">"I do not regret that Tim Walz retired early from the Minnesota National Guard, did not complete the Sergeants Major Academy, broke his enlistment contract or did not successfully complete any assignment as a Sergeant Major. Unwittingly, he got out of the way for better leadership," John Kolb, Waltx';battalion commander wrote on Facebook, the Daily Mail reported.

From the cite, "When retired Captain Corey Bjertness, chaplain for 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery, was contacted about Walz's retirement fracas, he was pretty succinct, "In our world, to drop out after a WARNORD [warning order] is issued is cowardly, especially for a senior enlisted guy.”
