Because of the Letter of Reprimand that he received for using his official position to pressure soldiers to join the National Guard Association, the Army refused to grant him Federal Recognition for his promotion to Brigadier General. This occurs very rarely and Walsh was forced to retire as a Colonel.
Walsh is a liar, a cheater and a thief. Did anyone ever find that $23,000,000 of federal stimulus money that was “lost” in his department? He listed his branch as “Ordinance” at the Army War College, but he’s wearing the Combat Infantryman’s Badge (CIB). I thought you had to be an Infantryman to wear the CIB? Where did he buy, I mean get, his Bachelor degree? I’ve seen four different universities listed.
What kind of people would promote a guy like this? I guess people just like him.
