What You Should Know about Governor Tim Walz

So, Cacklin’ Kamala picked Tim Walz for VP. Did her staff even bother to vet him? How could they not have known he lied about his military record in more ways than one. He is on tape saying that “We can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried into war is the only place where those weapons are at.”

“To most people, that would mean that he was actually in combat, carrying a weapon in a combat zone and getting combat pay and in a dangerous and hostile environment where he is getting shot at,” per retired Command Sergeant Major Thomas Behrends. Behrends was in Walz’s battalion said the Minnesota governor was misleading the American public about his military career. 

He stated this on  a TV interview with Laura Inghram’s Ingraham Angle, Walz retired from the Guard when he learned that it would be deployed to Iraq. He was never in a combat situation.

Look, I commend and admire him for his 24 years of service as I would anyone else. But he lied and exaggerated about it. That’s routinely called “Stolen Valor,” and it is a crime.

Walz also claimed that he retired as a Command Sergeant Major. He did not. According to Behrends, “He's used the rank that he never achieved in order to advance his political career," he said. "I mean, he still says he's a retired command sergeant major to this day, and he's not."

Behrends said Walz had been promoted to command sergeant major in 2004, but claimed he was required to serve two additional years, or the promotion would be void. His early retirement terminated the promotion, reducing his rank to master sergeant According to Behrends, "What he did, basically, was he quit. He didn't complete that condition of doing two years after graduation, so he gets reduced to a master sergeant, and that's what he is right now, is a retired master sergeant.

“From what I get from the soldiers that I went to Iraq with, probably 98% of them are completely against him embellishing his record," Behrends continued. "Don't try to make it look like you were a command sergeant major. Don't try to make it look like you were going to some place that was in support of Operation Enduring Freedom … that's just all embellishment and lies to try to make things look better."

Walz's team did not immediately respond to a request for comment from "The Ingraham Angle." 

Tom Schilling, who also said he was a member of Walz's battalion, slammed his actions as "dishonorable" during an interview on Jesse Watters Primetime.

"I have my stories about what he did to the military, when he left us like that, and I was kind of like, Are you kidding me?" Schilling said, recalling his reaction when he heard Harris tapped Walz as her running mate.

"We all did what we were supposed to do, we did the right thing, and it's dishonorable what he did," Schilling continued. "He left somebody else to take over his spot. He just ditched us."

Now, the Democrats and their pals in the mainstream media are saying that he “didn’t know” that they were going to be deployed, because they didn’t get the order to do so until after he left. But Walz said he was a Command Sergeant Major. The problem for Waltz is that a Command Sergeant Major of a unit knows well in advance—a year or more in a case like this one—that a deployment is coming. They don’t just drop that on you three months before they leave, unless it’s an emergency. That’s true of a reserve component unit like the National Guard or Reserve.

In my opinion, Tim Walz retired before completing that commitment he incurred—that is credible evidence that he retired to avoid the deployment.

I’ll have a lot more about Waltz in upcoming blogs. Put any comments on mywebsitewhere my blog is posted athttps://www.FrankVictoriaAuthor.com/blog
