Tim Walz Faces Scrutiny Over Military Service Claims

Veterans criticize vice presidential nominee for alleged inconsistencies in his National Guard record.

Walz visited Afghanistan in 2011 as a congressman, not as a soldier, contrary to some claims.
Four National Guard veterans accused Walz of misrepresenting his rank and service.
Critics argue Walz left the National Guard to avoid deployment to Iraq, a claim he denies.
The Harris-Walz campaign defends his military service, citing his advocacy for troops in Congress.
Walz's military record has become a contentious issue in the 2024 vice presidential race.
