The Washington Post has had to issue yet another retraction after falsely claiming that far-left Native American activist Nathan Phillips served in the Vietnam War. He didn’t — but this lie was previously used to help raise money for a documentary about his life.
On Monday, the Washington Post quietly issued a correction to their story about the activist, saying that while he served in the Marines, he was never deployed to Vietnam.
“Correction: Earlier versions of this story incorrectly said that Native American activist Nathan Phillips fought in the Vietnam War. Phillips served in the U.S. Marines from 1972 to 1976 but was never deployed to Vietnam,” the correction reads.

Hey, hey, no fair, no fair! You’re picking on a MINORITY here, you shouldn’t be picking his story apart, and in public, too!
Anybody says he is an Indian (or the more politically correct “Native American”), IS one in the eyes of the law. The business of being a war veteran, with combat experience, is also supposed to be sacrosanct. But if it turns out to be a *L*I*E*, then things shift to a different perspective.

The Wall Drug Wooden Indian serves a purpose. He/it is a logo for Wall Drug.
Ranger Gord?
How about a “Power Ranger”?
Forest Ranger?
Okay . . . Fake Ranger?
No, no, no ... he was a Loan Arranger!
This story sure shows this leftist, like all leftists, is quite the scoundrel.
LOL!
I gotta get me one of those.
Woops wrong thread.
If he was a Recon Marine he would have been sent to RVN,
trust me.
He sounds like just another bullshit guy trying to impress others with respect to his bold and fearless, but totally fake combat service.
I am sick of them.
Semper Fi’
I wish someone would collect a used cup, or something, and run it for DNA.
Loving “Loan Arranger.”
I thought so...phoney bastard!!!!

He is an alcoholic for drinking while Indian.
The custom is to use the descriptor “Vietnam Veteran” for those that were in country (not necessarily in a combat role or zone). For those that served during the Vietnam war but did not actually serve in Vietnam, they use the descriptor “Vietnam Era Veteran”.
If he served, there will be a document, a “DD-214.”
“Can’t remember what that ugly bastard’s first name is now.”
No surprise there, it’s DICK!
