Tim Walz Faces Stolen Valor Allegations Over Military Rank Claims at DNC Meeting
Aug 19, 2024, 03:41 PM
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is facing allegations of 'stolen valor' after being introduced as a 'Command Sergeant Major' at a Democratic National Committee (DNC) AAPI Caucus Meeting. According to reports from the Minnesota National Guard, Walz retired as a Master Sergeant, not a Command Sergeant Major, due to his failure to complete the necessary requirements for the higher rank. The controversy has been fueled by statements from Sen. Tammy Duckworth, who incorrectly referred to Walz as a 'retired Command Sergeant Major.' Critics argue that Walz has falsely claimed the higher rank on multiple occasions, with some accusing him of abandoning his unit as they were deploying to Iraq.
