BOSTON — Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts announced Monday that he had asked to conduct his annual training as a member of the state’s Army National Guard this summer in Afghanistan.
Brown, 51, a Republican who will face re-election next year in what is sure to be an expensive and closely watched race, has been a member of the Guard since 1979.
He said in a statement that doing his two-week training as requested would help educate him on the war in Afghanistan and “better understand our ongoing mission in that country.”
