Nathan Phillips is the Native American Vietnam Vet who many were claiming was attacked and harassed by a bunch of evil, white, Catholic, high school kids in MAGA hats at the March for Life on Saturday. As more information became available it seemed clear (unless you work for CNN) that Phillips was the one who instigated the ordeal and the kids really didn’t do anything.
Good times.
Interestingly enough, a few people on Twitter tried to connect the dots on Phillips’ claims of serving in Vietnam and this thread is especially fascinating. Note, we can neither confirm nor deny any of this is true or correct, but it’s definitely something worth reading through.

Separates the sheep from the goats.
Democrats have done a full circle on Vietnam Vets. They spit on them, cursed them, treated them like crap when they came home. Now they are heroes when the situation warrants, masters of the universe when the left can get mileage out of them.
Did you know that John Kerry served in Vietnam?
LOL! Yup. Being a “protected” anything sure doesn’t stop assholery from occurring.
Trump should have learned his lesson on this. Let someone else go after his service or lack thereof.
If Joe the Plumber had claimed to be. Vietnam Nam vet, the media would have thoroughly vetted the claim and would have done it quickly.
Come on guys. He served right alongside Richard Blumenthal. Together they did Secret missions into Laos and Cambodia, following the trails originally blazed by John Kerry.
“The USMC was no longer in VN in 1973.”
Do your homework.
It’s seared, seared in his memory.
In 1968, on orders from President Nixon.
For what it is worth:
Operation Frequent Wind, Saigon evacuation, 29-30 April 1975
Operation Eagle Pull, Phnom Penh, Cambodia evacuation, 12 April 1975
Mayaguez Incident, 12-15 May 1975
The USMC was involved in all three of these events. I was on active duty, but stateside, at these times. USMC friends were involved in all three of the events.
DD-214 time. Fake Injun too?
The USMC was no longer in VN in 1973.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And the last of US diplomatic and skeleton military forces left in 1975. Be interested in knowing what he was doing there all alone those last two years.
“The USMC was no longer in VN in 1973.”
Try telling that to the families of Charles McMahon and Darwin Judge.
Don’t believe everything posted.
Hmmm. Embassy withdrawal in ‘75. Seems like one or two devildogs in the mix there as I recall.
Ah - okay. No worries.
