Appears he lied about his rank and it has been exposed.

Huh.

Harris campaign walks back Walz bio amid 'stolen valor' controversy as questions swirl

The Harris campaign has tweaked the biography of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz amid ongoing scrutiny over his service in the National Guard, which Republicans have called "stolen valor."

The Harris campaign has altered its biography of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on its campaign website, making a change to a reference to his military service amid ongoing scrutiny of the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee’s military credentials.

Walz’s biography initially said he was a "retired Command Sergeant Major."

It has since been updated to say that he "served as a command sergeant major."

He was the rank he claimed as a reservist but was demoted upon retirement because he didn't complete the qualifications/eligibility. While he continues to claim to be CSM, he receives a retirement pay grade of E-8 instead of E-9.

What do you have against schoolgirls having access to Tampons in their restrooms?

None

No moron, Tim was NOT demoted like Ronnie!

True. Tampon Timmy's demotion was not political.

From "retired" to "served as" is what you've got? No wonder this is gaining zero traction everywhere other than MAGA echo chambers.

Well, shockedcanadian is desperate to serve his master so he’s trying very hard to latch on to anything anything that he thinks may please Him.

It’s really rather pathetic to watch someone who knows better debase himself like that.

Reading is fundamental.

When Walz left the Guard, he had achieved the rank of command sergeant major, but he was reduced in rank months after retiring, leaving him as a master sergeant. National Guard officials have said that he retired before fulfilling requirements for the position, including coursework at the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy. The subsequent lower rank was due to benefit requirements and a technicality.

Not completing your duties isn’t a technicality,
