Tim Walz -- conduct unbecoming
By Frank Ryan
Shortly after Gov. Tim Walz was picked as Vice President Harris’s running mate, stories about stolen valor surfaced, with the focus being on then-Sergeant Major Walz’s leaving a military unit before a deployment.
For me, as a Marine veteran of almost 40 years, Walz’s conduct violated every principle of leadership that noncommissioned officers, staff noncommissioned officers, and officers hold as bedrock to their service to our great nation.
In the wake of the campaign controversy, Walz’s responses and lack thereof cause me even more concern. Such behavior cements my view that he does not understand his errors and is unfit to serve as a Vice President of the United States.
My reaction stems largely from the very dismissive attitude of the press to the issues surrounding Gov. Walz’s National Guard service. To most media, the story seems a “nothingburger,” a distraction, or political posturing at best.
