Fifty military veteran lawmakers have signed an open letter to Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s running mate, for building his career on a “foundation” of lies about his military service. Walz has falsely claimed he is a retired command sergeant major, and falsely claimed he carried weapons “in war” during an anti-gun rights speech, despite never deploying to a combat zone.
“The Office of the Vice President is a position that requires the trust of the American people and a solemn commitment to duty on behalf of the United States of America. As veterans who have served our nation, we feel compelled to address your egregious misrepresentations and urge you to come clean to the American people,” begins the letter, organized by Veterans and Military Families for Trump chairman Rep. Brian Mast.

It says the Minnesota Governor is right to be “damn proud” of his service but stresses “there is no honor in lying about the nature of your service.”
“Repeatedly claiming to be a ‘Retired Command Sergeant Major’ when you did not complete the requirements was not honorable. Nor was it honorable to claim to carry weapons ‘in war’ when you had not served in war, and abandoning the men and women under your leadership just as they were getting ready to deploy was certainly not honorable either,” the letter states.
SKIPPING IRAQ.
Walz took early retirement to run for Congress as his unit was being prepared for deployment to Iraq. He previously claimed he did not know about his unit’s upcoming deployment, but unearthed press releases from his campaign show he was well aware of it.
“The honor of wearing the uniform is earned through dedication, bravery, and an unwavering sense of duty. You have displayed none of these characteristics as you have lied your way through a political career launched on the foundation of a title you did not earn and combat deployments you did not take part in,” the letter says.
“America’s veterans and servicemembers are rightfully concerned about what would happen to them should you ascend to the Presidency. When America asked you to lead your troops into War, you turned your back on your troops,” it concludes.
“You have violated the trust of our brothers and sisters in arms. Their blood, sweat, and sacrifice are the only reason our nation is able to exist. Until you admit you lied to them, there is no way you can be trusted to serve as Vice President.”
