Tim Walz Lied About His Military Service


Recommended Posts

The Minnesota National Guard confirmed Wednesday that Gov. Tim Walz, Kamala Harris' vice presidential running mate, was demoted and did not retire as a command sergeant major like he has claimed for years, including on his official gubernatorial biography.

Huh...so JD says Walz didn't go to a conflict area, despite Walz suggesting he did. CNN confirmed that Vance was right. Now Walz is confirmed to have been demoted because he didn't complete the course work for his promotion.

I heard someone say today that picking Walz was done to help Harris lose, not help her win.

That's your answer? Walz lied about his service...TWICE...and you don't care? I guess as long as he's for infanticide, mutilating children's sexual organs, gay porn in school, open boarders and taxing our economy out of existence, it doesn't matter that he lied about his service.

The thing about the left is that they can't allow their policies and ideology to be seen as the problem. Biden came dangerously close to making that a reality. If she wins and she's as bad as Joe (and she will be worse), people will start to blame the policy rather than the person. That would be devastating.

In a way, the right is in a win win here. If Trump wins, the Biden/Harris agenda dies and we all get our economy back. If Harris wins, she will f' things up so bad, no one will vote liberal for decades.

Nope. Your cult leader got five different deferments to avoid Vietnam, you shouldn't care either.

"Governor Tim Walz served from April 8, 1981, to May 16, 2005.  Governor Walz served in the Minnesota National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery after transferring from the Nebraska National Guard in 1996. While serving in Minnesota, his military occupational specialties were 13B - a cannon crewmember who operates and maintains cannons and 13Z -field artillery senior sergeant. In Nebraska, he served as a 11Z - infantry senior sergeant, and a 71L - administrative specialist.  He held multiple positions within field artillery such as firing battery chief, operations sergeant, first sergeant, and culminated his career serving as the command sergeant major for the battalion," Army Lt. Col. Kristen Augé, Minnesota National Guard’s State Public Affairs Officer, told Just the News in a statement Wednesday. 

"He retired as a master sergeant in 2005 for benefit purposes because he did not complete additional coursework at the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy," she added.

I said he lied about being a Command Seargant. I didn't say anything about him not finishing the classes. Again, he's lying about it and you are making excuses for it.

Yes the defenders of Mr Bonespurs should STFU, they have no right to comment over another persons service,,

I didn't serve. But I didn't lie about it either. Trump didn't serve. He didn't lie about it. JD served in a hostile country and didn't lie about his role. Harris didn't serve and didn't lie about it. The only one lying about their service is Walz.

I didn't call Wallz a chickens#1t. I called him a liar. You tried to change it to chickens#1t so you could equivocate it. Because you sure as hell can't defend it.

I was talking about chickenshit Trump who lied about a medical condition he did not have to avoid being drafted to go to Vietnam.

He was demoted from command sergeant. What I said about his classes was that he didn't finish them. I wasn't faulting him for that. I was giving you the facts. He left before he finished. That is why he was demoted.

As for Trump, I dont know if he had spurs or not. Those can be fixed. But I would seriously doubt the military would just accept his word. They probably had some evidence like a medical record. Either way, he didn't lie about serving.

We all know you are trying to equivocate to distract from your nominees lack of qualifications.

I have been hearing that we're running against a sort of machine and not an actual person, so what you're saying makes sense.

I've just been thinking that they don't give a shit anymore and will go full Marxist if they can stay in the WH - kind of an all or nothing approach.

Tim Walz has faced unfair criticism about his military service, with claims that he lied about his rank and reasons for retirement. These claims don’t hold up when you look at the facts and military regulations.

In 2004, Walz was promoted to Command Sergeant Major, contingent on completing a specific coursework. He retired in May 2005 to pursue public service but didn't complete the coursework, leading to his demotion to Master Sergeant upon retirement. This was a standard procedure and not due to any misconduct on his part.

Military custom allows retired members to refer to the highest rank they held, so Walz can rightfully say he served as a Command Sergeant Major. His decision to retire and run for Congress shows his commitment to serving his community in a new way, not avoiding deployment.

Accusations of him lying about his rank and service are unfounded. His service record, which includes responding to natural disasters and overseas deployments, is commendable. His leadership and dedication have been recognized by his peers, debunking claims of cowardice.

Governor Walz’s military service and political career show his dedication to serving his country and community. The criticisms lack evidence and ignore the full context of his service. His use of the Command Sergeant Major title is legitimate, and his move to public service highlights his commitment to the public.

Yeah the fact you think a guy who served as command sergeant major up to the point he retired (at which point he was demoted as a matter of routine clerical shit) saying he retired as a command sergeant major is some big lie is truly pathetic.

Yeah they had a letter from a doctor who was a close friend of Trump's dad.

Donald Trump Bone Spurs Diagnosis Was Favor From Doctor to Fred Trump, Says Podiatrist's Daughter

Quote

 

President Donald Trump may have been able to avoid military service in Vietnam because a podiatrist in Queens, New York, did a "favor" for his father and diagnosed 22-year-old Trump with bone spurs in his heels.

The podiatrist, Larry Braunstein, died in 2007, but his daughters recently told The New York Times that their father frequently recalled coming to the aid of the Trump family during the Vietnam War in the late 1960s.

"I know it was a favor," said Elysa Braunstein, along with her sister, Sharon Kessel, in a report published on Wednesday. The two said that their father's account implied that Trump did not have the foot ailment that kept him out of the war.

He was demoted though. Standard administrative procedure, nothing untoward or unusual about it.

Uh no, he didn't turn it down. He quit after being awarded the position. He just didn't finish the requirements so he was demoted to reflect his true finishing position.

I never said that it was untoward or unusual. I said that his insistence that he held the higher position when he never fully qualified for it is a lie.

Except he did hold that position. It was right in the article you posted. I quoted it twice already. Are you slow? Christ you can't even get the shit you're pretending to be mad about straight in your heads.

Who cares about this nonsense? He spent 24 years serving his country.

He didn't hold that position because he didn't finish training. He was awarded the position. He never held it because he never finished training.
