The guy in Nebraska that brought all that up has been pissed at him since they were in the Guard together and Tim got the promotion that guy wanted (which then he GOT when Walz left). I found his DB page, he's the local guy who is all about the military (and the local American Legion post) and sportsmen's (aka hunting) groups and his farm and dissing anything faintly liberal. He is one guy, who happens to be pretty hard core classic rural midwestern right winger who hates Democrats and progressives. And there are plenty of military vets who find it disgusting that he insults a fellow veteran.

Walz did 24 years. He trashed his hearing with howitzers so that he required surgery. He was in the Guard when we invaded Iraq in 1990, when the WTC and DC were hit, and a full 2 years into the Iraq invasion. I have no idea what his opinion was about that. I do recall that although I did not agree with the invasion, there was a moment when Collin Powell spoke when I thought the people in intelligence and the military know stuff we are not able to and maybe they're right. As it turned out, they didn't and they weren't.

It's pretty weird that otoh Vance complains "we were lied to" and that same people are going after Walz for choosing to run for Congress and retiring from the Guard. I mean really, if he did "chicken out" (for which there s zero evidence) doesn't that make him a winner in the Trump value system?

Tim never graduated from the SMA and thus was never promoted to SMA or CSM. He seras a CSM pending his successful completion of the SMA. When he retired, the SMA who replaced him had already graduated from the SMA and had to volunteer to take Tim’s place and leave his family and farm to do so. The CSM who volunteered to replace Walz spent 17 months in the combat zone with Walz’s former unit. He was already promoted beyond what Walz ever achieved because Walz didn’t graduate from the SMA. I don’t know what kind of disinformation you are trying to spread but it’s wrong to lie about a CSM who volunteered to go in Tim’s place and a Soldier who actually graduated from the SMA while you lie about his life and performance as a Soldier who deployed and served in combat.

Calling you out is not “disinformation “. You are being dishonest and yes, you’re going to be called out on that.

Lots of us understand how promotions and retirement work and your hyper-partisan spin on this man’s noble service is not going to fly.

What’s the dishonesty?

I - and others- have addressed that numerous times in a couple threads. I’m not going to engage with you. If you are or were ever in the service, your hyper partisanship is unprofessional, unethical, and a stain on the military. Be better.

Are you the poster that says is stalking CSM Behrends on facebook and misrepresenting and mischaracterizing his service? He actually served in combat as a CSM. CSM Behrends wasn’t “jealous” or envious of MSG Walz; he graduated from the SMA and had the higher rank. He took the leadership position that Walz walked away from and volunteered to do so. Behrends had no contact with Walz and was only familiar with Walz because Walz dropped out of the SMA and retired and the NG needed a CSM to lead enlisted personnel on a combat deployment.

You know, I don't care if you all wear yourselves out with this. But I hope you know how it reads to other people who've volunteered to serve and hear you being such nasty b**ches about a career that you should be applauding instead of denigrating and smearing.

Meanwhile your little orange liar has been smacked down by the VFW for his appalling comments about people who've served, and how they aren't as good as the rich donors who line his dumb pockets.

n the fall of 2005, the HHB&B/1-125 FA were again mobilized – this time to prepare for deployment in
support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The battalion trained at Camp Shelby Mississippi and was
augmented with elements from Kansas (B/1-161FA) and Kentucky (B&C/2-123AR), as well as nearly 150
individual replacements from 32 states and territories. Though still designated as Strike, 1/34 BCT, the
battalion prepared for a mission as a motorized security task force.
In the summer of 2011, the battalion mobilized and deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom
and Operation New Dawn. The battalion provided force protection at Camp Arifjan, Camp Patriot and S-
POD E in Southern Kuwait for a 10-month mission.

So the unit did not even go to Iraq till 2011? They just trained at camp Shelby? That was there deployment in 2005?

The claim that Walz "abandoned" his National Guard unit right before he would have been deployed to Iraq is a subjective allegation leveled by a small number of former National Guardsmen and Minnesota political activists. Having served in the Guard for 24 years, Walz was free to retire when he did.
Walz has never claimed to have served in a combat role in war. Such allegations are based on a single misstatement and are undercut by his consistent transparency about not seeing combat in other interviews.
Walz served as a command sergeant major, but did not retire at that grade because he did not complete the required training. The Guard has said, on numerous occasions, that it is accurate for Walz to state that he has served at that rank.

This kind of end this BS.

Regardless, Walz served for seven months as command sergeant major. When he decided to retire, he left without completing that training. As a result, his official retirement rank is a step lower. The demotion occurred after he left, and it was administrative, not punitive. The change primarily affects Walz's military-retirement package.

The Minnesota National Guard has regularly stated that it is appropriate for Walz to say he "served as" command sergeant major. Capt. Holly Rockow, a public affairs officer for the Minnesota National Guard, told Minnesota Public Radio in 2018 that it "is legitimate for Walz to say he served as a command sergeant major."

Walz is a national treasure. A great role model for my son and men and dads and teachers.

I served in combat- with Infantry and Armor. Volunteer. I don’t hear any republican, conservative, or Trump supporter calling Walz a nasty bi*ch. Walz left his unit before their 22 month deployment.
