Charles Walker is a retired United States Army General. Born on March 22nd, 1954, in Los Angeles, California, Walker hailed from a family with a strong military tradition, as Jacob's father had served 30 years in the U.S. army during his life, obtaining the rank of Lt. Colonel before retiring. Charles attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1976. His academic prowess led him to pursue further studies, earning a Rhodes scholarship, and a degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) from the University of Oxford in 1978.

 

Charles gained a reputation of being a womanizer in college and was open about his various affairs which continued well into his time in the military. In 1981, while stationed in Fort Bragg, Charles impregnated a woman he was seeing at the time. His first son, Isaac, was born in 1982. Charles would quickly work his way up the ranks in the the Army, promoted to Major in 1985, moving to Georgia, joining the 82nd Airborne Division. Charles toured both Panama (1989) and Kuwait (1991) during this period. In Kuwait, Charles earned a Distinguished Service Medal and Silver Star. In 1993, Charles was accidentally shot in the leg during a live fire exercise, and still walks with a limp to this day because of it. 

 

In 2001, Charles was promoted to Major General and commanded the 82nd Airborne Division. In 2002, Charles served a ten month tour in Afghanistan, stationed in Kabul. In 2004, upon his promotion to Lt. General, Charles was appointed Operations Director of the Joint Special Operations Command, serving in various leadership roles over the next several years alongside Gen. Stanley McChrystal. In late 2007, Charles was nominated for the position of General, serving as the acting head of CENTCOM, eventually replaced by David Petraeus in October of 2008. Charles would then be chosen to serve as the commander of the U.S. Army Pacific in 2010, disappointing him, as he had expected to take over command of forces in Afghanistan.

 

In 2011, Charles retired from the military, returning to his home in California. After the Benghazi embassy attack, he was highly critical of President Barack Obama's response, appearing on Fox News to argue that Obama had "not conveyed the severity of what we're all seeing on the ground." Over the next several years, Charles would remain active in his criticisms of Obama, especially on the issues of Libya, Syria, and his Iraq strategy. On Obama's "red line" in Syria, Charles would write an op-ed for Newsmax, arguing that not acting against Assad after Obama's declaration of a red line against using chemical weapons against civilians was "degrading the U.S. military" and "a great discredit to his legacy."

 

In 2014, Charles wrote a book, How to Secure America, detailing his background and history, and providing strategies to ensure the security of America moving forward, including; isolating Iran and stopping them from obtaining a nuclear weapon, securing the U.S. border, and destroying terrorist elements across the Middle East. In 2015, it was rumored Walker was considering forming an exploratory committee to run for President. Shortly after, Walker would announce his candidacy in Los Angeles, California, in the Republican primary. 

 

In January 2016, Charles Walker placed second in both the Iowa and New Hampshire primary while winning the South Carolina primary. Shortly after, prior to Super Tuesday, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died. After reviewing the state of the race and realizing that McCord and Walker were closest in ideologies, especially on issues like Social Security, Medicare, and government corruption, Walker made the decision to suspend his campaign and endorse Katherine McCord. In the early summer of 2016, Katherine McCord announced that Charles Walker would be the Vice Presidential nominee.

 

After losing the 2016 election, Walker was elected Chairman of the Republican National Committee.
