After Tim Walz retired from the National Guard, his unit, the 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery, did not deploy to Iraq. Consequently, the unit did not endure casualties in Iraq during that time. Tim Walz retired from the Army National Guard in 2005 as a Command Sergeant Major, and the 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery did not deploy to Iraq post his retirement--Via ChatGPT 4o query.
And we know elsewhere that record-wise, his retirement was as a Master Chief because he retired before the promotion was completed. He is guilty, in my opinion, of stolen valor for claiming to be a retired Command Master Chief. (It would have been so simple for him to say I reached the rank of Command Master Chief, but retired early as a Master Chief. Once again, lack of honesty trips up a politician!)

We are facing what one professor called the “Cartesian Crisis”.
