GOP veterans to Walz: 'You have violated the trust of our brothers and sisters in arms'

CHICAGO — In a fiery and furious open letter to Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), four Republican veterans in the Senate and dozens in the House of Representatives excoriated the Democratic vice presidential nominee for repeatedly misrepresenting his service in the National Guard.

“Repeatedly claiming to be a ‘Retired Command Sergeant Major’ when you did not complete the requirements was not honorable,” said the letter, which was organized by the presidential campaign of former President Donald Trump. “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.”
