Tim Walz’s battalion commander shredded Tim Walz in a long Facebook post, saying that he does “not regret that Tim Walz retired early” from the National Guard to avoid a deployment to Iraq.
John Kolb became lieutenant colonel of Walz’s battalion of the Minnesota Army National Guard in 2005, not long after Walz retired.
“Feeling a need to say this,” Kolb began his post.
“I do not regret that Tim Walz retired early from the Minnesota Army National Guard, did not complete the Sergeants Major Academy, broke his enlistment contract or did not successfully complete any assignment as a Sergeant Major. Unwittingly, he got out of the way for better leadership”
Kolb then went on to praise the man who replaced Walz.
“Thomas Behrends was the right leader at the right time. He sacrificed to answer the call, leaving his family, business and farming-partner brother to train, lead and care for soldiers. He earned the privilege of being called Command Sergeant Major. Like a great leader he ran toward and not away from the guns.”
The post didn’t end there.
“I have no opinion of Mr. Walz’s decision to leave service at the time he did,” Kolb continued. “It was his right to retire early. I also have no criticism of his service as an E7 and E8 in the MNARNG. By all accounts and on the record, he was a competent Chief of Firing Battery/Gunnery Sergeant and First Sergeant. I cannot say the same of his service sitting, frocked, in the CSM chair. He did not earn the rank or successfully complete any assignment as an E9. It is an affront to the Noncommissioned Officer Corps that he continues to glom onto the title. I can sit in the cockpit of an airplane, it does not make me a pilot. Similarly, when the demands of service and leadership at the highest level got real, he chose another path. #notmyCSM.”
A separate denunciation was posted on Facebook by the man Kolb praised as Walz’s replacement, Thomas Behrends, who has previously spoken out against Walz.
“Traitor, Deserter, Military Imposter, Kamelaeon Party Leader Tim Walz has been drug out of his outhouse and into the light, so we the American people can conduct an archeological dig of what lies below. As we descend into the depths of lies and deceit, who knows how deep the disgusting and despicable pit goes? I’m guessing that we will be digging for many moons, and when we think we have hit bottom, we will pop out in China. A picture of who he thinks he is, and another of who he really is.”
In an interview with Alpha News in September 2022, Behrends said of Walz, “The public needs to know how pathetic his leadership was as a National Guardsman.”
“He abandoned us. What the hell kind of leader does that? As soon as the shots were fired in Iraq, he turned and ran the other way and hung his hat up and quit.”
Since being chosen as the Vice President’s presumptive running mate for the presidency, Governor Walz has come under intense scrutiny for his radical policies as governor and also for misleading comments about his military record, made over many years.
Newly resurfaced video from a hearing in 2008 shows Minnesota Governor Tim Walz implying heavily that he suffered PTSD from deployment to Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.
Walz was speaking to the family of a Gold Star veteran at the House Veterans Affairs Committee on Veterans and Mental Health when he made remarks that suggested he had personal experience of PTSD after serving in Operation Enduring Freedom in 2004 with the National Guard.
“I can tell you this, having been one of those that came back. We were in support of OEF [Operation Enduring Freedom]… when we came back, they showed us the horse whisperer and told us to be nice when we went home. And that was the extent of it. That was in 2004.”
Walz has been accused of “stolen valor” for inflating his rank and the importance of his operational deployments. Walz never took part in Operation Enduring Freedom, the name for US operations directly in and above Afghan territory, but was posted to Italy with the National Guard in a support role.
Ret. Lt. Col. John Kolb accused Walz of being an inept commander and a coward
