Ohio Sen. JD Vance has intensified his criticism of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's military career, alleging that Walz avoided serving in Iraq by leaving the Army National Guard and running for Congress in 2005.
Walz, who retired two months before his unit was alerted for deployment to Iraq, is facing attacks on his military background as both parties aim to shape the public's perception of the relatively unknown governor following his selection as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate.
