I looked up about 20 entries of US service members and it tracks with what you said, seems like a formatting thing.

Personally I understand but listing deployment medals and ribbons would make sense but they have battle/wars in the box so eh, that's good enough I suppose?

as I type that I see on tim walz wiki on battle/wars it has:

War in Afghanistan - Operation Enduring Freedom

-_-! I'm out of words. I'm going to go watch wrestling now.
