So Walz scrubbed his official governor’s bio and is no longer in violation of the Stolen Valor Act (he voted Ya on). The campaign will later claim videos of him misusing the rank are cheapfakes.

lmao once again people making mountains out of mole hills and entirely misrepresenting the situation “Walz joined the National Guard at age 17 and served 24 years, first in Nebraska then Minnesota. During that time he got called up to national disasters and a deployment to the Arctic Circle in Norway. He completed his 20 years required for retirement in 2001, but then reenlisted after the attacks on Sept. 11. His only wartime deployment was to Italy in 2003, backfilling troops that were deploying to Afghanistan. So Vance, and many veterans on social media, took issue with Walz saying he’d carried weapons “in war.” The Harris campaign said in a statement: “In his 24 years of service, the Governor carried, fired and trained others to use weapons of war innumerable times. Governor Walz would never insult or undermine any American's service to this country -- in fact, he thanks Senator Vance for putting his life on the line for our country. It's the American way."”

People being the legislature which made it a federal crime. If the allegations weren’t legit, why did he update his governor bio to reflect exactly what those “mole hills” were saying? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolen_Valor_Act_of_2013 https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/08/harris-walz-military-credentials-00173236

“The Minnesota governor did serve as a command sergeant major but was reverted back to the rank of master sergeant when he left the military because he had not completed required coursework for the higher rank with the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy.” so people are losing their shit and claiming stolen valor bc *checks notes* he served as the position he says he did but didn’t complete COURSEWORK to retire with that specific title? lmfao wow yeah this is a super huge deal and he def shouldn’t be VP bc of this massive manipulation

If lefties would have encouraged Walz to update his official bio and offer an apology for the misunderstanding it would have been last week's news or not even news. Instead they choose to pretend it's not an obvious violation of the Stolen Valor Act. It's always the cover up, not the crime that always gets em.

how is it an obvious violation? from your exact link: “The law amends the federal criminal code to make it a crime for a person to fraudulently claim having received a valor award specified in the Act, with the intention of obtaining money, property, or other tangible benefit by convincing another that he or she received the award.” a rank is not a valor award, military honor, or decoration

Obviously fraudulent claims of military service for benefits fall under Stolen Valor. https://www.jordanucmjlaw.com/2023/01/what-is-stolen-valor-and-is-it-a-crime/?amp

you’ve provided an attorney’s interpretation of the law. the exact text of the stolen valor act is: “Whoever, with intent to obtain money, property, or other tangible benefit, fraudulently holds oneself out to be a recipient of a decoration or medal described in subsection (c)(2) shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than one year, or both.” rank is not included in “decoration or medal” this. i’ve included a screenshot directly from a government website of the exact language of the stolen valor act. in regards to your provision of the 600-8-19 regulation, that’s military regulation and ethics. not the stolen valor act… so like, what i’m saying is he didn’t violate the stolen valor act this is literally an ethical debate, not a violation of a criminal code. as i’ve said, mountain out of a mole hill https://www.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/house-bill/258

Literally the first sentence of the link you shared covers exactly what the "attorney's interpretation" says fyi.

"you've provided an attorney's interpretation of the law"....lool as if an attorney would know right??? Wowow. The military code automatically demoted him removing the ability to use the rank for benefits, stop trying to misdirect the conversation. One has to happen before the other, they are not simultaneous events.
