too have been digging. For hours. My wife and I have been also going at it. The spin is just another lie. Charles W. Payne was in the Navy. Based on the Chicago Suntimes family tree there was no other enlisted person by the name of Payne at this time. There was a Charles W. Payne. His records can be found here if he was from Kansas. The serial numbers can be crossed referenced here. If he enlisted elsewhere then we need to find out.
Soooooo...Obama's Uncle was in the NAVY....not in the Army??? YIKES!!
