*Master Sergeant...... He left to run for office and his official military record has been changed.
"Walz enlisted in the Army National Guard in Nebraska in 1981 and retired honorably in 2005 as the top enlisted soldier for 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery Regiment, in the Minnesota National Guard, according to a copy of his records provided by the Minnesota Guard. He reached the rank of command sergeant major and served in that role, but he officially retired as a master sergeant for benefits purposes because he didn't finish a required training course, according to the records and a statement from the Minnesota Guard."

I have a cousin who just retired as a CSM. To complete the rank he had to complete like 30+ hours of college course work, plus he had to spend a large number of hours as an instructor in a military education position teaching classes as a professor. Lots of weird things like that. it took him several years after he reached the CSM rank to complete all the requirements like that. I know in that position he was responsible for and commanded ~3000 soldiers on top of the additional educational requirements needed"Walz enlisted in the Army National Guard in Nebraska in 1981 and retired honorably in 2005 as the top enlisted soldier for 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery Regiment, in the Minnesota National Guard, according to a copy of his records provided by the Minnesota Guard.

Tim Walz's military record: What to know about potential VP's National Guard service
Democratic vp pick Tim Walz served for decades in the Army National Guard, serving in the U.S. and overseas.
Command Sergeant Major.....he served as a Command Sergeant Major...he retired as a Master Sergeant by choice based upon his retirement benefits being higher at that rank because he hadn't completed all his points requirements/training requirements for full retirement at Command Sergeant Major.
Ohh gee...it's like they are predictable or something
I'm with you on this one. It seems like they're trying to spin his military record to fit a certain narrative, but it's just not necessary. The guy volunteered, served, and retired with honors - that's something to be proud of! By embellishing his record, they're opening themselves up to criticism and accusations of dishonesty.
What "truth" are they not "owning" according to you? What "spin" are they putting on his military record? What "embellishment" is going on.
The stories I read quote men from the battalion he retired from to run for office. They are the ones that petitioned him to not list it as his title before VP was a thing. They never mentioned it was for benefits.
This sh!+ gets exhausting. Someone might not agree w Harris/Walz policies but the Magastanian lurch from chaos to chaos is just exhausting.
Can you quote those stories? Can you provide ANY evidence that he was, as you say, only a Master Sergeant or that his record was "corrected" to show he never achieved the rank of Command Sergeant Major? I'd like to see it. Otherwise, you're just blowing smoke.
It has been utterly exhausting sharing a country with the walking, talking versions of a National Enquirer magazine. Friends, relatives, neighbors, otherwise lovely people who will just spout out the most batshit crazy things anytime they get the chance. And as we've seen on here you can show them how wrong they are, over and over again on the insanity they spout. And they will look at you with this blank stare, like they're incapable of registering the fact they might be wrong about this one thing. They will stare their complete and utter wrongness directly in the face and the brain shuts down in an act of self preservation to keep the house of cards their reality is built on from crumbling down. And then they carry on and forget the fact they were just shown how wrong they are. Because if they recognize it just once then they have to question another absolutely insane thing they know to be true. And another. And another. The last thing they can allow themselves to do is question even once the insane reality they've been brainwashed into living.
