Tim Walz Faces Stolen Valor Accusations
News summary

Tim Walz, the gubernatorial nominee for Kamala Harris, is facing serious allegations of 'stolen valor' based on claims about his military service. Former battalion commander John Kolb has publicly criticized Walz for misrepresenting his rank, stating that Walz did not earn the title of Command Sergeant Major and did not fulfill the necessary assignments. Kolb's remarks highlight that Walz retired at the rank of Master Sergeant after leaving his unit just before it was deployed to Iraq. The Harris campaign has already adjusted Walz's official biography to clarify these claims, removing references to his alleged higher rank. In social media posts, Kolb and others have condemned Walz's actions as disrespectful to the Noncommissioned Officer Corps, suggesting that his early retirement was opportunistic. As the controversy unfolds, it raises questions about Walz's credibility as a vice presidential candidate.
