You are absolutely right. There are just too many people still left alive who remember what really happened back then.

One should also notice what puts the slime in the New York Slimes. Al Hubbard, like lots of those VVAW jokers, was a completely dishonest SOB. The admission that he lied about his rank only deflects from the horrendous underlying fact that this Meet the Press leftist stooge was a fraud - never in Vietnam. The Slimes calls his "Vietnam service" a matter of "serious question." The whole thing is disgraceful and should be a humiliating footnote on the childish credulity of peace creeps. Instead, the Slimes makes his veracity only a matter of serious question. Hubbard needed to cook up a sting of lies so that he could make himself into an effective traitor. The NYT reporter is a long way from suggesting this obvious truth.
