The following is an edited transcript of a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/podcasts/morning-wire/stolen-valor-the-truth-about-tim-walz-8-17-24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saturday Extra edition of Morning Wire</a>. Daily Wire editor-in-chief John Bickley sits down with retired Command Sergeant Major Thomas Behrends to discuss the controversy surrounding the military service of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
The military record of Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz has come under intense scrutiny – amid accusations that he has engaged in “stolen valor.” Walz has claimed to have retired at a higher level than he did – and that he had carried “weapons of war in war,” despite resigning before his battalion was deployed. A man who has drawn attention to the issue for years, Thomas Behrends, became the Command Sergeant Major of the battalion after Walz left his unit after learning that his battalion was being deployed to Iraq.
