[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jd is no longer in the military so did he abandon his troops?? I'm just really confused when someone can actually retire and get out of the military without it being abandonment?

My uncle retired  after 20 years in the national guard to go to private sector. Many of his colleagues stayed in the service and are lifelong servicemen. He is still Friends with them to this day and never once have I ever thought he deserted his troop. 
So are the Republicans saying once you enter the service you must also die in the service?? Because I thought those were suckers? [/quote]

Did your uncle retire when his unit was under a deployment warning order and then not correct people when they thanked him for his service on the battlefield? Did he claim that he carried weapons of war when he was deployed to Italy?[/quote]

- Walz submitted his retirement paperwork late 2004
- Walz announced he was running for Congress in February 2005
- Walz filed with the FEC in February 2005
- His unit didn't get its first notice of a possible Iraq deployment until March 17 2005 - AFTER Walz already filed his paperwork, AFTER Walz already started running for Congress
- Walz was retired from the Guard May 2005
- His unit didn't get its official deployment notice until June 2005
- His unit didn't deploy until March 2006, more than 18 months after Walz filed retirement paperwork and 10 months after he had already retired

Trying to claim he "suddenly abandoned his unit when they received deployment notice" doesn't add up.

Anyone claiming otherwise lacks basic calendar proficiency.  [/quote]

The chaplain of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s field artillery regiment said there is no excuse for the Democratic VP pick to have abandoned his National Guard unit before a critical deployment — not even running for Congress.

“In our world, to drop out after a WARNORD [warning order] is issued is cowardly, especially for a senior enlisted guy,” retired Capt. Corey Bjertness, now a pastor in Horace, North Dakota, told The Post.

Bjertness, 61, was the chaplain for the 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery, of which Walz was command sergeant major before retiring in 2005, two months before the unit deployed to Iraq. Walz has said he did so to run for Congress, and he was elected the next year.

“Running for Congress is not an excuse,” Bjertness said of Walz’s decision to quit. “I stopped everything and went to war. I left my wife with three teenagers and a 6-year-old and I was gone for 19 months.”

Thomas Behrends, the command sergeant major who replaced Walz, previously told The Post of the Minnesota governor: “He had the opportunity to serve his country, and said ‘Screw you’ to the United States.”

Bjertness added that leaving his troops at such a critical time was irresponsible of Walz, who served for more than two decades with the Army National Guard in Nebraska and Minnesota.

“That means that a new master sergeant needs to come in and to get to know everyone. Their task is to keep everyone safe and healthy,” the pastor said

As shown in the timeline above, he submitted his retirement paperwork MONTHS before there was a WARNORD and he announced his candidacy for Congress and filed with the FEC BEFORE there was a WARNORD and he was RETIRED FROM THE GUARD for an entire TEN MONTHS before they deployed.

Stop with this inane nonsense and learn how to understand how time works.  You people are stupid for continuing this dysfunctional, illogical, calendar-illiterate garbage.

Got it?  You look like idiots.  No "yabut so-and-so said..."  Enough already.  You look like idiots.[/quote]
