This article summarizes the case. VP Walz left the Marine Corps National Guard after 24 years, and some people accuse him of leaving just before the iraq invasion.

Also something that I feel needs to be emphasized: Walz fully retired at 20 years and reenlisted after 9/11 for another 4 year tour

Afghanistan or iraq part 1 (1991 desert Storm)? It’s not mentioned anywhere so probably not.

Indeed. Iraq 2 was the first time National Guard was deployed abroad if I’m not mistaken.
