A Montana GOP Senate candidate, Sheehy, is facing increasing scrutiny regarding his claims of being shot in Afghanistan. Accusations have arisen suggesting that he may have fabricated or exaggerated his war injury story, with several reports highlighting significant gaps in his narrative. Critics, including ex-Navy SEALs, are challenging the authenticity of his bullet wound claim, questioning whether he truly sustained injuries during his military service. This controversy is particularly pertinent as Sheehy is viewed as a potential candidate who could flip control of the Senate, yet he is nagged by these accusations, which could impact his campaign.
