Original Note:
Walz never said Bagram was in Iraq. That is a transcription error in the attached doc. See the speech here: https://youtu.be/2xXpYNWi1Jg?t=5523 Walz did participate in a fallen comrade ceremony at Bagram in January 2008. He never claimed he was deployed. https://web.archive.org/web/20090102232739/http://walz.house.gov/list/press/mn01_walz/0116Investigatingmilitary.shtml
