Do Walz’s embellishments of his military career amount to stolen valor? Republicans are trying to get to the bottom of this issue.
From The Hill. The GOP continues to hammer Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz over his military record, with the Harris campaign quickly pivoting to quell fresh questions on his deployment during the Afghanistan War.
Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.
Walz’s 24 years in the Army National Guard have come under intense scrutiny by Republicans since he was tapped as Vice President Harris’s running mate, particularly on the question of whether he misrepresented his service.
In the latest attack, Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) — chair of the House Armed Services Military Personnel Subcommittee — sent a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin asking if Walz’s embellishments amounted to “stolen valor.”
The letter comes after a flurry of GOP lawmakers led by vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (Ohio) piled onto Waltz for leaving the guard ahead of his unit’s deployment to Iraq. …
In the Thursday letter to Austin, first reported by Axios, Banks writes of his concerns about how Walz represented his time in the guard.
“The American people deserve transparency into the military records of service-members who serve in public office and especially when they represent such service as credentials for public office,” he wrote. …
Harris’s presidential campaign quickly attempted damage control, issuing a statement Friday that asserts Walz “misspoke” in the video released by the campaign this past week, according to a campaign spokesperson. …
The campaign also updated its online biography of Walz’s military service, noting on its website that he once served at the command sergeant major rank. The change, first reported by Politico, is a small tweak from its earlier reference to the vice presidential nominee as a “retired command sergeant major.” …
Walz did serve as a command sergeant major while in the military, but he retired one step down as a master sergeant, as he had not completed required coursework for the higher rank. …
What do you think of Walz’s military career and claims? Share your thoughts and prayers below.

Trump misspoke, on 1/6…ok.
My thoughts….
“Misspoke”. Some of the synonyms listed on Merriam- Webster for misspoke: misinterpreted, misrepresented, misdescribed ,
distorted, garbled, falsified, disguised, cooked, camouflaged, masked, confused, twisted. The list goes on..
“Once served at the command of Sergeant Major” vs “retired Command Sergeant”.
National Guard. Active Duty.
Did Tim Walz “misspeak” on his rank during his campaign for Governor? Has he “misspoke” on any other issues? Will more “misspoking” be revealed?
Now campaigning as the “Joyful Warriors”, they are fighting, but not for the constitutional federal republic.
*********
LORD, Avenger of Your People, Thank You for revealing and thank You that more and more will be revealed.
Liberate us from the atrocities of this present age.
In the words of Anne Graham Lotz :
Give me discernment to detect:
his lies in contrast to Your truth;
his suggestions in contrast to Your commands;
his temptations in contrast to Your promises;
his destruction in contrast to Your salvation;
his pleasures that are fleeting,
his plans that are failing,
his purposes that are futile,
and his position that is fraudulent.
Therefore I choose to:
Wrap myself in the truth Your Word so that my thoughts, decisions, and actions are in line with what You say.
I will face the foe with nothing to protect my back because I am not turning around. I will not retreat. I will not back down. I will stand my ground, and having done all, I will keep standing firm.
For the glory of Your great name, JESUS
Amen
“But Jesus on His part did not entrust himself to them, because He knew all people and needed no one to bear witness about man, for He Himself knew what was in man.”
