(America First Report)—Minnesota Governor and Democrat VP nominee Tim Walz is a liar. His service as a member of the National Guard was fruitful… just not nearly as exciting as he makes it out to be.
The latest odd and confusing tale comes from a resurfaced speech he delivered on September 11, 2021; a PDF is available on the Minnesota government website. It was the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. An interesting segment of his speech stood out for two reasons. Here is the portion in question [emphasis added]:
In the years after that classroom, I had the privilege of serving in this state’s national guard. I stood one night in the dark of night on the tarmac at Bagram Air Base in Iraq and watched a military ramp ceremony–a soldier’s body being loaded onto a plane to be returned home. And if you’ve seen it, you don’t leave the same. It makes you wonder, what are we doing? What are we trying to get to? And then watching as all of you have been, the confusing last few weeks with the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.
There are two problems with his statement. By saying that he had the privilege of serving in the National Guard and then telling the story of watching a military ramp ceremony implies that the two are related. That was his intention, otherwise he would have noted his time in Congress during which he attended a military ramp ceremony as a member of a delegation. Instead, he wanted listeners to believe he was with the National Guard while in the Middle East watching the ceremony.
Here’s the video of Walz giving the speech itself. He doesn’t just mention being in the National Guard before telling of the military ramp ceremony. He took it a step further by talking of the “guilt” he felt in being able to come home knowing so many others didn’t, insinuating that he had “come home” from deployment in the Middle East, which never actually happened.
After referencing his time in the National Guard, Tim Walz said felt "guilt" of being able to come home from Afghanistan when so many others did not.

The second error in his speech, which was written but not spoken, was saying the air base is in Iraq. Bagram Air Base is in Afghanistan. Details matter, especially when speaking from a position of authority on a matter.
As 𝕏 user @amuse noted:
After many examples of Walz claiming either directly or indirectly that he is a war veteran who saw combat, the Democrat party and the mainstream media continue covering for him.
However, the incident underscores the delicate nature of discussing military service, especially in the context of solemn remembrances like those for 9/11.
While the controversy may fade, it highlights the intense scrutiny faced by public figures, especially when it comes to their service records. For Walz, a simple slip of the tongue or a minor factual error turned into a significant political issue.

If this was an isolated incident, we could give him the benefit of the doubt that he simply failed to transition between mentioning being in the military and telling the story about Bagram. But Walz has demonstrated multiple times that he intentionally keeps his service record hazy at best, distorted at worst. He has implied seeing combat, which he never did. He has claimed to be retired with a rank that he lost. He pretends he didn’t know about deploying to Iraq before retirement despite many of those around him at the time debunking him.
Tim Walz is a liar and a bad one at that. We should appreciate his willingness to serve his country. But if he cannot properly communicate what his service record really is, how can he be trusted to be a heartbeat away from the presidency?
