Achilles for Idaho | U.S. Senate 2026@Achilles4IdahoOct 10, 2026The claim 'Todd Achilles is a veteran' is directly supported by multiple independent sources (Ballotpedia, Wikipedia, LocalCandidates) stating he served as an Army tank commander/officer from 1992 to 1995, and a Vietnam-veteran letter-writer and other coverage corroborate his military service; the extracted claim matches the passage 'INDEPENDENT VETERAN' and no source contradicts it.
