That’s nice. Excellent you’ve cleared this up. I’m more interested in the ways in which Walz advocated for military service members in Congress. I don’t believe Vance did the same in the Senate. |
This video accurately explains his career trajectory and retirement decision. In short, he had to put it retirement papers long before his unit was given orders that they would head to Iraq. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-amb1WOuRu/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== |
His wikipedia page? People don't make their own page, ya know. |
Yes, you have said this repeatedly. Maybe the difference between "served as a CSM" and "ranked as a CSM" is important to you. Maybe it is important to a lot of other people. But, the vast majority of people simply won't care. The guy served as a CSM. You don't dispute that. The technicalities of his actual rank is a paperwork issue. |
The training course he needed to complete was 750 hours in length. Or 94 working days. That’s A LOT of training for someone in the National Guard with an outside career. It would take years to complete. He was given ranks, responsibilities, and insignia of a CSM, but not the pay. Gee, sounds just like the corporate world - more responsibility, a fancy title change, but no money. He retired before he could complete the 750 hour course. |
If this is just a technicality, why did he felt the need to change it in his bio? I think he would be better of just to leave it as it was for all these years and just to explain the technicalities. I totally don’t care what was his rank in military. He served and I thank him for his service. |
Thanks for posting this. Love the way Tim talks about IVF and the struggles becoming a parent. |

Tim came with two strengths, sets Harris up as a moderate and as the more impressive member of the team.
None of the other possible picks could deliver on those two qualifications. |
Fight the pandemic and support families and businesses struggling with its public health and economic impacts - economic impacts ... trying to encourage more people to come back to downtown areas.

Hope I helped make the connection clear. |
Weirdos fixated on this trivia after it’s been explained remind me of the gun fetishists who have to engage in masturbatory discussion of every curve and line of each gun whenever kids get slaughtered and gun control is the topic. |
Don’t worry, there will be plenty of sanitary pads for the weirdos to put on their ears. |
They’re both from deep blue states full of hippies and left wingers. Moderate where? Minnesota is practically Canada |
Then the Republican ticket has absolutely nothing to worry about, and they'll totally crush it in November. |
