Harris camp ducks questions on why Walz retired from military before completing coursework for high rank

The Harris campaign dodged answering questions about why Gov. Tim Walz did not complete the required coursework to retire from the Army National Reserves with the high-ranking title of command sergeant major – a rank he’s repeatedly claimed having attained despite retiring as a master sergeant.Walz served 24 years with the Army National Guard, retiring in 2005 after he and his battalion were deployed to Italy in 2003 to support U.S. operations in Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. After returning from Italy, Walz was promoted to the command sergeant major rank, but he did not complete coursework with the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy to retain the rank in retirement. Walz instead retired as a master sergeant, one rank below command sergeant major.Fox News Digital reached out to both the Harris campaign and Walz’s gubernatorial office to ask why Walz did not complete coursework with the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy before retiring from the Minnesota National Guard in 2005, and both did not provide comment to explain the decision.Instead, the Harris campaign directed Fox Digital to a Minnesota Public Radio article from 2018, when a public affairs officer for the Minnesota National Guard told the outlet that “it is legitimate for Walz to say he served as a command sergeant major.”FORMER LEADER OF WALZ’S BATTALION PUBLISHES SCATHING MESSAGE AIMED AT GOVERNOR’S MILITARY CAREER: REPORT”[The public affairs officer] said the rank changed because Walz retired before completing coursework at the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy along with other requirements associated with his promotion,” the article explained. Fox News Digital again asked the campaign for comment as to why Walz did not complete the course work but did not receive a follow-up reply. WALZ ACCUSATIONS OF ‘STOLEN VALOR’ PROMPT BATTLE BETWEEN HOUSE VETERANSLast week, the Harris campaign updated its biography for Walz to omit a reference that he is a “retired Command Sergeant Major,” correcting the bio to show Walz “served as a command sergeant major.”Walz’s military record with the Army National Guard has come under increasing scrutiny since last week, when Vice President Harris named the Minnesota governor as her 2024 presidential running mate. After the announcement, veterans began sounding off on social media and to the media with criticisms of Walz’s “stolen valor.”Walz has previously publicly used language suggesting that he deployed to war zones during his 24 years of service with the Army National Guard, including that he would like to ban the kind of guns he had “carried in war” and describing himself as a retired command sergeant major. Walz was never deployed to a combat zone in his decades of service. The Harris campaign said last week that Walz “misspoke” when he claimed he carried firearms “in war.” JD VANCE ACCUSES TIM WALZ OF ‘LYING’ ABOUT MILITARY SERVICE: ‘STOLEN VALOR GARBAGE’”In making the case for why weapons of war should never be on our streets or in our classrooms, the Governor misspoke,” campaign spokesperson Lauren Hitt told the media. “He did handle weapons of war and believes strongly that only military members trained to carry those deadly weapons should have access to them, unlike Donald Trump and JD Vance who prioritize the gun lobby over our children.”Walz retired ahead of his unit – 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery – deploying to Iraq in 2005, and he launched a successful congressional run in Minnesota. Walz served in the U.S. House from 2007 until 2019, when he launched his campaign for Minnesota governor. He is currently serving his second term as the Gopher State’s governor. VP KAMALA HARRIS PICKING GOV TIM WALZ AS RUNNING MATE MET WITH MEDIA SCORN: ‘SUCH A WEIRD CHOICE'”Walz left the National Guard in May 2005 after 24 years of service. His unit was not given deployment orders to Iraq until July. He had put his retirement papers in 5-7 months prior to his retirement in May,” the Minnesota National Guard said in a statement last week as questions mounted around Walz’s military career.”Second, there are questions about whether he served in OEF. His battalion was sent to Europe, in his case Vicenza to train units in artillery – his specialty was artillery. If you are deployed overseas in support of OEF according to the National Guard you officially served in OEF, whether you touched foot in Afghanistan or not. That is in his official military service record below,” the statement added.

Are the blogs still alive?

Mun for @asktehkoopz here! Mine is definitely one of my lowest priorities atm, so it's a vague "maybe".

I asked @askboompom, and their answer is a resounding "No". I imagine the same may be for @bfcas as well, but I can't speak for them.

pick 20/23 oscar categories LIKE ME for the second year running all you have to do is pay attention to the BFCA BAFTA SAG Globes and most of the industry guild awards and YOU TOO! can miss best actress and lose all credibility with the casuals who don't care that you PICKED elephant whisperers for best documentary short and you PICKED irish goodbye for best live action short and you EVEN PICKED top gun for best sound because the industry guys wanted to get it something and they'd probably throw it sound over cinematography. ALL THIS!! could be yours also at the risk of having to admit that you ignored Yeoh's SAG win in favour of Blanchett's BAFTA+BFCA pickups, like a FOOL !

The Critics' Choice Movie Awards (formerly known as the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award) is an awards show presented annually by the American-Canadian Critics Choice Association (CCA) to honor the finest in cinematic achievement. Written ballots are submitted during a week-long nominating period, and the resulting nominees are announced in December. The winners chosen by subsequent voting are revealed at the annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards ceremony in January. Additionally, special awards are given out at the discretion of the BFCA Board of Directors. This award is also an indicator of success at the Academy Awards.

The awards were originally named simply Critics' Choice Awards. In 2010, the word Movie was added to their name, to differentiate them from the Critics' Choice Television Awards, which were first bestowed the following year by the newly created Broadcast Television Critics Association. The name Critics' Choice Awards now officially refers to both sets of awards collectively.

Don’t forget the characters you love our people

who doesn’t want a fantine playing back stage with a little cosette

or an eponine teaching a marius how to play paper football

a phantom and raoul laughing about a meme

a maria and tony sipping coffee

a hamilton feverishly typing on his phone

a cady and regina giggling together

and Anya and her sisters telling jokes

Their humanity doesn’t negate the world they create. In fact, it enhances it.

So Cait got nominated for the Critics Choice Awards

http://www.criticschoice.com/critics-choice-awards/

Best Actress in a Drama Series

Caitriona Balfe – Outlander (Starz)

Christine Baranski – The Good Fight (CBS All Access)

Claire Foy – The Crown (Netflix)

Tatiana Maslany – Orphan Black (BBC America)

Elisabeth Moss – The Handmaid’s Tale (Hulu)

Robin Wright – House of Cards (Netflix)

No sign of Sam or the show, though. Sad. But still happy for Caitriona, she deserves every bit of the nomination.

Awards Season is in full swing and so are the packages hitting my front door ranging from screeners to leather bound scripts to Christmas ornaments and film collectibles. Quite exciting and overwhelming all at once for me and Mummy. But, it feels like the holidays came just a tad early. I’m trying to be cool and yet I really just wanna run out in the street and scream with pure unadulterated glee🤣🤣🤣🤣 #criticschoice #critic #BFCA #AAFCA #LAOFCA #OAFFC https://www.instagram.com/p/B5PZMLDnDHu/?igshid=i991x39bscdm
