  • “I flew into combat zones often, specifically in Afghanistan, and I served my country proud,” Majewski responded Friday at a news conference.
  • Majewski during his campaign has said he deployed to Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks But the wire service says it has seen records that show he in fact served a six-month stint loading and unloading planes while based in Qatar.
  • The candidate throughout his campaign has also repeatedly said he is a combat veteran who served a tour of duty under “tough” circumstances in Afghanistan.
