Does the fact that he admits being a phony war vet mean anything to you as far as supporting the fact that he is?
Ersland, 57, has described himself as a disabled Gulf War veteran, but The Oklahoman has learned he left the U.S. Army before the war began.
Ersland left active duty with the Army in February 1989, according to military records. That is more than a year before the first Gulf War began.
Ersland admitted last week he had misrepresented his military service. He said he was a liaison officer for the Air Force during the war.
"I didn’t mean to mislead you,” he said Friday.
What is at issue are the moments on tape; that and that alone. His life story is a complete non-issue, except of course for people like you who will do anything to defend armed robbers.
