Tim Walz edit

  Hello. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. Please be aware that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reverts on a single page within a 24 hour period. Rather than reverting edits, please consider using the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. The dispute resolution processes may also help. Excessive reverting may result in a loss of editing privileges. After creating a new account, you've made three reverts in less than 24 hours as seen here: 1st, 2nd, 3rd. You should be seeking consensus on the Talk Page and building support for changing the article instead of making repeated reverts in an attempt to force your desired change to the article's content.

There is no grey area, Army Regulations and documentation is very clear. Unless you held a billet as MOS 00Z and completed relevant PME, you cannot claim to have held the rank of Command Sergeant Major. Unless there is documentation produced which I cited as the NGB 22 or 23 form. Furthermore, other articles regarding reduction in rank do not use the title in the infobox "Highest Rank Attained" but rather "Rank". The Rank held at retirement is listed with the highest rank they were reduced from in parentheses.

Example Bowe Bergdahl's rank is listed as "Private" despite being Adminstratively reduced in rank from "Sergeant".

William E. Wards page lists his rank as "Lieutenant General" The last rank he held but contains in the infobox a addendum "(Reduced in Rank from General).

These are both correct and concise. Infoboxes should be an abridged version of what's in the article. It should not mislead or omit, the unusual infobox format leads me to believe that is the case.
