I heard somewhere that Nick Phillips the Indian is a Marine in Vietnam but that the dates he says he served don’t match the war time frame. Is that true?
Anyone have details on that?
So the possibilities are that he lied about being a Vietnam Veteran, or that he lied about his age back then, or that he was one of a small group of embassy guards (unlikely) or that he was a Vietnam era veteran, who never actually got to Vietnam, and either reporters don't hear the "era" or he doesn't tell them.
The real-deal Stolen Valor people have had their eye on him for a while, and now they've FOIA'ed his DD214.
