Did Command Sergeant Major Walz serve during wartime?

[Dante]

NO, Walz said he carried those weapons in a war. A lie.

Of course he served during wartime.

You're lying your ass off.

 

[el midgetron]

Even worse than the stolen valor is the fact that when called for deployment he quit like a pussy.

Did Command Sergeant Major Walz serve during wartime?​

That’s the wrong question, as the dainty fully well knows.

The actual question, based on what Walz actually said, is whether he ever used a military weapon “in war.”

No. He didn’t.

 

[IM2]

What war did J.D. Bowman serve in? He was a correspondent.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Attacks are accusing Walz of feigning a record in active combat: "[Walz] said - and he was making a point about gun control - he said, ‘we shouldn't allow weapons that I used in war, to be on America's streets.' "Well, I wonder (said JD Vance), Tim Walz, when you ever in war?"

Vance has been exposed actually misquoting Walz in one of his screeds.

In the clip Vance was referencing, Walz says that he "carried" weapons in war, not "used." Given that Operation Enduring Freedom was a part of the post-9/11 War on Terror, and that Walz was deployed to Italy under it - and likely had a service weapon - the claim that he is engaging in "stolen valor" holds little water.

Vance spoke on Wednesday as if he served more honorably than Walz, noting that he went to Iraq "I did it, I did what they asked me to do and I did it honorably," he said The senator was deployed for six months in Iraq as a combat correspondent in 2005 as part of the Marines' Public Affairs office. He - like Walz - never engaged in active combat and has stated that he was "lucky to escape any real fighting," during his deployment.

"Though Walz did achieve the rank of command sergeant major, it was a provisional rank until he completed required coursework for senior leaders, National Guard officials said. He did not do so by the time he departed the military and his retirement rank reverted to master sergeant on May 15, 2005, officials said."

The people-of-the-cult need to stop disrespecting military men and women in order to go after Walz

He isnt a command SgtMaj. He lost that rank because he did not stay long enough to fulfill the requirements to retire at that he retired a Master Sgt.

JD never claimed he fired a shot or was involved in combat, and he served in Iraq.

That's quite the fast shuffle. What a sorry joke.

Lost the rank (for retirement purposes). Meaning he actually served as a Command Sergeant Major

Walz "provisionally" held the rank

Walz temporarily held the title of command sergeant major. So say the NG

“Governor Tim Walz...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.

According to Army Regulation 600-8-19, a solider who does not complete the requisite coursework results is automatically demoted.

1. Walz was NG. In other words he played soldier 38 days a year. Over 24 years that's the equivalent of 2.5 years of active service, never deployed and didnt have to even leave his hometown. Nothing wrong with NG service, but the framing that he's a 24-year military vet is dubious, and they are clearly trying to make it seem like he served 24 years on active duty. That's what I thought was the case based on the reporting until I looked it up. They should say he served 24 years in the NG.

2. Walz wasn't a Command Sgt Maj. He might have been selected for the rank but he wasnt one, and military ranks in the NG just arent that impressive. Sorry. they just aren't. He clearly doesnt have the support of a number of the people he served with in the Minne NG.

3. Walz never served in a combat zone, was never shot at or fired his weapon in anger.

4. Pointing these things out isn't disrespecting his service unless he's ashamed of it or you think it's shameful.

When I was a Gunny and the acting 1stSgt, I didnt get go around saying I was a 1stSgt. Because I wasnt.

Walz is a former command Sgtmaj (provisionally) LOL

National Guard Disputes Walz's Military Bio; CNN Calls Out 'Absolutely False' Claim Over Deployment | ZeroHedge

ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

www.zerohedge.com

"Minnesota National Guard spox Army Lieutenant Colonel Kristen Augé told Just the News that Walz, Kamala Harris' vice presidential running mate, was demoted and did not retire as a command sergeant major as he has claimed for years - including on his official gubernatorial biography - as he failed to complete a 750-hour course in the Army's Sergeants Major Academy, a mandatory course for E-9s, the Army's highest enlisted rank.

While Walz temporarily held the title of command sergeant major 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," Army Lt. Col. Kristen Augé, the Minnesota National Guard’s State Public Affairs Officer, told Just the News."

In other words, he was selected and maybe even pinned on the rank, but never did the work in order to be actually promoted to the rank.

Glad the Minnesota NG could clear that up for you.

Walz is a former command Sgtmaj (provisionally) LOL

CSgtMaj (prov) isnt a rank.

where's the rest of that sentence?

You people-of-the-cult need to stop disrespecting military men and women in order to go after Walz

I'm voting for him crusty. and what kind of attack is a question?

 

[Couchpotato]

The question was asked if Walz served during wartime. Yes. or No?

That's not the question. The question is did Walz serve in a war. There's a distinct difference. One Im quite sure is lost on you and Procrustes Stretched

 

[Dante]

Video of him saying it. Tell us again how he didnt say he carried the weapons in a war.

Carried.. yes. Always said he carried weapons during war, Not a comvbat vet.

All vets during a war carried weapons, not just combat vets

and great video of him!

It's a political ad to vote for a common sense gun guy
