What Obama's campaign released via first link above states he served in the Infantry. I assume it's possible the records are wrong, or he changed branches. But I'm unaware of that as a standard practice. Perhaps it happened during WWII for manpower reasons? Otherwise, Obama's Great Uncle would seem to have done most of his marching and liberating while at sea.

Not neccessarily, I am not saying Obama is a trustworthy individual, but navy corpmen routinely are with marines... infantry on the other hand I don’t know.
Just because someone is in the Navy doesn’t mean they don’t see combat/action inland.
“But we do. We owe that to the Greatest Generation and to their memory. And to History.”
I’m not suggesting we let it slide. I’m suggesting the only people that care are those that are already against him.
Pasting addresses:
It works that way sometimes. I find if you paste an address and do not add anything else after it, it will auto link.
Though, sometimes it does not work, then you’ll have to manually link to it.

The folks at MAD TV and Saturday Night Live have a gold mine of jokes off from the Jr. Senator from Illinois.
Yeah my Uncle... no no I mean my GREAT Uncle yeah, yeah that's the ticket, my GREAT Uncle...
“The left does care about his anti-Americanism; that is why they are supporting him.’
I stand corrected. Ah for the good ole days when treason was actually prosecuted.
> I’m not suggesting we let it slide. I’m suggesting the only people that care are those that are already against him.
Our task is therefore to MAKE ‘EM care. That won’t be easy. But it will be necessary.
It is a debt that we owe the Greatest Generation. If they could storm ashore at Normandie, or take the hill at Iwo Jima, or beat the Hun during the Battle of Britain, or die in bleeding batches at Dieppe, we can surely do this for them.
No way does Obama get a pass on this outrage. No way.
But why did the “uncle” who wasn't really family go to Obama’s family's attic? Shouldn't he have gone to his own family's attic?
Was it his ‘crazy uncle’ revrund wright?
Your shell game analogy is outstanding!
Now THAT’S funny.

Get real! Barry’s a POS LIAR!!! The democrat party is still in denial over the fact that they are having a tougher time these days lying and getting away with it.
Little Barry may have had a number of uncles living in his attic but there certainly weren’t up there for 20 years fatigued with depression from combat in WWII.
He claimed that this man was there immediately after the war. 15 years before Barry was even born.
Kudos...Best play of the day...
“So. My uncle served at the Waldorf, but that doesnt make me a salad.”
Yes it does.
“It is a debt that we owe the Greatest Generation. “
I respectfully disagree. Not that we don’t owe the people who fought and died in WWII. We owe the same debt to many other folks as well. From the Revolutionary War, Civil War, Mexican American War all the way through to the current war. We owe all the people who worked hard to support them and also who worked hard to build this country.
We also owe it to our children and grand children. We have a great country and are pissing it away.
In many respects I blame the Baby Boomers. They were in control when the leftists built their strength. They allowed the ACLU to attack the fundamental foundations of this country using our tax dollars.
‘I’m starting to get the impression that little Barak may have had several uncles(unrelated) while growing up. “
It takes a village after all. Wonder if he even knows who his mother really is?
Actually, in 2002 he said his Grandfather had heard the stories from other Americans who had liberated Auschwitz and Treblinka.
For some reason, in 2002 there was no Uncle, Great or not.
Hey, Army...Navy...it was one of those military thingies. No doubt Obama will get someone to teach him the difference before he becomes Commander-in-Chief.
