Kurt Schlichter and MANY Veterans BURY Tim Walz Underneath a Photo Thread for Abandoning His Unit

Newly minted Kamala Harris vice presidential candidate Tim Walz hasn't had the best rollout in the world, folks. 

Sure, if you listen to the mainstream media (who even DOES that?), he's just a 'folksy' governor who 'reads moderate,' despite being the most far-left governor in America who doesn't slather his hair in Brylcreem. (But that may be only because he barely has any hair to slather.)

Between his COVID snitch hotline, his abandonment of Minneapolis to destruction by George Floyd mobs, his desire to 'trans the kids,' and his truly repulsive signature on a Minnesota law that called pedophilia a 'sexual orientation,' America is beginning to find out what a woke, socialist candidate looks like. 

But there is one criticism of Walz that is starting to stick so much that even the mainstream media is covering it: the fact that he abandoned the men under his command when, as a National Guard Command Sergeant Major, his unit (the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion) was given orders to deploy to Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. Walz did not deploy with his men. Walz deserted them by retiring the day before they were set to depart. 

This apparent cowardice did not sit well with retired infantry Colonel Kurt Schlichter, who served 27 years in the U.S. Army. Not even a little bit. 

Yesterday on Twitter, Schlichter repeatedly hammered Walz with accurate accusations such as 'blue falcon.'

But it was when Schlichter asked other veterans to join him in posting pictures of themselves as #NotTimWalz that they set Twitter on fire. Countless servicemembers posted pictures of their deployments in combat theaters, past and present, and NOT running away from their duty. 

We could never capture them all here, there were so many. But we thought we'd share some of the best, not only to point out Walz's lie about his military service, but also to salute and thank the men and women who DID serve in combat with honor.

Without further ado, we'll start it off with Col. Schlichter himself. 

This second tweet was sent at 10:30 AM on Aug. 7. What followed was nothing short of spectacular. We'll keep our commentary to a minimum below and just let these heroes speak for themselves. 

Just pausing for a moment here to tell you how full our hearts are with pride and respect for all of these men and women in uniform, who were there right beside their brothers and sisters and did not leave them behind.

OK, resuming now ... 

We're going to keep going now with some military members who shared some brief stories along with their photos. 

Hey, at least John Kerry went. What he did and said when he came back is a different story altogether, but he went. Walz didn't.

OK. No joke. That might be one of the most beautiful photos we have ever seen. 

Schlichter also thanked Dale Stark in a reply to the tweet above, expressing his appreciation to Stark for teaching him all about A-10s for one of his books. 

Salzman has been one of Walz's most outspoken critics for lying about his service. And you can understand why when you read the caption in his tweet above. He was part of the deployment that was directly betrayed by Walz. 

We're going to interrupt the photo montage briefly to share another tweet from Salzman where he calls out Walz for lying about his going to war and about his stolen valor. 

OK. We'll shut up again now. Here are some more photos of heroes.

As we wrote earlier, we could go on forever here. The hashtags #NotTimWalz and #NotBeingTim Walz took over Twitter, and they are still coming in. 

We'll end with a simple message, not from a veteran this time, just someone who appreciates them. 

Indeed. Thank you to all of these wonderful veterans for their courage, their patriotism, and their undying fidelity to the men and women with whom they served. And thank you to those who shared their pictures but we simply did not have enough room for them. 

As for Walz himself, we don't want to omit that he did serve honorably in the National Guard for more than 20 years. That's not nothing. But when the chips were down, he LET his brothers and sisters down. 

One thing is for sure. This issue is NOT going away. Harris and Walz have been avoiding questions from everyone, even a sycophantic media, like they are afraid to answer anything at all. 

That's not going to cut it with this scandal. Walz better answer this one. And he'd better answer it well. If he can't (or worse, won't), there is no chance that veterans will vote for him. And there is a 100 percent chance that veterans will do everything within their legal power to keep him far away from the vice presidency.

You didn't man up in 2005, Tim Walz. You'd better man up now.
