You are correct, I stand down. I thought the eligibility for Vietnam era ended with the date of the signing of the peace agreement which ended hostilities.
Here is a good site by the government publishing office:

So according to the criteria, the worm does qualify by two days just because he was active for training in a qualifying MOS.
But he uses the words “coming back to the US as a veteran of the Vietnam era.” This is not a lie, just an excuse. And the only way anyone would spit on him is if he wore the uniform with that claim he was as no one would have known him to be a ‘Nam era member. The award, because of the shifting dates, is not understandable to the public.
Sorry for the mistake.

It certainly was an interesting thread.
No mistake...learning process.
I didn’t know the eligibility for NDSM ended before the Vietnam Era ended.
Not sure how that worked.
Phillips is a piece of work. Yet, the left never called him out on any of it.
From his name change to his multiple times lies about being a Vietnam vet to what actually happened with the H.S. kids. They just let it fade away...he’s now under the bus with Christine Blasey Ford.
We’ve (Freepers) already spent way too much time on this guy.
