Doesn’t REALLY add up’: Tweep’s thread on Nathan Phillips’ claims of Vietnam service will(T)

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.

Provided without further comment.

In 1968, on orders from President Nixon.

... in a manner reminiscent of Genghis Khan.

It’s been all downhill for Indians in the military since that drunken Ira Hayes.

Show the whole story - the part the media DLEIBERATELY left out as it did’t fit their agenda - also whytheydidn’t discloe that “Unle ‘Nation ia known activist agitator...

The media needs to be held accountable as thir false reporting has put these students, especailly the on in fron in ortal danger. There are calls for them to be shot - - to be put in the choll and burned alvie - and this young man in front even named.

A freak rants on Twitter to burn these kids alive in the school- and Twitter days ‘no problem” - and where is the FBI? Make these videos go viral - it could save lives.

In the first vide, fast forward to minute marker:8 to see who the aggressor is.

In the second video - never mind objecting to Twitter- spitting in the wind. Make demands of the FBI and the DOJ - NOW... ANd call the FCC and demand consequences for these media channels...

On the basis of this, this man is lying. If he is claiming any medals, then he’s stealing valor. That’s a serious crime.

Man is this thing unraveling quick on the left.

I have never heard the term “recon ranger.”

From the jody:

I wanna be a recon ranger

I want to live a life of danger

I want to go to Viet Nam

I wanna kill some Viet Cong.

I went on active duty in 1975. Before, I was technically Army enlisted while an ROTC cadet. I have never claimed to be a "Vietnam era" vet.

On 14 April 1971, III MAF redeployed to Okinawa, and two months later the last ground troops, the 13,000 men of the 3d MAB, flew out from Da Nang. Although Marine combat units were no longer in Vietnam, Marine advisors remained to assist the South Vietnamese.

U.S. military draft ends, Jan. 27, 1973

There was a draft, with dates announced and all that, but there were almost no one actually drafted in the last two years. A few volunteers, and maybe one or two birth dates actually called up, but that's it.

By 1977, when I tried to enlist in the AF (with a 200+ score on the aptitude test), I couldn't even get a promise to be considered. In all fairness, even the recruiter said I would be wasting my time if I went in, and he would rather see me in civilian service.

The military shed over 2 million persons at the end of the war and barely enlisted anyone.

This Phillips guy just seems like a typical leftist fraud.

Was he “Agent Orange”? No, now I remember. THAT was Eddie Murphy.

Never recall singing “recon ranger” or even hearing the term. It was always “Airborne Ranger” in the Jody songs that I sang.

I did hear of Remington Rangers. The only time they retreated was when they backspaced. But you would have to remember Remington typewriters for that to make sense.

Here’s my address. LOL! But, the fact is that not every draftee went, not every enlistee went, folks that volunteered didn’t necessarily go, joining a guard/reserve unit didn’t KEEP you from going. It was the luck or curse of the draw.

I read that Phillips claimed to have been spit on by “hippies” on his return to the US from Vietnam.

I have read that the stories about spitting are largely BS, an urban legend concocted for political effect.

This subject was extensively covered in the book “The Spitting Image” by Jerry Lembcke.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spitting_Image

There’s a very good chance that Phillips is lying about being spat upon. And if he’s lying about that, his entire claim of military service comes into question.

Comments?
