Original Note:
Walz was not demoted from Sergeant Major, nor did the National Guard claim so. Demotion in the military is for misconduct, performance or broken rules. Waltz retired before completing his required coursework, thus was retired as master sergeant for benefits purposes. https://x.com/StolenValor1/status/1820863640242684021?t=wGQdx04IoBA_GJ20MeH1uw&s=19 https://soldierforlife.army.mil/Documents/Retirement/USArmy_RetirementPlanningGuide.pdf https://militarypay.defense.gov/Pay/Retirement/ https://ec.militarytimes.com/guard-reserve-handbook/retirement/basic-plans/
