<p>The first Green Beret to serve in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Congress</a>, Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL), wants Minnesota Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tim-walz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tim Walz</a> to clarify his military record now that he is running to become vice president on the Democratic Party&#8217;s 2024 ticket.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’ve seen the reports on Tim Walz’s military record and he has some explaining to do,&#8221; Waltz said in a post to X on Wednesday.</p>
<p>In a video he also shared, Waltz said there is a &#8220;lot of discussion&#8221; within the veterans community about Walz&#8217;s more than two decades in the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/06/us/politics/tim-walz-harris-vp-facts.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Army National Guard</a> and that it &#8220;boils down to two issues,&#8221; which the congressman then explained.</p>

<p>&mdash; Rep. Mike Waltz (@michaelgwaltz) <a href="https://twitter.com/michaelgwaltz/status/1821192279974895761?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 7, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;One is the fact that he&#8217;s described himself over his political career as a sergeant major, as the highest enlisted rank in the Army,&#8221; Waltz said. &#8220;He was promoted to sergeant major, but then in order to stay in that rank, you have to complete certain training. You have to complete the sergeant major&#8217;s academy, which he never did. So he was subsequently demoted to master sergeant before he retired.&#8221;</p>
<p>Waltz said there are &#8220;a lot of questions&#8221; about how Walz, who is now hitting the campaign trail with Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a>, should be describing himself. &#8220;I think those are fair to ask, and he should answer them,&#8221; Waltz added.</p>
<p><b><a href="http://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1722714742764000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1XzmEsRwzti1RFNuISwYgd">WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI</a></b></p>
<p>And the &#8220;bigger issue,&#8221; according to the Republican, is Walz &#8220;walking away from his soldiers after they had been called to go to Iraq.&#8221; Waltz noted that he commanded Green Beret and said, &#8220;Everything that you do prepares you for that moment when you have to lead your men and women into harm&#8217;s way.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a football reference, Waltz continued, &#8220;It&#8217;s kind of like the quarterback of a big team walking away from their team right before they go to the Super Bowl. I&#8217;ve never heard anything like it, especially the fact that he was a command sergeant major. I&#8217;ve never heard of a commander or a sergeant major stepping away from their unit before they go down range.&#8221;</p>
<p>Waltz concluded his video by urging reporters to press Walz on his military record.</p>
<p>&#8220;The media needs to do their job and ask these tough questions and Walz needs to answer them,&#8221; Waltz said. &#8220;The veterans community, for one, is demanding an explanation of why he didn&#8217;t fulfill his duty as a command sergeant major and go into harm&#8217;s way with the men and women he was leading.&#8221;</p>
