Tim Walz, Kamala Harris VP Pick, Faces Stolen Valor Allegations
Aug 11, 2024, 09:11 PM
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is facing intense scrutiny over allegations of 'stolen valor' following his selection as Vice President Kamala Harris's running mate. Accusations have surfaced that Walz misrepresented his military service, claiming to have served in combat zones such as Afghanistan and Iraq, which he did not. Walz reportedly implied he suffered from PTSD due to his service, although records indicate he never deployed to a combat zone. This controversy has been exacerbated by a newly obtained tape where Walz claimed to have been deployed to Afghanistan in 2004. Additionally, his former battalion commander, Colonel John Kolb, criticized Walz for falsely presenting himself as a 'Command Sergeant Major' and accused him of breaking his enlistment contract. Walz's military record, which includes nearly 24 years in the National Guard, has become a focal point of criticism, with calls for him to apologize and even resign.
