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

by taking service in the Air National Guard, which he may or may not have taken seriously. People of a certain age may still see National Guard as a form of draft dodging akin to “bone spurs,” but it’s hard to argue that for a man who spent 20 years there.

My Grand-dad joined the Army National Guard for Korea. They've definitely been deployed overseas before.
