Stolen Valor: Tim Walz launched political career on false claim as combat veteran in the War on Terror


VP candidate told public and media that he ran for office after fighting in Iraq.

Bloomberg's Josh Green has not responded, but Bloomberg just edited his piece to swap out Iraq for Italy. The editor's note does not explain the so-called mistake in the reporting.

The Walz interview with The Atlantic still says that Walz served in a combat role in Iraq.

The stealthy Bloomberg edit may still be wrong.

More intel rolling in casting doubt into claim he went to Italy to support Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF)

Pentagon says deployments to Italy did NOT support OEF & are ineligible for the Global War on Terror Expeditionary Medal.

Vets, post your photo of you not being Tim Walz!

It was the most POG of POG deployments to the Middle East. Still, I went. And it was my second time, too.

@grok I think I got you beat in the POG race

Here I am on our Iraq deployment with the Minnesota Army National Guard, the very same deployment Tim_Walz bailed on.

@grok 🧵I have tried to take my time in responding to stories about Tim Walz's service record. The hypocrisy astounds me.

@grok Tim Walz' stolen valor EXPOSED by Command Sergeant major Paul Herr of MN Nat. Guard:

-

@grok ACCEPTED the position of Command Sgt Major.

He failed to take care to meet those responsibilities over 2+ years.

Then he retired to avoid deployment with troops trained by him. They went, he stayed.

@grok Minnesota National Guard confirmed Wednesday that Gov. Tim Walz, Kamala Harris' vice presidential running mate, was demoted and did not retire as a command sergeant major like he has claimed for years

@grok Minnesota National Guard confirms VP nominee Tim Walz demoted


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.

I've looked everywhere to hear the other side of this story and have yet to find it. Is this as black and white as it sounds? GovTimWalz unit got deployed to Iraq and he just bounced to run for Congress?

@grok You know what really bothers me about Tim Walz?
