Confirmed: Walz Was Demoted When He Deserted His Iraq-Bound Unit; Has Been Falsely Claiming a Rank He Does Not Hold for Almost 20 Years
No one is reporting this yet, but I think it’s a fair speculation that he was only given the promotion to Command Master Soldier was in anticipation of leading his unit in the Iraq War. As he bugged out as soon as he was informed his unit was going to Iraq, he obviously did not earn this rank.
And the National Guard stripped it from him.
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.
Shortly after, in May 2005, Walz “quit, leaving the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion and its Soldiers hanging; without its senior Non-Commissioned Officer, as the battalion prepared for war,” according to the two Command Sergeants Major.
“When your country calls, you are supposed to run into battle — not the other way,” Behrends told the New York Post Tuesday. He ran away. It’s sad.”
“He had the opportunity to serve his country, and said ‘Screw you’ to the United States. That’s not who I would pick to run for vice president,” he added.

Sorta, mostly true. He did not complete the CSM schooling but held the rank conditionally pending completion. One of the conditions imposed and agreed to beforehand is that failing the training OR not completing is a reduction in rank to E-8, Master Sargent.

The problem people have with him is that years later he claimed or inferred he retired at the higher rank. But mostly it about quitting when he was told he would have to go to war.
Then I could do another post about his abetting the GF riots while governor.
The Democrats can have him.
