There has been a lot of discussion and debate over the governor’s military support over the past few weeks. Tim Walz, D-Minn. But this cut through the sound.  ,
As a veteran of two war, I can tell you that there are three things that old men never forget: the name of their basic education drill sergeant, the rate at which they were discharged or retired, and their deployment to a battle zone.  ,
Walz appears to be having issues with the latter two.  ,  ,
In this election, vice president Kamala Harris ‘ running mate has made his military service controversial because, according to some of his political friends, he has “misspoken” about his time serving in the National Guard.  ,
Please understand, I’m no questioning his services to our country, which was by all accounts heroic. It’s his frequent “misrepresentation” of his implementation status and his military level that have caused Walz and the Democrats political bloating, and rightfully so.  ,
Walz’s past system deployed to a battle zone, he did not. He retired in 2005, just a few months before his brother soldiers , were sent off to Iraq.
Always have a service member been dispatched to a combat zone. That does n’t lessen their service to our great nation. However, Walz has occasionally suggested that he did indeed build to a conflict zone over the years. Walz was really deployed in the War on Terror as a member of the Minnesota National Guard, but he was far from the front lines of duty. Walz served a tour of duty in Italy while far removed from the harsh heat and ground of Iraq and Afghanistan. His other multinational military services included a deployment to Norway.
In 2018, Walz campaigned for government with a gun-control concept that inflated his company.  ,
In terms of ideas to outlaw assault rifle, he said,” We you make sure those weapons of war that I carried in battle are simply carried in battle.”  ,
After taking heat for his false statement, the Harris-Walz plan now says the chancellor “misspoke” at the time — in a movie widely circulated by group Harris.  ,  ,
Suddenly, a man who has been dispatched to a battle area is aware of it. Those who have n’t may not say otherwise. Doing so is n’t misspeaking, it’s lying.  ,
Walz has long stated he is a retired Command Sergeant Major ( CSM) — ,  , or an enlisted rank of E9. In fact, he not retired as an E9. He retired with the rank of E8 or Master Sergeant ( MSG).  ,
An E8’s retirement from military assistance indicates a long, successful military occupation. So why has the vice presidential candidate “misrepresented” his military level and implementation position for the past 19 times? At what point is he no more “misrepresenting” and rather lying?  ,
John Kolb took over as colonel commander of Walz’s National Guard product just a few weeks after Walz left his Iraq War-bound system to run for Congress. He referred to the president’s adornment as” an affront to the Noncommissioned Officer Corps that he continues to glom onto the subject.”
” He did not earn the position or successfully full any assignment as an E9″, Kolb , wrote , in a blog, punctuated with #notmyCSM. ” I can sit in the cockpit of an airplane, it does not make me a pilot” . ,
When a senior, yet a brother senior, makes up their service, it insults soldiers.  ,
Walz’s Democratic Party allies may try to roll all this and present Harris as the No. 1 candidate in the coming weeks. 2 as the target. Please do n’t fall for it.  ,  , Timothy Walz, MSG ( USA Retired ) could have easily stopped this years ago and set the record straight, but for his own personal gain he decided to continue his charade.  ,
This is not merely an elaboration of a battle story to win over viewers. Walz himself has committed a phony tale for almost 20 years, and he needs to be held accountable for it.  ,
