Whispers about Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) military service during the Vietnam War have been floating around Washington for years and were reported in print at least as far back as two campaigns ago. From the Kentucky Kernel of November 1, 1996, Senator”s Discharged Questioned:

Maybe the same standards for evidence, presumption of guilt that has been applied to Roy More, should also be applied to Mitch McConnell. What do you think?

Yeah.

Minor medical condition inflated to keep you out of the rice paddies in ‘67?

Sounds like another scam to me and I heard a lot of them back then (like the guy who had a car run over his foot so he could flunk the induction physical the week after he graduated from college).

Mitch the Dodger! Sending other guys off to fight and die while he poses in DC!

“What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander” ....... Mitch has opened Pandora’s box by either outright instigating or fomenting what is being done to Roy Moore.

McConnell needs to step down for the good of the nation. Or perhaps expelled by the ethics charges.

ever Trumpers and drive by media radio talk hosts are having a field day ignoring the fact that all of the accusers were of the age of legal consent. Including the one claiming when 14 years old. For her accusations are the juiciest. Which they gleefully relate and dwell on in a touchy feel-ly manner as if it came off of a police report yesterday. Not as a unsubstantiated recollection from 40 years ago. Because they know these are damaging accusations which will be almost impossible to disprove.

Despite that fact that it has been uncovered that two of his accusers are working for the Perversion Party and that their accusations are false and politically motivated. The drivebys and the nevers media are not reporting this but are mentioning one accuser is a “Republican” .

Here is background on two accusers. One works for the perverts that one knows the one who claimed she was 14. But was actually 17 at the time? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3603606/posts

someone named Roy signed it Moore’s last name was added to it.

Robert Heinlein had it right (as usual).

No military service, no vote, no public office, no job paid with taxpayer dollars. Worked for Sparta, worked for Rome.

If I'm seeing the unretouched photo in the handwriting analysis tweet correctly...

...it looks like somebody named "Roy" signed the book with a black ink pen, and then somebody added "Moore" and the rest with a blue ink pen?

It’s tough to get behind something from the Huffington Post, but with McConnell’s recent behavior, this should get all the attention possible with special emphasis on the rumors that he was caught performing a homosexual act while in the military.

I might agree for WW2 vets. I respect and thank all vets....but there hasn’t been a war fought to win since WW2. Wars are fought to fight them. Jeeze it took Obama to get get Bin Laden.

Both McConnell and Ryan suffer with what Mitt Romney called the 47% who vote, but do not pay income taxes. These people vote overwhelmingly for democrats for the obvious reasons and are easily swayed by politicians who say evil republicans will take away their freebies.

That’s why Mitch blocks conservatives in elections, why he is blocking Trumps agenda, and why we get half-azzed Obamacare repeal bills and even more half-azzed “tax reform”.

Bannon is the only one who gets this, and is trying to drain this RINO swamp.

Yes, the accuser being half right and half truthful is basically warranting everything out of the accuser. This is utmost bull sht. They can lie

Found this:

“The missing part of the story-?

Alan Lynch, a Lexington Postal Clerk, served in the 100th Army Reserve Unit, Louisville, Kentucky. He was in another unit in 1964 but the Army did a consolidation of units and he was transferred to the 100th in 1965 or 1966. He performed several duties while he served in the military as a postal clerk and personnel officer. Mr. Lynch has a remarkable story about the summer of 1967.

The summary of the story is as follows:

In the summer of 1967 Lynch reported for his summer active duty in the 100th Training Unit Army Reserve. The Unit did their summer active duty at Ft. Jackson, South Carolina. Lynch worked for S-1, the administrative arm of any army unit. Lynch worked for a Major, who was the assistant Adjutant and new to the unit. During his active duty in August of 1967 Lynch remembers coming into the office and noticed that the Major was upset. He asked him what was going on and the Major told him the following:

A new member of the 100th Army Reserve Unit in Basic Training at Ft. Knox was arrested in the barracks for sodomy. The guy is getting out of the military and the excuse will be due to an illness, an eye disorder. The Major then told a joke about it saying, “I guess the guy couldn’t see the difference between guys and girls.”

Lynch asked him how this guy could accomplish this and get a release from the army. The Major told him that the soldier had served as an intern to Senator John Sherman Cooper and Senator Cooper called the Commanding General of Ft. Knox to arrange the discharge.

At the time the Major told Lynch the name of the soldier but the name didn’t stick to his brain. Lynch said frankly it was not important at the time because the name McConnell meant nothing to him. It was not until the issue was raised in McConnell’s senate race of 1990 that he remembered the incident. Lynch provided the information to reporters with the Courier Journal and Herald Leader but they did nothing with it because they didn’t have any real evidence. They only have the story of Lynch.

McConnell has been able to brush this whole thing off as a tempest in a teapot.”

Yes, Dole was a military self hater blaming it for his impotent wrist, McCain is such obvious flaming homo for Viet Congs and then Bush Jr with his fake smile of inadequacy amongst NCOs in photo ops... Mitch is just another one ofnthese self hating GOPe who envy the open depravity and corruption power of democrats

Roy Moore supporters need to find this guy:

“Alan Lynch, a Lexington Postal Clerk, served in the 100th Army Reserve Unit, Louisville, Kentucky. He was in another unit in 1964 but the Army did a consolidation of units and he was transferred to the 100th in 1965 or 1966....”

Mitch McConnell had polio as a child. Several sources for that via Google. 2 years old. Surprised he was physically able to enlist in US Army. He reportedly has problems climbing stairs to this day. True? False? Never met the man.
