+1 to you for providing a source. Kudos!
Just a heads up, that source isn't worth the toilet paper I used to wipe my butt with this morning.
A. He did serve as a Command Sergeant Major. Did he not?
B. To what little knowledge I do have, I don't think he was deployed to the Middle East while serving as a Command Sergeant Major but I also don't think he ever said he was deployed to the Middle East in that role. Can you or Yellow Hammer News provide one example of him doing as such?
C. I challenge you and Yellow Hammer News to provide one example of him claiming/stating/saying he was a Head Coach of a High School Football team.
If I wanted to waste the time, I could trace back to the "acceptable" source for you, but I don't have the time nor the interest. You're not changing your mind no matter what.
He was never Command Sergeant Major because he never finished the classwork necessary for it. It would be the equivalent of my wife's friend from grad school who never finished her dissertation claiming to be a Ph.D. It's just not true.
He also referred to "carrying a weapon" in the Middle East when, in truth, he dropped out of his unit as soon as he found out they were going to be deployed. Again, liar.
If you don't want to "waste the time" (to prove something you can't?) - so be it.
I PROMISE YOU if you could prove it, I would 100% change my mind.
Unlike some people on here, when someone proves me wrong, I usually eat my words, then try to recognize and realize the error/s I made, learn from them, apologize if I feel it is necessary/warranted, and I admit I was wrong.
I'm not going to "waste my time" trying to find when Walz "referred" to "Carrying a weapon" "in the Middle East". What I did spend a few moments of my time researching and learning is that he said on one occasion - "We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, are only carried in war.”
He absolutely deserves some ridicule for that if it's not true. Regardless if he misspoke or not.
You and I could argue semantics all day long about his military service/career but as I said, he absolutely did serve as Command Sergeant Major.
Regardless of all that, I originally asked you to provide a source (which you did - and I gave and still give you credit for doing - despite the source not proving what it claims) that states he said he was a Head Football Coach. What I meant to say/request is for you to provide a source that PROVES he said it.
I wasted a little bit of my time trying to find one. I was unsuccessful. Just as I figure you would be if you "wasted your time".
