You have achieved willful ignorance at this point. Not only are you not sharing facts but you are rationalizing to fit your agenda. You don't present facts, you present wishcasting.
1. By the time Walz left the military, he achieved the rank of command sergeant major, one of the top ranks for an enlisted soldier. Personnel file records show that he was reduced in rank months after retiring, leaving him as a master sergeant for benefits purposes. Capt. Holly Rockow, a public affairs officer for the Minnesota National Guard, said it is legitimate for Walz to say he served as a command sergeant major. (Source, 2018)
2. So you, and that X user, don't understand how military operations work. Operation Enduring Freedom was global. It was not just contained to Afghanistan. And the Minn NG itself has confirmed both his duty station and participation in OEF.
"Walz deployed in August 2003 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The Minnesota National Guard told CBS News the battalion supported security missions at various locations in Europe and Turkey. Walz was stationed at Vicenza, Italy."

3. "And we can make sure those weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place those weapons are at". Trained to use said weapons, had to use them at least 1 weekend per month and 2 weekends every year for 24 years plus months on deployment to Italy for Operation Enduring Freedom. That was in support of a war. he didn't say he shot enemy soldiers, he didn't say he was on the front lines, he said he was carrying weapons of war in a war (OEF) and doesn't want available them outside of the military.
4. This is a repeat of item 1. Repetition doesn't increases the validity. That's a Trump tenet.
5. 'Julin said he was most upset with how it was handled because Walz didn’t come to him.' "He went around my authority to get out of the position. I probably would have told him ‘No, you’re going on the deployment,’” Julin said. He salty. He's mad Walz didn't consult him before registering with the FEC as a candidate and not going directly to him for discharge (which is not required. You DO NOT have to get permission for your immediate COC to get your DD-214 (discharge from service). That is the purview of the commissioned officers and their respective Reserve Personnel Command. Julin actually would not have a say in the matter. If he qualified for retirement, Julin would be breaking federal law by denying (even if he had the authority). We done? |
