Fact Check: Tim Walzs September 11 Re-Enlistment Story Debunked

Among his many other lies about his military service, Minnesota
Democratic Governor Tim Walz Vice President Kamala Harris running
mate also fabricated a story about re-enlisting in the National
Guard right after September 11, 2001.
Walz and the Harris campaign have repeatedly claimed that Walz
re-enlisted instead of retiring after 20 years when terrorists piloted
planes into the World Trade Center on 9/11. In reality, Walz wasnt up
for retirement until the next year, and so his re-enlistment was not
about the immediate attack on the U.S., the Federalist reported.
Walz initially enlisted in April 1981, which would have put his
20-year retirement in April 2001, months before the attacks. But Walz
had had an inactive period of seven-and-a-half months that would have
deferred his retirement by the same amount of time putting his
20-year retirement in November 2001, a month after the September 11
attacks.
The problem for Walz is he said during a 2009 interview that his
retirement happened to occur the week of September 11, 2001.
