he told CNN he was “surrounded” by the kids when he walked over and confronted the main boy in the video (Sandmann).
He said he was fearful of how violent they might be when he was (allegedly) a Vietnam veteran and grown man beating a drum in the face of some skinny kid.
Wait for the inevitable GoFundMe formed for him so he can walk out of this with big wampum.
Now we are hearing he is not a Vietnam Vet, just stolen valor. He is a liar however.
Nathan Phillips was born in 1955.
Meaning that he was just 18 in 1973, the same year that American military personnel were pulled out of Vietnam.
There is no way that this goofball was a Vietnam Vet.
