The latest MAGA line is that Walz is guilty of "stolen valor" since he didn't retire as a Command Sargent Major - even though he did attain the rank and serve in that role.
He retired as a Master Sargent since there was additional coursework he didn't complete as part of being a CSM. This was purely for administrative purposes and has nothing to do with his service.
This Xitter account verifies stolen valor claims and has been researching it. So far nothing of consequence - just MAGA being idiots.

Don’t see how WOTM could be anyone but Girma.
agreed but I think they rate goals too high. Girma was 8.1 fwiw.

LOL Sophia Smith's FOTMOB rating went from 6.3 at the half to 8.5 and MOTM.

Had to look up the genesis of the “Tampon Tim” nickname. Like the Olympic boxer, just more manufactured outrage about transgender stuff.

Phenomenal finish. Smith had been horrible until that point.

Many followers not familiar with the military are asking me “so what’s the big deal about a command sergeant major?”
Walz joined at 18 as a private. Rose through the NCO (sergeant) ranks, each requiring extreme competence at increasingly demanding jobs with more people & responsibility at every rank.
When you reach “Master Sergeant” you are selected to serve as a First Sergeant (1SG) of a unit…if you’re good enough.
Then, those 1SGTs compete for selection to Sergeant Major. Only the best Sergeant Majors are selected for Command Sergeant Major (CSM) billets.
CSMs serve as the senior enlisted person in the unit and the advisor to Commanders at battalion and above.
Having served with dozens of CSMs as my unit & command “battle buddy” I will attest they were all awesome. They know what they’re doing. They uphold standards. They speak their minds to all ranks (private to generals). They’re not afraid of getting bad news because they know how to fix things when they go wrong. And they serve the command (their commander and their soldiers) with a selfless integrity and a complete dedication.
During social events and informal occasions, they’re usually a whole bunch of fun. And they always have great stories. But they’re always professional. So, those are my thoughts on Command Sergeants Major.
While I don’t know the details of @GovTimWalz career wearing the cloth of our country, just the fact that he volunteered to serve and wore the CSM rank tells me a lot about him.

My oldest kid toured CU last week and the stupid guide wouldn't shut up about Deion ("Coach Prime"). He's definitely got a cult-like following there.

I swear, jobs reports exceeded all expectations damn near every time for the last 2 years and one bad one and we get this horseshit.
Based on what little I read the scope of the selloff is an overreaction and it's more related to interest rates than the jobs report.

I'm no finance bro, but it sure seems like the market panic last night/this morning was basically just wishcasting from right wingers?
Friday's jobs report and people want the Fed to cut interest rates now that inflation is under control.

men lost the 4x100 on the breaststroke leg IMO. fucking dopers...
Yup. Dude swam 1.5 seconds faster than his final time. You should be faster with a rolling start but not that fast.

I've watched Finke’s race three times now. It was fucking epic. I think that he found something that he didn't know he had.
This may not be the last WR he breaks.
The ladies fucking CRUSHED that relay. As great as the other three are I think that Lilly is going to be very hard to replace.

No way China’s breaststroke swimmer is clean. That's what won them that race.
