• Do you have a source? This seems pretty fair to assume either way but I will inevitably need to argue with family about this and i like to keep my positions airtight lol

        Did they make an official statement or something? Is there somewhere I can look up the deployment/claim? Again I take this as very likely true at face value. It makes sense and enough people have said it at this point that it seems like it’s likely the case. But I just like to always double check these things for myself. This is not skepticism it’s just a good personal policy.

            I wasn’t trolling and I did try to look it up confirming it but between google turning to shit and the pile of articles about this over the last 2 days it’s been difficult. So if you have one please share it because I genuinely want to see one before i repeat it as fact. I don’t understand why this is so controversial.

            You’re complaining that I’ve been commenting about this instead of looking it up and saying that it would’ve been easier, but you are engaging in the exact same behavior. So why don’t you just share it with me at this point? Why are we fighting over this?

      It’s fair to ask.

      He filed his campaign paperwork in February 2005, which would have necessitated his retirement. In March the MN Guard announced a partial deployment but his unit wasn’t specifically told they were deploying, he retired in May, his unit received orders to deploy in July.
