In the “Who Claim to Have ‘Been There” department, it’s written in the issue:
• 1,713,823 of those who served in Vietnam were still alive as of August, 1995 (census figures).
• During that same Census count, the number of Americans falsely claiming to have served in country was: 9,492,958. (Those who actually served in country amounted to 2.7 million)
• As of the current Census taken during August, 2000, the surviving U.S. Vietnam Veteran population estimate is: 1,002,511. This is hard to believe, losing nearly 711,000 between ’95 and ’00. That’s 390 a day.
• During this census count, the number of Americans falsely claiming to have served in country is: 13,853,027. By this census, FOUR OUT OF FIVE WHO CLAIM TO BE Vietnam vets are not.
“Of the 2,709,918 Americans who served in Vietnam; less that 850,000 are estimated to be alive today, with the youngest American Vietnam veteran’s age approximated to be 54 years old.
“So if you’re alive and reading this, how does it feel to be among the last one-third of all the U.S. Vets who served in Vietnam? Don’t know about you, but kinda gives me the chills, considering this is the kind of information we are used to reading about WWII and Korean War vets.
“So the last 14 years we are dying too fast, only a few will survive by 2015 … if any.
“If true, 39 VN vets die a day, on average. So in 2,190 days from today, you’re lucky to be a Vietnam veteran alive … in only 6 years.”
In my book, by the numbers, those are sobering statistics. And I salute the ones that served.
This was an eMail to me a couple years ago, from a Texas shipmate, Master Chief Deal, who died last year.

If this guy gets busted for wanting cops dead, howcum Al Sharpton gets a pass? He even taught and encouraged mobs of peoples to shout it as a slogan.
(Spelling is intentional).
Isn’t this what ISIS told U.S. muslims to do?
Not the same person. Ears are different and other features don’t match.
More like a muzzie jihadi.
Well, you have to pay taxes and Sharpton doesn’t .
You don’t pay, you go to jail. Nothing happens to Sharpton.
The reason? For reasons unknown, Sharpton is a member of the ruling class. Laws and rules do not apply to the ruling class. Laws and rules are there to control the slaves. And apply only to them.
I don’t remember any questions about military service in in the 2000, 2006(limited area test), or 2010 census. does anyone else remember any questions about that?
Nice work. Thanks.
I didn't fill out anything other than the number of persons so I don't know.
That Vietnam Vet info was in an eMail from a former shipmate, I didn't question it, maybe I should have.
> Not the same person. Ears are different and other features don’t match.
Angles and lighting can fool you. You should see what my wife can do with photoshop to a alter the appearance of someone in less than a minute. She also has software that can do it in real time while video footage is running...
Meant to mention that I look at mugshots quite often and many don’t look like the same people over years due to sunglasses, age, facial hair, weight changes, different hairstyles and hair dyes / graying, makeup, clothing / fashion changeups, even trimming or sculpting the eyebrows differently change can make a huge difference in their appearance. I have worked on a lot of criminals that are chameleons and they can fool you. Women are better at it than men obviously.
Its also possible that the photo in the LinkedIn account is an older photo or that it could have been altered given the profile type entered. It definitely matches the type of leftist that would be involved if this is a false flag event.
