Fair point on warrant officers. Subject to the old “the Army can waive anything if they want you bad enough” caveats though, wouldn’t he have...
You said the thread was not about whether he retired to dodge going to Iraq. It unequivocally was (that’s what nearly every single post in the...
No, a thread can be about more than one thing. But your assertion that it’s not about literally the only thing the OP discussed was a bit odd.
I can pretty definitively tell you he would not have gone up in rank. Assuming he had completed the educational requirements for his last...
The assertion that this thread is not about literally the exact thing the OP says is, I guess, interesting?
He has also stated things that unequivocally aren’t facts (that he carried guns in war, that he served for 25 years), and some things that are...
Correct, because he retired to avoid that responsibility. That’s what this thread is about. Good point. Upon a closer reading, I don’t think...
No one is contending it was illegal for him to retire, just pointing out that he did the exact opposite of what he himself acknowledged would be...
Guessing you must have deduced what CNN left out since we’ve now moved on from insisting it’s not true to off-topic meme spam. Glad I could assist.
The same thing that makes me uncomfortable about most politicians - it implies a somewhat narcissistic belief that no one other than them is...
“As Command Sergeant Major I have a responsibility not only to ready my battalion for Iraq, but also to serve if called on.” “4.2.2.4 If a...
I’ll do you a favor. There’s something big that CNN article isn’t telling you. See if you can deduce what it is from the post linked here:...
You may want to read the rest of the thread before relying on political ads as a source of facts, because there are some interesting facts...
He retired in May of 2021 to “focus on his campaign for Congress.” His campaign for Congress didn’t exist until February of 2021 (check the FEC...
He was promoted to CSM in April of 2005, retired in May of 2005, and then his rank was administratively reduced back to Master Sergeant for not...
He enlisted in the active duty U.S. Marine Corps in September of 2003. That was a pretty direct ticket to Iraq for most folks.
Ask Walz. That’s what this thread is about.
[IMG] It’s almost like a guy who has been a political candidate or office holder for 19 years has given more than one public statement over the...
Yeah I’m not saying Trump isn’t a crass fool, just noting that the reason people are talking about Walz’s military service is mostly because Walz...
I think his defense to this attack is largely semantics. It consists of saying “he couldn’t possibly have retired to avoid going to Iraq, how...
