Tom Schilling, a veteran who served in the same battalion as Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, said Walz 'ditched' him and other soldiers before they were deployed to Iraq in 2005. 'We all did what we were supposed to do, we did the right thing,' Schilling said on Fox News' 'Jesse Watters Primetime' Wednesday. 'It's dishonorable what he did. He left somebody else up to take over his spot. He just ditched us.
Ryan Rossman, Minnesota National Guard’s Director of Operations, detailed Walz's service in a statement to Fox News: 'He held multiple positions within field artillery such as firing battery chief, operations sergeant, first sergeant, and culminated his career serving as the command sergeant major for the battalion. He retired as a master sergeant in 2005 for benefit purposes because he did not complete additional coursework at the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy.
