Have They No Shame: Another Disgusting Tim Walz 'Stolen Valor' Moment at DNC

[Hollie]

Yes he was a Command Sergeant Major in terms of billet, rank, and E-9 pay grade.

WW

Until he wasn’t. He’s a silly poser.

 

[Hollie]

Incorrect. He was provisionally promoted and occupied the CSM billet, he was also paid as an E-9.

If he was in an "Acting" status, which has a specific meaning, he would have retrained his previous rank and pay grade. In other words he would have been designated "First Sergeant" and remained an E-8.

However he was provisionally promoted (and paid) to the rank of Command Sergeant Major at paygrade E-9.

WW

Yes. “Acting” has a specific meaning. It means when he never met the requirements for the rank of CSM, he needed to stop “acting” as though he could claim that rank.

 

[WorldWatcher]

Yes. “Acting” has a specific meaning. It means when he never met the requirements for the rank of CSM, he needed to stop “acting” as though he could claim that rank.

He wasn't "acting". In the military "acting" means you keep your current pay grade and rank, however you are designated to fill a function.

That is not the case with Walz, he was actually promoted to Command Sergeant Major and pay grade E-9. Such promotion was provisional, which is different than "acting". The provisions were TIG (Time in Grade) and completion of the CSM Academy to retire as an E-9.

He didn't meet the TIG requirement, so retired for benefits purposes as an E-8. The Academy is actually irrelevant since he didn't meet TIG.

So yes, Walz was an E-9 and actually promoted to Command Sergeant Major. He was not in an "acting" status. If he hadn't met the requirements for promotion to CSM he wouldn't have been promoted. Which has nothing to do with reversion to E-8 for benefits.

All military retirees are no longer in the position they held on active duty or while serving in the Guard.

Under this logic all military retirees are "posers".

Your slogans are a joke. Why perpetuate the Walz fraud unless it’s to placate your feelings?

Again your Swiftboating is weak

Especially when your candidate insults POWs, the Medal of Honor, Gold Star families and faked Bone Spurs to avoid the draft

Walz never met the requirements for a CSM rank. Too bad if that hurts your feelings.

 

[WorldWatcher]

Sure he did. He was promoted to CSM.

If he hadn’t he wouldn’t have been promoted.

You are confusing regiments to retire as and E-9 and requirements to be promoted.

What is you military experience? It’s not uncommon for civilians to confuse the two. Or some choose to ignore the difference for politics.

WW

 

[Jarlaxle]

Not one American in a hundred knows the difference between a "Command Sergeant Major" and a Sergeant Major. Do "we" know that as far as pay grade, they are the same? It is a title associated with a specific assignment, not a separate rank. When the assignment is over, you go back to "Sergeant Major."

It is not certain that Walz approved that introduction, and really, Who cares? All you need to know is that he spent 24 years being paid to - essentially - be ready when called, and when called, he took a powder.

Except he was never actually a Seargent-Major. He was a First Seargent.

Uhhh, he did not maintain that ranks as a result of not fulfilling the requirements to hold the CSM rank.

You’re just clueless.


Tissue?

No, RW is (as usual) dishonest.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Sure he did. He was promoted to CSM.

What a sleazy thing to do. Stolen Valor Walz was introduced to the DNC Clown Show as "Command Sergeant Major."

Have They No Shame: Another Disgusting Tim Walz 'Stolen Valor' Moment at DNC


It looks like the ballad of Tim Walz's stolen valor scandal just carries merrily on, even into the DNC in Chicago.

There’s a Federal law against that, right?

Where’s Garland?

Where’s Wray?

I believe there's a lot more sketchy shit about Vance than how he wore any uniform.

You're lying.

No, I'm retired military.

But lying about what?

That you have to meet the requirements before being advanced?

That you have to complete Time in Grade prior to being able to retire at that grade?

What specifically?

How do I know what veterans have said?

D'Oh!

More than 1,000 US military veterans and family members of veterans have signed on to an open letter condemning what they describe as “politically motivated attacks” on Democratic vice presidential pick Tim Walz’s military service by former President Donald Trump and his running-mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance.

The thousand-strong group of “veterans, veteran families, military families, caregivers, and survivors” said they are all “appalled” at the attacks on Walz, who retired from the Minnesota Army National Guard after a 24-year career that saw him ascend to the rank of command sergeant major, the highest rank for any enlisted person in the Army.

This is a losing issue for you haters. So I guess us true patriots should be thanking you.

btw, Tm McVeigh/Lee Oswald - vets

and...

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."

Minnesota National Guard officials weigh in on Walz service

"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, as his May 2005 retirement date came months before the 1-125th Battalion of the 1st Brigade Combat Team learned they would mobilize and most of a year before the unit was actually deployed to Iraq for what would become a historically long, 22-month tour."

"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.”"

This has all been said before by myself and others here, and especially by others in Walz's previous campaigns.

Tam[om Tim Lies like a rug. He was never in Afghanistan... Even weekend warriors have no time for Walz.
