled a March 2005 meeting where Walz “came in, we sat and talked, he told me, he says, I have not been nominated, I am going forward with the battalion. I said, ‘Good, let's go.’ We got the team built, and we're starting to build the team out there.”
Fast forward to June and, “I walked into the team, the meeting hall, and Tom Behrends was there, and I asked Tom what he was doing there. And that's when he informed me that he had quit. The issue that came out of this was, first of all, how did Tim Walz quit without discussing with me, because I was his next level of leadership, or responsibility, or supervisor.”
Coates interrupted, “Excuse me, you're using the word ‘quit.’ I don't want to cut you off, sir, but -- excuse me, Sergeant Major, I just want to be precise in the language. You're using the word quit. You mean that he had opted to retire still, is that right? He had not somehow gone AWOL or been dishonestly discharged in some way. He opted to retire.”Julin would go on to explain that the proper procedure was for Walz to come to him to request authorization to retire. Instead, he went around Julin and found someone further up the chain of command to back his play. That left his unit high and dry as they were fully expecting him to be there to help lead on the deployment.
By this point, the testimony being shared was crushing for the current talking points so Coates tried to redirect. Julin wasn't having any of it, though.
