Former commander retired Army Command Sergeant Major Doug Julin confirmed Friday that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, now the Democrat vice presidential candidate, knew months in advance he would deploy to Iraq well before choosing to retire and miss the deployment.
I’m going to kind of start of back in the fall of 2004, is what we received — my own commander and myself, of the 1st Brigade, 34th Infantry Division Brigade Combat Team, what’s called a notification of sourcing, which is a ‘NOS.’ We were informed that we would be alerted to go to Iraq within the next upcoming year or time period out there, start preparing your team, get your team together and let’s get the process in play.
At that meeting was Gov. Tim Walz, or Sergeant Major Tim Walz at the time. When we had the meeting, and it was over with, he asked to speak with me, and we sat down and spoke one-on-one, and that’s where he informed me. He says, ‘Just to let you know, I have put a bid in for Congress. I have not been selected yet, I have not been nominated yet, but I just want to let you know.’
Julin said at the next meeting, in June 2005, he found out that Walz was not there, and was replaced by Command Sergeant Major Tom Behrends. He said that is when he found out that Walz “quit.” “Tim Walz knew the process and procedures. He went around me and above and beyond me, and basically went to get somebody to back him to get him out of there without … it was just a backdoor process that he handled against me,” Julin said.
