[In] early 2005, Walz’s battalion was ordered to mobilize for an active duty deployment to Iraq. Shortly after, in May 2005, Walz “quit, leaving the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion and its Soldiers hanging; without its senior Non-Commissioned Officer, as the battalion prepared for war[.]”
And yet, profiles of Walz claimed he had served in Iraq. Bloomberg told its readers that Walz had “recently returned from serving in Iraq as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.”
Only now, Bloomberg is stealth-editing this apparent act of stolen valor away. Get a load of this:
Bloomberg has now stealth-edited the claim that Tim Walz served in Iraq. The claim was originally made by the same reporter (Joshua Green) in 2004 while doing a profile of Walz.
The press are literally scrubbing the records to try to stop this scandal. They won’t succeed.

Here’s an article
from 2007
where Walz, who was then in Congress, inflates his rank and talks as though he served in Iraq:
Congressman Walz has a personal history with the Red Bulls, having retired in 2005 as command sergeant major for the 1-125th Battalion of the 1st Brigade Combat Team: “I served alongside these Soldiers for many years and I could not be more proud of them. They endured their extended deployment with patience and determination and their distinguished service record in Iraq speaks for itself. Today, every Minnesotan should be proud to call the Red Bulls our neighbors and friends.”
No wonder Walz is
spreading lies
about Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (R-OH). Vance joined the U.S. Marines after 9/11 and actually did serve in the Iraq War.
