Original Note:
Tim Walz served in the Minnesota National Guard for 24 years starting in 1981. He quit in May 2005 to run for Congress, not to dodge the deployment that his unit would only be informed of in July 2005. (In fact, his unit had been deployed to Italy just recently, in 2003.) https://www.startribune.com/walzs-24-years-in-national-guard-get-renewed-scrutiny-from-gop-opponent-who-didnt-serve/600216280
