"Stolen Valor" page 107.

Although the press often refers to Rather as an Ex-Marine, he did not finish Marine recruit training. He joined the Marines on Jan. 22 '54, but was discharged less than four months later, on May 11, for being medically unfit.

>medically unfit.

Right, but as many pages of that book point out, many walking frauds claim things about their military service that are untrue.

All we're asking Dan for is some simple substantiation. Was it medical, or something else? If medical, was it physical, or something else?

Not accusing. Just asking.

Remember old UPI motto. "If your mother says she loves you; check it out."

We only ask that Dan's 1954 medical records not be from MS Word and a laser printer!
