Politico reports that the Harris Campaign has deleted the reference to Walz being a retired "Command Sergeant Major" from his campaign website bio.
THAT IS A CONCESSION the criticism is correct, and that it has done damage.
And that they did not know of this problem when he was named.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here.
Vance was in a non-combat role as a public affairs officer in the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing that was deployed to Iraq. That doesn't mean he was hiding behind a desk securely inside the base. It means he embedded with units on patrols to write their stories.
From Stars and Stripes - Vance credits service in Marine Corps for teaching him ‘how to live like an adult’
He spent his service working in public affairs, writing about Marines and taking photographs of their work, escorting civilian news reporters and speaking about happenings on base.Even as a non-combatant, Vance spent more time in combat zones than Walz.In Iraq, he embedded with different units to get a sense of their daily routines and wrote a story about a crew keeping KC-130J tankers in the air. He also waded into unprotected Iraqi territory with a civil affairs unit to meet with locals.
“I was lucky to escape any real fighting,” Vance wrote of his deployment.

Tip of the iceberg.
LOL!
Now it needs to explain that the “in support of” business was a trip to Italy and not a combat zone.
Come on Kamala, it’s 2024! why aren’t you touting Walz as being a ground breaker for the LGBQT crowd. In 1999, that’s right, 1999, Tim Walz was named the faculty advisor for THE FIRST STRAIGHT-GAY ALLIANCE at Mankato West High School. Same year he was a defensive coordinator, NOT THE HEAD COACH, for the football team.
Didn’t see that but found video on Rumble.
Thanks.
There is no way they can replace walz, he is everybody’s uncle don’t you know.
Command Sargent Major is a position and not a rank.
No different then I stating I left the Navy as a Division Leading Petty Officer.
Walz removed language against pedophelia in some law he signed.
Then, there’s https://gellerreport.com/2024/08/iraq-is-legalizing-child-marriage-at-age-of-9-years-old-like-their-prophet-muhammad.html/
REMF.
But on Reddit they claimed Vance was a poseur, and that Walz was a bona fide HERO.
Vance never claimed to be a combat vet, only that he served in Iraq.
And I'm sure Vance went where he was assigned.
I have WAY more respect for what Vance did that what Walz did.
Within a week the scrubbing of that info and its existence will all be misinformation according to the media and Facebook.
The perfect American....lol....
According to this Wikipedia entry, there are two ranks in the E-9 pay grade:
-PJ“Though Walz did achieve the rank of command sergeant major, it was a provisional rank until he completed required coursework for senior leaders, National Guard officials said. He did not do so by the time he departed the military and his retirement rank reverted to master sergeant on May 15, 2005, officials said. Walz retired the next day.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/2024/08/07/tim-walz-military-record/
Apparently he held the position of Command Sargent Major.
Will the Press-titutes ask Harris if she knew Walz’s claim to being a “Command Sergeant Major” was false when she agreed to pick him? If she didn’t know, who dropped the ball on the vetting? What else did they miss?
Asking Kamala questions about military rank is like asking a fifth grader if they knew that their father worked on nuclear fusion instead of nuclear fission.
Lol.
I wasn't replying to the rank that Walz held, I was replying to your post that there was no such rank at all of Command Sergeant Major.
