Warriors call out Walz

News summary

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz faces growing scrutiny over his military service claims, particularly regarding allegations of 'stolen valor' and misrepresentations of his rank and combat experience. Although he served 24 years in the Army National Guard, he retired as a master sergeant (E-8) but has often referred to himself as a retired command sergeant major (E-9), a title he never fully attained. Critics, including veterans and fellow politicians, assert that Walz retired shortly before his unit was deployed to Iraq, with claims that he circumvented the proper chain of command to do so. Republican officials, including Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears and Representative Warren Davidson, have condemned his actions, arguing that they undermine the sacrifices of actual combat veterans. Walz's spokesperson stated that he 'misspoke' regarding his combat experience while advocating for gun control measures. The controversy has intensified following his nomination as Vice President Kamala Harris's running mate, prompting both political and public backlash.
