The claim that Governor Walz served in Afghanistan is false. Tim Walz did not and has never claimed to have served in Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan). His DD214 does not show such service, nor has he ever claimed it. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2018/10/03/tim-walz-national-guard-career-minnesota-governor-race
