Yup. Probably should modify how he talks about it and/or lists it on his bio.
Like I said, similar to having a wrong exact job title on your LinkedIn profile.
National Guard Disputes Tim Walz's Military Biography

It's more like claiming that you are really smart. You bang your dead brother's wife. You then have all kinds of information on a laptop that you leave at a computer shop.
Fake? It's much to do about nothing. He didn't complete his training to retire as an E-9 so is drawing pension on 24 years as an E8 instead. He also retired before unit received activation status. He could have been stopped loss if deemed necessary by the MN Guard but that didn't occur. But Admiral Bone Spurs...
We need to make mental gymnastics an Olympic sport and let MAGAts bring home the gold.
Torbee another specific to the "title" portion he is looking at is this weird bit.
He WAS a CSM it's perfectly acceptable for him to call himself a "former csm" his problem is all his marketing material said "retired csm" which he knowingly was not.

I hear Tim Walz kills puppies for fun. Many people are saying it. It just keeps getting worse and worse for this guy.

Please, please, PLEASE let the Trump campaign keep talking about this! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Walz retired from the Minnesota Army National Guard's 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery in 2005 after more than 24 years in service, the Minnesota Army National Guard told CBS News.
Walz first enlisted in the Nebraska Army National Guard in April 1981, serving as an infantry senior sergeant and administrative specialist. In 1996, Walz transferred to the Minnesota Army National Guard, where he first worked as a cannon crewmember and field artillery senior sergeant.
Minnesota National Guard spokesperson Lt. Col. Kristen Augé told CBS News that Walz "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."
Walz earned several Army commendation and achievement medals during his more than 24 years of service.
Walz deployed in August 2003 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The Minnesota National Guard told CBS News the battalion supported security missions at various locations in Europe and Turkey. Walz was stationed at Vicenza, Italy, at the time and returned to Minnesota in April 2004.
The Minnesota National Guard told CBS News that Walz's unit — 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery — received an alert order for mobilization to Iraq on July 14, 2005 – two months after Walz retired, according to Lt. Col. Ryan Rossman, who serves as the Minnesota National Guard's director of operations. The official mobilization order was received on August 14 of the same year, and the unit mobilized in October.

I agree with you from a structure standpoint but in the military those words mean something and that's a Big ****ing deal.
And to my uneducated brain, he meets the text book definition, even after Obama tighten what that definition was.
Fact is, he was a Command Seargent Major and he is retired.
The desperation is thick with you guys.
Post is about moral authority. Unfortunately Trump “trumps” and morality that you claim.

Well, he’s retired. And he was a CSM.
Like I said - assistant manager/assistant to the manager.
Make a big deal out of it if you want 🤷♂️
He was a Command Sergeant Major when he retired. He was a CSM and is retired.He did not retire as a Command Sergeant Major
So desperate. Carry on - this is great stuff for Harris/Walz as it highlights just how wierd and insecure the Trump base is.
What morality did I claim? I said you guys were slipping. It took until post 12 for you to make it about Trump. Plenty of posts exist that display him being the huge POS that he is. This post is about another politician lying, which I guess is par for the course.
As respectfully as I can say this.
Please don't clutter this thread with your nonsense.
This has also been debunked but numpties like you will cling to it.
He put in his retirement papers many months before the unit's assignment to deploy.
Desperation.
You? Suggesting that to anyone else? BWAAAAAHAHAHAHA!
I think it’s more along the lines of just going to college for 4 years and failing out but still saying you have a degree.
He was in the guard going through motions but once he had to do something he failed and
One of the documents shows Walz reverted back to master sergeant from command sergeant major when he retired from the Minnesota National Guard in May 2005.
Army soldiers promoted to the rank of sergeant major or command sergeant major are required to attend the Sergeants Major Course, or what was formerly known as the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy.
Lt. Col. Augé, the Minnesota National Guard spokesperson, told CBS News that Walz 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.

I assume Walz was promoted to E9 for deployment. It happens all the time. Once back from deployment he would have needed to complete training to retain the rank. That seems to be why he didn't retain E9 post retirement. This is literally NOTHING
You’re a moron.
Now victim away…
He put in his retirement papers months before the unit assignment for deployment. He retired so he could run for Congress. He didn't quit anything and he achieved the rank of CSM. You've been duped yet again.
This is false. And you know that because it's been pointed out already in this thread. Yesterday you complained about people calling you stupid. This is a prime example why they do that. You are willfully ignorant.
So lying does or doesn't disqualify one for political office? Where did we land on this?
He left the guard and returned after 9-11. He was deployed during Operation Enduring Freedom for a year stationed in Italy in 2003. He retired before his battalion received orders to deploy again.
Buckle up..... he never deployed.
Chis.... do NOT be the guy that over looks stolen valor, have some god damn respect for what you and those before and since have gone through. I don't give a shit if you need to go dark as this plays out but have a little bit of a GD backbone.
Right now, on paper, it's a serious charge.

He was deployed to Italy for post 9/11 mission. Wrong again.
Do you even read the articles cited?

Operation Enduring Freedom was part of the Afghanistan mission. I was Operation Iraqi Freedom 1. OIF1. The initial Operation. They all went hand in hand. Walz was promoted for deployment. I had several people going from E5 to E6 or E4 to E5 while deployed. Once we returned they went to their respective schools to retain the rank.
