Massey, 34, was discharged in December 2003, shortly after returning from Iraq due to depression and post-traumatic stress syndrome.

The article doesn't say what kind of discharge he got. I hope he at least got an other-than-honorable so that he can't get any veteran's benefits. This guy is a scumbag of the highest order.

Sorry if already posted, I did do a search on title and different keywords.

Massey, a 12-year veteran who was honorably discharged.

Perhaps he didn't say anything before.

"Outside of the Marines, almost no one has seriously questioned whether Massey, a 12-year veteran who was honorably discharged, was telling the truth."

Traitor.

[g'nad]

I say hang the b@$tard...

the MSM will ignore this end of the story... now that they've gotten mileage from this crap...

[battlegearboat]

We'll just have to keep an eye on this fella.

[martin_fierro]

According to this he was honorably discharged.

[Rippin]

Give the Dispatch some credit. We'll see how widely this gets distributed.

[nuconvert]

Isn't it curious that the reporters embedded with him never spoke up at the time?

[catmanblack.]

sounds like this guy is the future for the democrat party

"Massey's claims have gained him celebrity. Last month, Massey's book, Kill, Kill, Kill, was released in France. His allegations have been reported in nationwide publications such as Vanity Fair and USA Today, as well as numerous broadcast reports. Earlier this year, he joined the anti-war bus tour of Cindy Sheehan and he's spoken at Cornell and Syracuse universities, among others."


France, hmmmmm, seems an appropriate place to release this book.

[silverleaf]

A future John Kerry! Can a run for the Senate be far ahead of this valorous principled outspoken war hero?

[elfman2]

I remember that jerk. His stories were hosted all over foreign cultural forums and anything leaning against the war. There's a world of anti-Americanism that believe this is the truth of how we fight and why we're powerful. The SOB should be extradited and shot.

He has not yet confessed to being a DemoRat. This probably has some bearing on the other.

In 30 years, this guy can run for president as a Democrat. His career trajectory is on plan.

[elli1]

Each of his claims is either demonstrably false or exaggerated - according to his fellow Marines, Massey's own admissions, and the five journalists who were embedded with Massey's unit, including a reporter and photographer from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and reporters from the Associated Press and the Wall Street Journal.

That's it? Too much trouble to do some splaining and name the 'reporter', 'reporters' and 'photographer' who are disputing Massey and to give some specifics? And to explain the delay in refuting his allegations?

[FreedomPoster]

Hmmm.

This goes nicely with this recent article:

Make sure these two are on the front page of your Sunday fishwrap.

Here's a classic exchange (Massey almost forgets to stay On Message):

Q: Were there any gratifying aspects to what you did while over there?

A: Oh yeah, there were. We killed lots of bad guys.

Once, and I still have the note, there was this little girl in Baghdad, near the university. We pulled into what looked like a women’s homeless shelter. We parked our Humvee and got out, and these people were so loving. They were giving us flowers. This little girl kept staring at me, and she was waving and smiling. She picked up a piece of paper and she came running downstairs and wrote, “Hi, I love you, God bless America.” It was so powerful.

And then, after reading something like that, we were probably killing some of her innocent relatives. Maybe that’s why she’s in a shelter.

I have a feeling, if he meets up with some fellow Marines any time soon, he'll have more problems than these.

Are we sure this isnt Cindy Shehans real son?. Casey and this piece of slime may have gotten switched in the hospital.
