Kamala Harris’s disastrous and cowardly choice of Tim Walz as her running mate over Josh Shapiro – who was the logical pick and was shamefully passed over because he is Jewish – is simply more of the same with her. He’s a choice made from fear. She feared somebody who would be competition. She feared somebody who would be smarter, which really limited her choices. So she chose this guy, who no doubt told her exactly what she wanted to hear. This is her modus operandi. She’s afraid. She operates from fear, and now she has exactly the kind of sergeant major she wants by her side – one who will be sure to enable her worst instincts all the way to defeat.
You just know that Walz being in the Army checked a box for her – DEI hacks love checking boxes – and she didn’t look any deeper than that. No one around her did either. None of her flunkies ever served. None of them understand. They just thought that they could flash some pictures of Walz in his uniform strutting about, and that would be enough to nail down the votes of all the rubes with DD 214s. But what you don’t know can hurt you. And what she doesn’t know is that Tim Walz is going to alienate vets, except for the pinko blue falcons like the loathsome Vindmans and those Twitter goofs who insist you shouldn’t have an AR15 because they are experts, having once qualified “marksman” on an M4.
You can Google “blue falcon” if you want. Just don’t do it with kids around or on your employer’s computer.
Civilians aren’t going to understand this. It’s a veteran thing. Civvies will look at pictures of him in his BDUs or ACUs and think he looks STRAC. But vets know what they see when they look at this guy and it’s not good.
Am I questioning Tim Walz and his service? Yeah, because he has some questions to answer. He was in for 24 years. That seems impressive to civilians. It’s certainly not a bad thing. But you take one look at the guy through a veteran’s eyes, and you learn a little about his record (don’t worry, much more is coming out!), and he’s exactly the kind of guy vets despise. We all remember guys like him from our time in uniform. And like with John Kerry, his own compatriots are already blowing the whistle on him. You know, when your own peers serve you up, that’s an indicator.
He was a senior noncommissioned officer—a high-ranking sergeant who was frocked as a command sergeant major. You need to understand what a command sergeant major is. A command sergeant major is the man. He’s big. He’s the commander’s right hand, the one guy who can shut the door and tell the colonel to stop doing stupid things. I know because I had one, and I was successful because I listened to him. He was great. I know a lot of great sergeants.
And I know some duds. Guys who get DUIs, like Walz did – I know that in my Guard units that, a DUI would ensure he never got E6, much less E9. And then there are the striving CSMs who get in front of the troops and start yelling about how “We are the most powerful, lethal force on earth!” and also that “Diversity is our greatest strength! Trans awareness is a combat multiplier!” These schmucks repeat the lies and nonsense of careerist generals instead of telling their bosses that the troops need to be training to fight instead of marching for pride. There is nothing worse than a go-along sergeant major. If he’s not an occasional pain in a commander’s butt, he’s not doing his job. But that’s not what Kamala wants. She wants a yes-man.
But a good CSM is anything but. There are two kinds of sergeants major. One tells the commander, “Colonel, I’ll take care of this and you go do your job,” and then he goes and takes care of it. And there’s another kind who says, “Colonel, I’ll take care of this and you go do your job,” and then he goes and hangs out at the coffee bar with his cronies, gossiping and scheming for advancement. Walz has the second vibe. You can feel it. You can see it when you watch video of him as a civilian pol regurgitating commie bullSchiff about how socialism is just being a good neighbor and flip-flopping from NRA hero to gun-grabbing zero. Like his brat boss, he will be whatever he needs to be to get what he wants.
He wasn’t in a war, though he claimed to be - in a Kamala HQ tweet no less. When talking about breaking his oath to support and defend the Constitution, this turd said “We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, are only carried in war.” What war was that? Was he helping win the Tet Offensive with his fellow Democrat Da Nang Dick Blumenthal?
He wasn’t an actual command sergeant major either, only holding the rank temporarily contingent on passing the Sergeant Majors Academy course. But he didn’t do that. He quit. He took a coveted slot in a career-crowning military school away from somebody else. That’s not good. And then his unit got activated to go to Iraq and he decided he had to run for Congress and retired. That rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
His one deployment was to Italy to provide security on American bases. I certainly don’t hold that against him. You go where you’re told to go. If you think I was thrilled to go to Kosovo, you are incorrect. But that’s where my unit was going and that’s where I went. I had already been to Desert Storm and I already had my patch on my right shoulder. I ran a heavily armed car wash in the Gulf, so don’t confuse me with Audie Murphy; I’m not even Peter Murphy.
But being the unit’s senior NCO and not joining his battalion when it was alerted to be sent into combat will not get him a pass from the heroes of the global war on terrorism. They are free to question his service if they want to. They earned that right.
He’s just not going to play well with vets. When an officer vet looks at socialist Tim Walz, what they see is every NCO who ever screwed them over by not doing his job and by not supporting them. NCOs are going to resent him; they know his kind. And then there are the junior enlisted soldiers – in the Army, the privates and the specialists. The command sergeant major is supposed to take care of them. He’s not supposed to coddle them. He’s not supposed to pat them on the head, but he is supposed to be their voice and their advocate within the command. The command sergeant majors who don’t do that, who instead insinuate themselves in with the officer corps and refuse to stand up for the troops, are rightly despised. And the troops know those characters when they see them.
Kamala Harris picked Walz, in part, because he will kiss her fourth point of contact, and partly because he had been in the military. She thought that would instantly draw vets to the party that holds them in contempt. Not quite. There’s more to his story, and more will come out.
The facts are going to hit them hard, and the regime media will hit back in service of their candidate. Look for a giant backlash about how dare we “question his service.” They will say we are swiftboating him, which is not quite accurate because at least John Kerry went to Vietnam.
Regardless, we vets will do and say whatever the hell we want. We vets earned that right. We defended everyone’s right to speak freely, and we’re going to say whatever we damn well please. No one gets to give us orders anymore. Now that we’re out of uniform, our chain of command is God and then us, the end, and the regime media, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz aren’t in it.
We vets won’t be fooled by Walz like Kamala was. She made a huge mistake. And it’s time to counterattack and take advantage of it.
