One American News (OAN) featured a video segment on JR Majewski and on the “retired Air Force NCO” who claims to have seen Majewski in Afghanistan. In the video segment, the reporter showed an email that OAN received from the Air Force. They highlighted a statement, from that email, saying that the Air Force had no visibility on where individuals were sent from the locations that they were assigned to.<\/p>\n

A rough transcript of a part of the OAN video:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Ohio House hopeful JR Majewski was slammed by the Associated Press which claimed that he misrepresented his military service in support of operations in Afghanistan while the Republican leadership has all but abandoned Majewski, conceding the seat to Democratic incumbent Marcy Kaptur. The Trump endorsed Majewski is fighting back and clearing his name, producing a battle buddy from 20 years ago who served with him in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

Battle Buddy Audio:<\/b><\/span> I saw him a handful of times, he came into Afghanistan and then he would pop back out. And then if there was another need, he would come back. Very few people were kicking in doors, it’s like [inaudible] I don’t know, I feel bad for JR. I consider him a combat veteran; I know he is.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Majeski said that he was thrilled that the retired Air Force NCO saw his name and face on social media, read the stories claiming he was never in Afghanistan, and reached out.<\/p>\n

JR Majewski video:<\/b><\/span> It’s unfortunate that we had to reconnect in these circumstances, but you know, I, I thank God that we did. Now, I would’ve liked to, you know, have met him, maybe ran into him somewhere, or send him a message on social media, but you know the fact that he came out to help me is, ah, fantastic.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One American News reviewed the retired Air Force NCO’s DD-214 and agreed to protect his identity given his concerns for the safety for himself and for his family. Calling himself “Jason”, Majewski’s battle buddy said, “Reporters were unfair to Majewski, considering that record-keeping was not a priority in those days, and trying to update incomplete military records is a nightmare.<\/p>\n

Battle Buddy Audio:<\/b><\/span> I mean he was a kid when he got out, he didn’t know any better that something, that if he did not update his records… like I was an NCO, so, I took care of my troops and I took care of myself, and it still didn’t get processed. That’s just not how it works. And then if you get out, good luck, [chuckles]. Early in the war there was really no, I don’t know, no, ah, accountability they just wanted, you know, their motto was, “do more with less”, and they just wanted to push people where they needed them to go. So, it is not, it’s, it’s a common practice especially for, [inaudible], when I was in, but this was common practice to actually forward deploy, teach you nothing [?], and there is no record of where you actually stepped foot.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Associated Press in a September 22 article under the headline “Ohio GOP House Candidate has Misrepresented his Military Service” claimed the Air Force said that there’s no record of Majewski’s serving in Afghanistan nor was he awarded the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal. However, the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal was not established until 2003 after Majewski was honorably discharged.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
