“Congressman Waltz is a highly decorated army officer who served his country in uniform for the last 25 years that included combat tours in Afghanistan where he took the fight directly to the Taliban alongside Afghan forces,” said a Waltz spokesperson in a statement to The Intercept. “Additionally, he served in civilian positions where he frequently traveled to Afghanistan at his own risk to assist in building the capacity of the Afghan government and business sectors.”
Congressional ethics disclosures show that in 2019, Waltz held up to $1 million in equity from Metis Solutions and up to $250,000 in options of Metis Solutions stock. In November 2020, PAE announced that the company was acquiring Metis Solutions in an all-cash deal worth $92 million with the self-proclaimed goal to increase its foothold in the intelligence, analysis, and training space serving government clients.
