Command Sergeant Major Tim Walz is a twenty-four-year veteran of the Army National Guard, now retired but still on active duty when a visit from President George W. Bush shortly before the 2004 election coincided with Walz's homecoming to Mankato, Minnesota.
The president's visit struck Walz as a teachable moment, and he and two students boarded a Bush campaign bus that took them to a quarry where the president was to speak.
Do you support the president? Walz refused to answer.
Do you oppose the president? Walz replied that it was no one's business but his own.
Walz thought for a moment and asked the Bush staffers if they really wanted to arrest a command sergeant major who'd just returned from fighting the war on terrorism.
The whole story about Walz, a combat veteran, bringing students along who then got kicked out because they had a Kerry sticker on their wallet was false.
Walz did not acknowledge the different versions of the story that he had previously put out there and once again claimed that he was a disinterested party who was motivated to run for office because of the incident rather than that he was a partisan there to protest against Bush.
