Are you calling this brave, compassionate American warrior hero a liar?
Lying is willfully telling an untruth-making excuses and ignoring rules is no such thing-but it isn’t appropriate behavior for an adult.
My husband’s job for 30 years was being a soldier-please do not be sarcastic about, or dismissive of military veterans-it is not what we are talking about here-being a veteran has absolutely nothing to do with what the guy at CB did or did not do.
