Why would any branch of service promote a guy to a higher rank before he completed all of the requirements to achieve that rank?Uhh, yes, moron:
Though Walz did achieve the rank of command sergeant major, it was a provisional rank until he completed required coursework for senior leaders, National Guard officials said. He did not do so by the time he departed the military and his retirement rank reverted to master sergeant on May 15, 2005, officials said. Walz retired the next day.
Tim Walz’s military record, National Guard departure get new scrutiny
The Harris-Walz campaign has cited his military experience as an asset. But Republicans and some who served with him have questioned claims about his service.web.archive.org

Really just 1. SGM is a lateral promotion to CSM. Both are E9’s and a MSG is an E8. Still not a good look though. If he did not complete coursework at the academy, he failed and it would be annotated on his 1059.
Rifle believes the Behrends guy is as far from unbiased as is possible. Where does that put rifle?
Fair point. I was referring to rank structure not pay grade but you are correct in terms of technical rank. Regardless he didn't complete the course.
Don't forget that Joe Biden didn't call military personnel suckers and losers and didn't say John McCain wasn't a war hero.
What the fvck is a "cock pocket," dork? You said another name earlier today that was just as stupid. Again, stop trying to be something you're not. You look like a moron.
The guy who has said Biden is a piece of shit for four years and who said that Kamala is an awful candidate is biased in favor of the Dems? Briliant.
Walz, 60, enlisted in the National Guard on April 8, 1981 at the age of 17. While serving, he held multiple positions within field artillery, including firing battery chief, operations sergeant and first sergeant, and he culminated his career serving as the command sergeant major for the battalion, said Lt. Col. Kristen Augé, the Minnesota National Guard’s state public affairs officer.
Walz retired in 2005 as a master sergeant because “he did not complete additional coursework at the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy,” Augé said. Command sergeants major who don’t complete the Sergeants Major Course revert back to their prior rank, she explained.
Kamala Harris taps Tim Walz, National Guard veteran, as running mate
Harris' running mate served in the National Guard for 24 years and championed veterans' issues in Congress for six terms.www.militarytimes.com
I commend you on your efforts to dumb this down for yourself, but that still doesn't mean you have any real understanding of what you're talking about OR what happened in this situation.
No one, and I mean NO ONE, would opt to not complete coursework. No one would choose to miss out on the additional prestige and money towards retirement by dropping down in rank that hard.
It isn't as simple as E-9 to E-8. A CSM in the Army is as high of enlisted rank as you can earn besides Sergeant Major of The Army (also E-9). There had to be a reason for the man to do this, and it's anything but honorable.
The enlisted men in his company told us why; he pussed out and was too scared to deploy. Basically, he was fine being a weekend warrior until it was time to get called into combat. He (like @extragreen ) is a traitorous bastard, dodging his obligation to answer to the call of duty.

He waa busted down in rank
Just like Specialist John Doe who gets busted down to PFC for insubordination.

Exactly. A CSM getting busted down to MSG is rare as shit. Like rarely would happen and it would take a Hugh ranking officer to do it.
You are a lying idiot.

Yet, he did grope children, say black people aren't black, berates half of America, promotes killing children, promotes impossible surgeries on children in an attempt to change their genders, promotes men showering with little girls, men sharing rest rooms with little girls, men dressing up like female prostitutes and reading to our children in schools and taking precious resources Americans need, especially children and giving them to illegal foreign nationals that he lets invade our country.....
You must be proud.
It's truth, not bias. If you were honest with yourself you would agree..
Their policies are destroying our country, cock pocket.
This guy is remarkably consistent in these types of endeavors. Give him papers that remove the rights of parents, shut down churches or public spaces, raise taxes on investments or business....he will sign it immediately, no questions asked.
Offer him an opportunity to invest in himself or his family's future, enforce laws that keep a city from burning- protecting law abiding citizens and property owners, be expected to do his job and lead men on deployment....he runs for the hills.
He is either a competent, manipulative Bolshevik or a typical incompetent, lazy govt subsidized bureaucrat. Which is it Dems?
Ughhh yehh and that is just part of it wirh this guy. He claims to have went to war. Avoided a deployment. Claims false rank.
And he wants to be a leader?
Denying facts is no way to go through life. Try to disprove anything of what I posted. You can't.
You know, calling them lies, doesn't make them any less of a fact.
Try to show how they are lies. You can't.
That's why you just post the same stupid phrases over and over again. Because if you could show or prove differently, you would. Those are his polices and his actions.
If Commie-la and her fellow commie wins, expect more of the same and worse.
I don't think you realize that this doesn't mean what you think it does. "Shouldn't not count" means it actually should count. This is why it's stupid for you to call others "dumbass," dumbass.
Let me dumb it down for you:
You're trying to say that "illegal, foreign nationals" shouldn't count. Yet by adding "not" in, it negates your entire attempt.
No he a commie. That clown installed one of those hot lines to call on your neighbor or other people during covid. That is commie level Stalin shit.

I don't care that he has cheated on 3 wives. You probably voted for Clinton also. Obama is reported to have had butt sex with a man.
Way to weaponize the DOJ on a political opponent.
You don't know that he did.
He was never going to get a fair trial that crazy bimbo brought.
