Then tell us why the Harris campaign had to change the language on
their website?
"Regardless, Walz served for seven months as command sergeant major.
When he decided to retire, he left without completing that training.
As a result, his official retirement rank is a step lower. The
demotion occurred after he left, and it was administrative, not
punitive. The change primarily affects Walz's military-retirement
package.
The Minnesota National Guard has regularly stated that it is
appropriate for Walz to say he "served as" command sergeant major.
Capt. Holly Rockow, a public affairs officer for the Minnesota
National Guard, told Minnesota Public Radio in 2018 that it "is
legitimate for Walz to say he served as a command sergeant major."
Walz's opponents take umbrage with Walz saying he is a retired command
sergeant major due to this demotion. On Aug. 8, 2024, the Harris
campaign, which had originally described Walz as a "retired command
sergeant major" on its website, changed the language to more
accurately state that he served at the rank of command sergeant
major."
