Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald apologized today for mistakenly saying in a videotaped exchange with a homeless man that he had served in the special forces, though his service was entirely with the 82nd Airborne Division.
"Secretary McDonald has apologized for the misstatement and noted that he never intended to misrepresent his military service," a White House officials told ABC News. "We take him at his word and expect that this will not impact the important work he's doing to promote the health and well-being of our nation's veterans."
The exchange with the homeless man was part of a report about an effort to find military veterans among the homeless that aired on CBS News on Jan. 30.
..most of that career spent out of country
Can’t be one without the other. As the saying goes: To anger a conservative, tell him a lie; to anger a liberal, tell him the truth.

Exactly!...Why would’nt he be proud of service in the 82nd?..He has to up that also?
He apologized if anyone was offended. Nobody in 0 admin. was, so he’s good to go. His dismissal should have been immediate. Resigning (which he hasn’t) is way too good for a Stolen Honor Head of the VA, of all things
He and Brian Williams were hanging out in Iraq I hear.
At my high school the special kids got their own room with a pool table. Maybe that’s what he meant.
I got pretty good at 9 ball.

The Liars Club no doubt...
Oh, we’ve all had those job interviews where they ask you if you could build Rome in a day. Your first thought is, “I’m interviewing with idiots”. Then you spend 30 minutes explaining physics and human behavior and building codes to them as their eyes glaze over. They thank you for coming to interview with them.
The next applicant comes in, and they ask him if he can build Rome in a day. He says, “Sure. No problem. I built Paris in a day.”
He gets the job.
Two years later, that same job is open again.
I don’t get too upset over liars. I expect that. What is exceptionally hard for me to understand is supposedly bright people who believe the liars.
This is the same fool who asked the veteran, CO congressman, “what have you ever done?” or along that line, IIRC.
I guess if you want to make up stuff about what you have done, it is easy to be arrogant, right?
Not surprising from a member of an administration that bases its governance on lying. In short, “birds of a feather flock together.”
“an administration that bases its governance on lying”...indeed! What can anyone expect?
Oh, I dunno, is it anything like Rand Paul claiming to have a degree in biology?
who was his company commander....
Boy, this country sure has a WHOLE LOT OF LIARS IN IT!
