Stolen Valor? Nathan Phillips Claimed to be 'Vietnam Vet,' 'in Theater'

We already knew that Native American activist Nathan Phillips was not a Vietnam veteran as the media had repeatedly misreported.

Moron chief sack of crap. "In theater"? Maybe the Rialto watching "Battan" or "Flying Tigers".

The media does not “misreport”.
The media lies.
Period.
We know it.
And they know it.

Well, he WAS a rifleman in the Nebraska theater for two days.

Not just one day, but two.

They just hope their viewers never figure it out.

He stated he was a “recon ranger.” Wouldn’t that strongly suggest a combat mission?

If there were such a thing. Instead, as someone else said on another thread, he was a “freon changer” not recon ranger. ;-)

I knew he was lying when he used the phrase ‘Recon Ranger’ to describe his service.

There’s in no such thing. It’s called ‘Force Recon’. The term ‘Recon ranger’ is only used in a boot camp PT jogging chant...............

I've never tried to trade on my military service, but this guy really ticks me off. I spent nearly two years in SEA, mostly in Thailand, but some time in Vietnam. Frauds like him really upset me. Stolen Valor should be a felony with severe penalties.
