Kelly took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to amplify the concerns raised by the veterans. “Many men who served with Governor Walz when he was in the National Guard… have come forward to accuse him of that sin,” she stated in a post. She then shared clips from the interview, which further fueled the fire surrounding the accusations against the governor.
The veterans who spoke with Kelly made it clear that they felt abandoned by Walz when he left the unit before their deployment. They revealed that Walz requested retirement just as the battalion was preparing to go to Iraq, citing personal reasons related to launching his political career. While his request was granted, it came at a steep price—the revocation of his Command Sergeant Major title, reducing him to Master Sergeant upon his departure. “It is morally indefensible. He didn’t care. It was all about him,” one of the veterans claimed during the interview.

This sentiment was echoed by other members of the panel, who expressed their frustration over what they saw as a betrayal. “If you knew my blood was boiling right now because Walz has done nothing but lie to feather his own bed his entire career,” one veteran said, while another bluntly labeled Walz a “military impersonator.” These men, who served under Walz, were not just voicing personal grievances—they were bringing to light accusations of dishonesty and self-serving behavior that could have far-reaching implications.
As the controversy continues to gain traction, Walz’s political opponents are already seizing the moment. Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), who is set to debate Walz on October 1st, has promised to bring up the governor’s military record during their first face-off. Vance, a Navy veteran, has not been shy about criticizing Walz’s decision to leave his unit just before deployment. During a recent appearance in Michigan, Vance took aim at his opponent, stating, “When Tim Walz was asked by his country to go to Iraq, you know what he did? He dropped out of the Army and allowed his unit to go without him.”
This public rebuke from Vance adds another layer of complexity to Walz’s already embattled position. As a Democrat vying for a national platform, Walz is facing mounting pressure to address the accusations against him, particularly as the general election draws nearer.

As the accusations continue to swirl, the question remains: will Governor Walz be able to weather this storm of controversy, or will these revelations tarnish his political future? With former colleagues and military officials speaking out against him, the governor will likely need to confront these allegations head-on if he hopes to maintain credibility. In an age where political opponents are quick to capitalize on any perceived weakness, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Walz.
For now, the interview with Megyn Kelly has reignited a debate about integrity in public service, particularly when it comes to military credentials. Walz, who has long touted his military service as part of his political identity, will need to reconcile these accusations with his public persona if he hopes to move forward in his career. As the October 1st debate approaches, all eyes will be on whether Walz can defend his record or if his opponents will use it to further erode his credibility.
The accusations are clear: desertion, dishonesty, and political opportunism. Whether Walz can withstand this scrutiny will be a defining moment in his political journey.
