So the AG’s cousin Billy Bob who was a sergeant finds himself the 1SG of a company, and then a CSM of a Battalion, Brigade, or Division. I’ve seen this.

It's interesting that the same Minnesota National Guard people who apparently elevated him are now cr@pping all over him for bailing before deployment...

No, that’s not what I’m saying. What I’m saying is that somewhere in the Minnesota NG Walz had connections within the leadership, above his superior CSM Julin. These connections not only allowed him to retire, but bent the rules to allow him out of his obligations of enlistment term, SGM Academy requirements, and loyalty to his unit/men.

Walz is the classic “kiss up punch down” jerk.

He abandoned his men when they needed him—like all bad bosses in a time of crisis.
