“When I was in Afghanistan” – Walz picking his words carefully because of this.

When you listen to this do you infer that Walz was deployed to Afghanistan during his National Guard years? In fact, he was talking about a Congressional visit. Which involved exactly one overnight stay in Bagrum Air Force base in January 2008, as a congressman, after his military service had ended.

Should he have been clearer?

"When I was in Afghanistan"

Tim Walz was never deployed to Afghanistan.

Ever.
