and the RATS, take another one in the.........HA ha!!!
Probably seemed like a good idea at the time.
hang em all!
Democrats have to lie to win elections.
Why do they think no one will ever find out the truth?
*rolls eyes*
I’m confused so someone help me here. Did he get promoted to Major below the zone while in service? Can Army captains pin on major at 8 year point or was he actually a CPT (P)? I would think that being in the Army reserves for 14 years and NOT being promoted to LCol is worse that lying about being in the reserves when he wasn’t. Either way, he should stay in the race and see if he can take the punches.
Discharged? Are officers discharged from the Reserves? I received 1 official Honorable Discharge, and that was 3 months before I entered active duty. My dad had to explain it to me in that I was discharged from my military obligation for the purposes of accepting a commission.
I think the terminology is wrong here. He may have been placed into the inactive reserves. And unless he resigned his commission he should still have it.
and the RATS, take another one in the.........HA ha!!! This guy lied and he did so deliberately. When an officer resigns from active duty and he has completed all of his military obligations, he has a choice, resign his commission or retain his commission in one of several options for Reserve Component service. If you retain your commission, but you take no action to maintain certain current qualification, you are discharged. You no longer hold a commission. This is what he did, and he certainly knew what he did.
Voters need to stop voting for liars, no matter who they are.
Active Duty ping.
Discharged in September of 2001 seems odd. After Sept 11th? Most of those in the reserves were getting activated and those on IRR were getting ready for the call. Maybe he was medical or something. You would think following the terrorist attacks, the Army wouldn’t have discharged him or anyone else.
Close. But no cigar!
Once you are released from Active Duty. You are put on “Inactive Reserve” and run the next to nothing risk of being called back in for five years.
Not 14!
VA GOP Statement on Gary McCollum No Longer Being Employed By Cox
— Despite #StolenValor and Cox situation, Dems still think McCollum is a ‘Top 3’ candidate and they continue to hide his State applications —
September 25, 2015 - Richmond, VA - Last night, Cox Communications released a statement to The Virginia Pilot announcing that Gary McCollum is no longer employed by Cox Communications. Below is RPV’s statement on the matter:
“I want to thank Cox Communications for making the right decision by severing ties with a man who has practiced stolen valor for the past fourteen years,” said RPV Chairman John Whitbeck. “Sadly, Governor McAuliffe and the Democrat Party are STILL standing behind Gary McCollum despite this reprehensible deception.”
“Governor McAuliffe has continued to refuse to release basic FOIA requests regarding Gary McCollum’s applications to serve on two state boards and will not comment on McCollum’s lies about his service. The Democrat Party of Virginia still refers to McCollum as “one of 3 top-tier candidates” on their website. This all begs the question, what does Gary McCollum have to do before the Democrats disown him?”
“I ask Governor McAuliffe to join everyone else in Virginia and denounce McCollum’s lies and obfuscations. Furthermore, I demand he release the FOIA requests he is required to do by law.”
