Stolen valor?
Heap big trouble for him if true.
Thanks for your Math work. As a Vietnam Vet., I resent anybody trying to falsely claim that status including that creepy Senator from Connecticut. I hope someone asks this guy to produce a DD Form 214 or some other proof of his Vietnam service.
I’m 64 (65 in 2 days) and I’m a Viet Nam era vet. I was in the Army, but I wasn’t in Viet Nam. I joined in 73 and it was officially over in 75.
There was technically still a draft. Nobody, however, was getting drafted and had not for some time. I remember registering for selective service, remember having a low lottery number, but I wasn't concerned about being conscripted and neither were my parents concerned.
I suppose somebody born in 1955 could have volunteered for the service and gotten sent to Vietnam. I don't imagine there are very many examples of that though. Vietnam era veterans perhaps.
Now see? Here is the problem right here:
“...How about some journalist...”
You would have better luck saying “how about we ride to interview him on a unicorn?”
With the exception, MAYBE, of Sharryl Atkisson there are no journalists any longer.
Just hacks, playing a never-changing agenda.
He needs to produce his DD214.
I think he could have been 16 if parents approved.
If he is 64 he is
I’m 65, my draft number was 243, my good buddy had a 4. Neither of us served or got close to Vietnam.
Anybody can request his DD-214 through a FOIA filed with the office that keeps records on military personnel. Don’t recall the name of the office, but its in St. Louis.
I am not a veteran, but it seems to me that “Vietnam vet” is the most loosely applied military term in the media. I expect Afghanistan/Iraq vet to end up the same — every old liberal running his mouth is a Vietnam vet and every other illegal immigrant pending deportation is an Iraq vet...According to the media, Basically anyone who was in the military in any capacity approximately during and slightly after the US was involved in Vietnam is give the title. Not to take away from the service of anyone, training is dangerous, accidents happen, etc, but to my mind a “Vietnam veteran” would be someone who was deployed to Vietnam or SE Asia either in combat or in support of the mission in Vietnam. I could be wrong. Briefly had a coworker who described himself as a Vietnam vet but was deployed to the DR, never to Vietnam.
Animal Mother to Nathan Phillips: “seen any combat?”
Phillips: “seen a little on... TEEVEE!”
The news stations in Austin, TX are still spreading the demonrat lies about what happened. What else do you expect from that uber lib hell hole?
President Trump needs to let all Americans know about this media stunt, as the media themselves surely will not. I hope this causes a sea change in how Americans view the media, and I hope it's not pretty...
If Nathan Phillips (aka “Dances with Soros”) ever went to Nam it was most likely with Jane Fonda.
The last battle of Vietnam was the Mayaguez Incident that occurred in May, 1975. 15 Marines were killed in action and another 23 were killed in an aircraft accident. Those Marines are the last names on the Vietnam Memorial. In addition, a Marine Detachment at the Embassy remained until we evacuated. We also had other advisors and other personnel until we evacuated and some remained after Vietnam fell working on the Paris agreements.
You are correct about the date of when the last combat troops left and the Gimlets task force was that unit. I don’t couldn’t tell this guy from Crazy Horse, but if he claims to be either a Vietnam Vet or a Vietnam era veteran like Senator Blumenthal, the Marine veteran who claimed to have served in Vietnam when he never did so. It was a weekend of lies, this one can be resolved with a DD214.
What kind of Indian name is Nathan Phillips?
“Ladies and gentlemen, the Stardust Lounge is proud to present for your listening pleasure the Nathan Phillips Trio with Nathan Phillips on the bongo, Lizzy Warren on the glockenspiel and Ward Churchill playing his organ!”
Look at the total fraudulent interview.
He’s a protected minority, and thus is allowed to get away with anything. There was a black guy here in Minnesota who used to show up at demonstrations wearing an Army uniform decked out with medals, captain bars, and 1st Sgt stripes. He claimed to be an Iraq war vet. I don’t remember him ever being challenged by any “reporter” or anyone else. I’m sure they were either too ignorant to realize that this was a bogus uniform, or they didn’t want to be called a “racist” for challenging him.
I agree that nobody now 64 would have seen combat in Nam.
He "might" qualify as a "Vietnam era" vet, but his claim is still most likely a LIE!
