Here's a classic "feel good" Veterans Day story where the reporter made no effort to validate the claims of the guy he was profiling, and got taken for a big ride.

It's interesting that the guy didn't "confess" to committing war crimes. Perhaps that is becoming a less popular form of self-expression for guys lying about their Vietnam service. At least, one can hope...

I'll link the paper's followup article to this thread when it arrives. Expect lots of posturing and efforts to exonerate the reporter for failing to do his job.

Man, I wished I had jumped here first. I copied the story and sent it out to some friends and family. I will try to kill it now.

Please ping when you get the "apology", "correction", or most likely, the usual "most unfortunate" BS.

If it's the latter, please post an email addy for the proper newspaper chieftan where we can address the situation in a freeperlike manner.

Just a bit too Hollywood. Rambo couldn’t have had a more unbelievable script.
