"Mr. Phillips served in the Marine Corps in Vietnam from 1972-76"

That simply cannot be true. First off, I know of no post MSG, combat tours or otherwise where you serve for 4 years. I was in one unit for 4 years out of Camp Pendleton but with multiple deployments. I was one of the senior people (timewise) in the unit when I left. More importantly, there were no Marines in Vietnam after April, 1975 when the embassy fell. Most likely his tour in the Marine Corps was from 1972 - 1976 (a standard 4 year enlistment).
