Did Walz have the gift of prophecy or a time machine he used to warn of deployment?

It's the wrong type of noise. He won't play well in battle ground states

It's noise focused on his character. Sprinkle in his policy positions and passed legislation as a governor, and Kamala's "achievements," and it's a winning recipe.

I call them low-information voters .. the ones that know more about sports and pop culture than they do basic government, voting and the individuals they vote into office.

I agree.. he WAS a provisional CSM .. past tense. He no longer is .. he's been demoted, meaning he no longer maintains the rank he could have secured during retirement because he failed to complete the eligibility requirements. Yet .. he sure communicates he's still a CSM. LOL

Gee, maybe because he continued to state he was a retired CSM, like on his recent Harris campaign bio that was updated to reflect reality. Embellishment galore.

It's not an embellishment. Keep beating the dead horse. Walz was a CSM. It was provisional. He has the right to claim his accomplishments.

You call ex President Trump "Mr. President?"

LOL

The right? How about claiming he is a retired CSM ... when he isn't? Is that a right too?

That's called "Embellishment" and the Harris campaign recognized this to edit the language they used on his bio.

The MNG and the DoD say differently

Did Walz have the gift of prophecy or a time machine he used to warn of deployment? No he did not.

I posted this one before: "almost every unit and member of the U.S. Military is subject to potential deployment at some point in the future and trains constantly toward that inevitability."

No Official has said no one knew of deployment you lying ass,

Minnesota National Guard officials weigh in on Walz service​

Claims the VP candidate abandoned unit don’t match reality, officials say​

It’s unlikey that Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee to the vice presidency, knew that his unit would receive mobilization orders not long after he retired in 2005, sources with the Minnesota National Guard told the Herald.

...

However, according to information shared by multiple official sources within the MNG, Walz earned that rank and would need either the gift of prophecy or a time machine to use the deployment as an excuse to leave the service...

According to Lt. Col. Kristen Augé, the MNG’s State Public Affairs Officer, Walz “served from April 8, 1981, to May 16, 2005″ during which time 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.”

Minnesota National Guard officials weigh in on Walz service

Walz has come under sustained fire over his decision to retire, following 24 years of service in various Guard units, while his battalion was allegedly under orders to deploy.

www.bostonherald.com

Any assertions that Walz’s unit was warned of a possible deployment ahead of the July 14 mobilization order is questionable, according to DoD officials, as they amount to little more than repeated and misplaced barracks rumors.

First of all, almost every unit and member of the U.S. Military is subject to potential deployment at some point in the future and trains constantly toward that inevitability.

Second, the U.S. Army’s current practice of officially notifying a unit ahead of an upcoming deployment via a “Notification of Sourcing” wasn’t implemented until 2009. Back in 2005, any hint a unit might mobilize that made its way out of the Department of the Army Headquarters would be considered unofficial and subject to change pending actual mobilization orders.

Time from his retirement to pursue politics until the date of deployment= 2 months

It was 10 months. Look it up instead of being wrong.

it was 2 months till they enacted stop loss which he also would have known being the Command SgtMaj.

So Walz is intelligent. What else do you have swift-boater?

he went out of command chain to retire because he knew the chain would object to his running away.

Stop loss is basically indentured servitude. You would know that. It's been called the backdoor draft.

He lied about his motives for leaving and snuck out through the back door to avoid deploying. Then had the nerve for all these years to claim he didn't and to lie about his rank and service.

That was 20 years ago. I heard that he misspoke about being deployed to Afghanistan. He was deployed during the Enduring Freedom campaign, but was sent to Italy. He's since apologized for that misconception.

He should've gotten out at twenty years.

Will we ever see apologies from people here and elsewhere for attacking the honorable military service of a man who spent over two decades serving his country?

No, no apologies to cowards.
