Sen. John Walsh (D-MT) dropped out of his re-election race earlier this summer amid allegations of plagiarizing his master’s thesis while at the U.S. Army War College. After a brief review, the College has revoked his degree. “The Carlisle, Pennsylvania, college assigned an academic review board to the probe in August after The New York Times published a story showing Walsh borrowed heavily from other sources for the paper he wrote in 2007,” Fox News reports. “Walsh was pursuing a Master of Strategic Studies degree at age 47, a year before he became Montana’s adjutant general overseeing the state National Guard. The board took less than a day to hear the case and make its findings Aug. 22, but the process of appeal and review wasn’t completed until Friday.” Walsh argued that after a fellow soldier committed suicide, he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, which was to blame for his plagiarism. The board wasn’t buying it, saying, “It should also be noted that other students … have had similar or more serious personal and psychological issues during their year at USAWC, and they have been able to successfully complete course requirements without resorting to plagiarism or other cheating.” Victim card denied.
