MAGA Candidate Campaigning as Afghanistan Vet Has No Record of Serving There

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/jr-majewski-misled-voters-afghanistan-service-1234597278/

A far-right candidate for the U.S. House in Ohio whom former President Trump stumped for on Saturday, has misrepresented his military service, according to the Associated Press.

Majewski has campaigned as an Afghanistan veteran, but documents obtained by the AP through a public records request indicate he never actually served there. Instead, he was stationed in Japan for most of his active service and for six months, helped load planes at an air base in Qatar, a U.S. ally.

Nevertheless, Majewski has described himself as a “combat veteran” and tweeted last year about going “back to Afghanistan.”

I know I spent my time in Germany drinking Ratsopus and smoking good dope, occasionally hooking up with a sturdy blonde and I ran into a lot of real vets. I'm not sure I should be happy about that, but I won't bullshit about it.

Really pisses me off when some summer soldier tries to get points claiming he's GI Joe.

Afghanistan, Japan, Qatar, Minnesota... all strange and interchangeable names for the big scary Out-There full of funny looking people with weird religions.

It should be an outrage, but he's banking on people just shrugging and not knowing what is what or where is where.
