Good point...

he should be forced to beg forgiveness at the grave of each and every Marine that reported to Heaven.
I don't know if that would be a good punishment.I knew a few marines and i don't think any of the ones I knew made it into heaven but I almost guarantee you that they have satan backed into a corner right now and are taking over hell as we speak

One of the best Christmas dinners in my life was at Pleiku in 1966 thanks to you guys.

I have to kind to Marines. Even tough I retired from the Air Force I worked joint service for five years. I have two medals that were awarded to me by Marines.

In my two years at Camp Pendleton the best service food happened away from the Messhalls....one, on a rusty old scow we were using for "wet net" training, and then again at the Naval Hospital at Camp Pendleton.
The day-in, day-out 'chow' at the standing messhalls totally sucked 80 percent of the time.

Dad says it's sad but the embarrassment will be worse - some admiral killed himself over a bogus Vietnam award ..

I'm surprised he didn't run for President. Probably would've been more authentic than Wesley Clark...

Our ship was just back from a year on the gun line (off the coast of Viet Nam, 1972) and this young kid came on board. He went on liberty wearing a chest full of medals similar to this story.
Funny thing was that the medals he wore were all from WWII. A couple of the guys saw him with this stuff on his chest.
Trust me, it was the LAST time he did something like that.

I wasn't in Nam; but I spent enough grunt time to know that anybody that could serve me hot chow in the field was worth a big thank you.
Semper Fi.

I bet he was a democrat! Gore? Kerry? I know! It was Hillary in drag! She always claimed she wanted to be a Marine.

Thankyou. I would have left a tip, but, you made me bus my own table.

I read this in the Navy Times last week; cover on indoors was one of the things that got him busted. Another is that he has no pistol badge (kinda unusual for a commisioned type).

He should be obligated to apologize to every living Marine individually and when he is done he should be forced to beg forgiveness at the grave of each and every Marine that reported to Heaven.
Oh please - lighten up. I'm former USMC and a 'Nam combat vet and this guy just doesn't bother me all that much. Believe me, there's been a lot worse.

Maybe I'm being cynical, but I've always been slightly suspicious of those guys who hang around Vietnam War memorials wearing boonie hats, parts of fatigue uniforms, and combat boots. Maybe they're the real McCoy, but if they are, it seems as though they're beating it to death. I served for twenty years on active duty, and had my share of good times and bad times, but that's all behind me now. My sole military-related adornment these days is a baseball cap with the insignia of my favorite unit.
My humble opinion is that anyone caught wearing an award or decoration to which he is not entitled should be looking at some serious jail time.

Anti-war protester and President of Gold Star Families for Peace, Cindy Sheehan (L) of Vacaville, California holds hands with Iraq war veteran Benjamin Hart Viges during a sunset candlelight vigil at her roadside protest near the ranch of U.S. President George W. Bush in Crawford, Texas, August 17, 2005.
Anyone know if this guy is for real? He claims to have been in the 82nd Airborne.
