National Guard vet claims Walz went above him on retirement: "He knew I would have told him, 'Suck it up'"

A former National Guard colleague has accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz of going above him to secure his 
retirement on the brink of their unit's deployment nearly 20 years ago, believing that he would have told the 
then-political hopeful, "Suck it up, we're going."

Doug Julin, who oversaw Walz as a more senior command sergeant in the 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery, 
of the Minnesota National Guard, recalled that the future governor approached him in 2005 with some career 
questions.

Walz, now 60, told Julin that he was prepared for the unit's upcoming deployment to Iraq, but said he was 
also interested in running for Congress, Julin told the Washington Post.

Julin said it was "no big deal," and noted that members of Congress had deployed in the past.

A few months later, Julin found out from another Guard member that Walz had retired after all, which he 
secured by going through two officers who outranked Julin.

"I would have analyzed it and challenged him. It would have been a different discussion, but he went to the 
higher ranks. He knew I would have told him, 'Suck it up, we're going,'" Julin claimed.

Other former colleagues have criticized him for leaving the National Guard for Congress despite being fully 
aware that he could have requested permission from the Pentagon to run for office while on active duty.

"On May 16th, 2005,  quit, betraying his country, leaving the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion and its 
Soldiers hanging; without its senior Non-Commissioned Officer, as the battalion prepared for war," retired 
Command Sergeants Major Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr wrote in a letter posted to Facebook in 2018.

The duo claimed Walz further dodged the necessary paperwork to ensure a smooth transition out of military 
service and instead "slithered out the door" with his retirement filing showing "soldier not available for 
signature."

Remember Venn diagrams, those three circles? Right.

And then let's just see where they overlap.

You will not be surprised because I have constructed a Venn diagram on this. 

Remember those three circles, how they overlap?

I love Venn diagrams. So, I just do.

Whenever you're dealing with conflict, pull out a Venn diagram. Right?

And so, you know, the three circles.

Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. 
Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, 
that's wrong.
