In this March 2, 2008 video, current Connecticut Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal (D) touts his service in the Vietnam war.

Whatever we think about the war, whatever we call it, Afghanistan or Iraq -- we owe our military men and women unconditional support."

Another dirtbag grifter.
He and Dodd are cut from the same cloth. Hence the name BlumenDodd. We drove Dodd out of office for his lies and will do the same with his protege by following him to every public function in the state.

I find it interesting to see so many leftists are ‘proud’ to say they serve in a war they hated so much.
Bottom line, only a certified slimeball would lie about serving in Vietnam. Please defeat this thing sticking to the bottom of your shoe, Conn.
This is the same New York Times that did and continues to give traitor John ‘F’in Kerry a pass?
Stick a fork in it..
