[Old Retired Army Guy]

Apparently, this guy had a fine military record to be proud of. Why he would want embelish it even more is beyond me. Don’t these guys know that once they are in the public spot light, some operations research person will dig up everything they can on them and the truth will come out. Damn shame. I retired from the Army with a record that I am proud of. I never was a Green Beret, because that wasn’t the path I chose. I have a young son however who is a Green Beret Captain now serving with the first SFG. I am proud as hell of his achievments also, but I am equally proud of any young man or woman serving in the military regardless of the branch and career field they are serving in. I also disdain the phony soldiers who never served or served and lied about their record. I equally disdain the people like John Kerrey who came back from Vietnam and lied about his fellow soldiers. The military is the last bastion of “Honor” and those who dishonor it should be condemned.

The article goes on about getting increased monetary gain from the VA. I don’t think that was it. He is just another BS’er. He had a military career to be proud of but it wasn’t enough he had to be a Green Beret.

Roger that. Seems like a lot of people have to make themselves out to be larger than they really were. Evidence submitted: John “I am a Vietnam Purple Heart war hero” Kerry. Just their true record is not good enough. They have to have “charged the machine gun nest, getting wounded five times but blew it up” instead of simply being in battle and getting hit. I was a simple solder. Vietnam vet. Have a Purple Heart. But, I did not accomplish Audie Murphy heights. I was not seeking them. I wanted to survive and do my job. I accomplished that for 20 years of honorable and proud service. Thanks for your service Old Retired Army Guy, from Retired Army!
