How about Newsweek?
National Guard disputes Tim Walz's military biography
The Minnesota National Guard said Walz retired as a "master sergeant," not a "command sergeant major," as his biography states.

Walz is not a retired sergeants major, command or otherwise

CSM is both a rank and a position.
He served in the position, but didn't attain the rank.

Not sure what your point is. He had the position, he could rightfully called a Sergeant Major...

having retired in 2005 as command sergeant major for the 1-125th Battalion of the 1st Brigade Combat Team
Nope. He was reduced in rank after he retired. His rank was command sergeant major while on active duty. Again, you are simply dishonest.

Army Lieutenant Colonel Kristen Augé, the state public affairs officer for Minnesota National Guard, told Just the News on Wednesday that the governor did not retire as "Command Sergeant Major Walz" in 2005, as stated on Minnesota's official website, but as master sergeant "because he did not complete additional coursework at the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy." A soldier who does not complete the requisite coursework is automatically demoted, according to Army regulations.
How can the Minnesota national guard dispute something they put on the national guard website?
By the way it's a misquote.
"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,"
Minnesota National Guard confirms VP nominee Tim Walz demoted, calling into question official bio
Gov. Walz's biography boasts a higher National Guard rank than he retired with after he was automatically demoted for failing to fulfill obligations of his promotion. He also bailed out on his unit before deployment in Iraq.

So yet again quoting misleading information.
So, what does that mean? He had the responsibilities, was referred to by the rank of Command Sergeant Major, was even paid as a command sergeant major on active duty. So why can't you simply be honest. Why do you need to claim he lied when he refers to himself as in the rank he retired? Are you really that freaking petty and dishonest?

Your reference is written by Sgt. Mary Flynn
My correction comes from Army Lieutenant Colonel Kristen Augé
Your correction dropping the qualification in the statement you mean. For BENEFIT PURPOSUS.
In other words, not only are you claiming that a person only has a rank when that person completes all the requirements stated in the regulations for that rank. Regardless of actually receiving the promotion and the benefits and responsibilities going with that rank. But you are claiming that referring to yourself in the rank you retired, regardless of receiving a promotion to that rank is a purposeful lie.
Again, MAC-7 you are a dishonest human being that is willing to lie to strangers to further your political affiliation. Not only a purposeless thing to do. But something that speaks badly of yourself as a human being. Now I'm done responding to obvious gaslighting, but you should be ashamed for disrespecting veterans for political affiliation.

I’m saying he was never more than an acting sergeant major
But his permanent retired rank is master sergeant

And held the position of Sergeant Major.
For instance, people still refer to George A. Custer as "General Custer", even though his flag rank was only a brevet rank, and he was returned to his permanent rank of Lt. Colonel after the Civil War.
