If Tim Walz is so ‘damn proud’ of his service record, then why did he misrepresent it?
The Hill ^ | 8/16/2024 | Gregory Walker

Posted on 08/16/2024 3:06:14 PM PDT by The Old Hoosier

...Those unfamiliar with the National Guard activation and deployment process may not understand that this procedure is announced well in advance. Senior officers and non-commissioned officers in a unit being activated under Title 10 learn well before others of their impending call-up to go to war. Walz was in such a position, and he likely knew this when he submitted his retirement paperwork....

He liked the money and benefits.

Going some place dangerous?

Not so much.

Didn’t we call these units “weekend warriors?”

So today, we have CNN questioning the ‘wisdom’ of Harris’s price control scheme and now The Hill is questioning Walz’s misrepresentation of his service record. Perhaps another coup is in the works?

Steal a little valor, steal some votes...

Whatever looks good on the résumé. Maybe nobody will be fact checking.

Just that the people he was working beside in the Minnesota National Guard got a little tired of the blowhard puffery and called in to set the record straight.

Honor is a hard concept for some people to grasp.

Democrats lie, about everything, all the time.

Why did he think it made sense to claim a rank higher? He already have an admirable honorable service. BUT. It’s NEVER enough for marxists. They always need more and more and more.

Did Walz falsify his Ntl Guard retirement app?

Did Walz collect retirement pay at the higher rank he continually
claims or did he collect at his actual lower rank .....”master sergeant”?

I don’t see where it mattered to his political career. If it was just rank, 90% of voters would not recognize the difference in rank and the 10% who did would have thanked him for his service and would have been impressed with the actual rank attained. It’s the blatant lying about seeing action that ticks people off.

Yep. Compulsively.

And they wear their lies like a badge of honor.

Makes one wonder if they're followers (consciously or unconsciously) of that old feller the Bible called the Father of Lies.

Of course, we know the answer to that.

The free documentary.........thefallofminneapolis.com.........
had 10 million views in just months. It details Walz’s failed leadership in Minnesota.


Walz is Harris’ sap-happy grinning lap dog slobbering at her feet.........

A hefty govt VP pension awaits Walz together with all those tax-paid pensions he’s collecting now:
Ntl Guard pension, federal Congressional pension, state teachers pension, state governor’s pension.

Guy could be pulling in maybe $300,000 annually......
sucking off the backs of struggling taxpayers.

No wonder he’s always smiling.

I don’t think so. If they performed a coup again, it would really scare the regular Democrat.

Because he’s a lying demonrat and thinks no one would know better. Standard MO for them.

The first coup didn’t seem to faze them a bit. Their President and Vice President gathered a total of zero votes in the primaries. That’s real democracy!

Exactly what I have thought about it. This and other revelations about him lead me to think he has a very serious psychosis. His words and actions are beyond the typical narcissism that politicians display.

Look at the DNC convention as a tunnel. I don’t think Harris/Walz come out the other end.

I do think it’s weird how they talk about Trump getting rid of democracy, but they’re the first ones to do it, and their sheeple can’t tell the difference.
