Active Military Duty??

The memo states "The question of whether Mr. Griffin (who then was on active military duty in Iraq) might be considered..." [my emphasis]

Is this true? Was Mr. Griffin, a young Republican, actually on on active military duty - in Iraq?? Knowing what we know about Today's Republican Party™, it's unlikely that Mr. Griffin was a member of the armed forces. Could he have been on political assignment in the Green Zone? Is the whole thing a fabrication? (why would they lie to one another??)

Inquiring minds, you know.
