Someone should create fake but authentic looking Marine discharge papers for Rather. Post them on the internet and make Rather go
public claiming they are fake.

The irony and hypocrisy would be wonderful.

Rather was likely a ‘bedwetter’ who deliberately had himself ejected because he simply was not Man enough to complete the course.

Myself, I had gone to the Boston Recruiting Station in order to enlist in the Marines. The delayed enlistment rules would have prevented. me from being present for the birth of my first child. The Army had a different policy which did not hinder me on that. I joined the Army that day, went active a few months following. I truly admired that Marine recruiter too.

Some regret but it was fate. I salute all real Marines.

In defense of those who have the heart to earn the EGA but not the body, this article and comments are not aimed at all, but just someone who is stealing the honor.

Ejected for attempted buggery.

“you know Mike Tyson could not complete boot camp either.”

Mention of Tyson always reminds me of his phone number

The article doesn’t say WHY he was booted out of boot camp. He wasn’t man enough? buggery?

Buggery. The woman who bore his daughter Robyn - who was raised gay here in Austin - was a beard.

Probably too unstable. Medical discharge because he was nuts then as he is now.

"Where you from Rather?"
"Texas, Drill Sargent."

"TEXAS? Only steers and queers come from Texas and you don't look like a cow!"

did the same for his dim-witted son. At least “Dubya” learned how to fly a F-102


I can’t imagine anyone who is “dim-witted” flying jets—especially fighter jets. The same people said that Bush the Elder was a wimp. Yeah, he flew off carriers when he was what 20? Yeah, carrier take offs and landings are the stuff of wimps.

He should not claim to be a Marine. He is a liar and if he lied on his induction forms, he is a perjurer.

I took a tour of Plattsburgh AFB. It does not make me an FB111 pilot.

He oozed from the Harris family of Houston - Harris Co. - who were big pharma over 100 years ago.

I cant stand people who claim to serve that has not served. I myself went through basic but did not graduate basic. You have not served till you have graduated basic. all that I have done and Dan Rather have done is gotten a taste of military life not served. to serve means a lot more then experiencing 13 weeks of basic training... I wish I could make the claim but cant. you will never see me mentioning this any where but in a post like this because not making it through basic training is nothing to be proud of.

when I went into the Army in 1973, one day while at the rifle range the Drill Sargent announced that when we returned to the company area, we all had to rush into the barracks, put on our poplin shirt, black tie, Class A jacket, and our saucer cap, go to the latrine where the photographer had set up back by the showers, and get our picture taken. A couple days before graduation, we given the National Defense Service Medal and ribbon, and the packet of pictures. I think about $30 was docket from our pay for the pictures.

When I heard about the Rather controversy, I figured that was exactly how he had gotten the picture in uniform.

Remember the USMC Veteran’s slogan: “Once a Marine, always a Marine” — Old Dan Blather is just using it to his advantage as a ‘vet’.

Yes, I’m US Army vet of 20 years, but have a USMC 20 year vet cousin. On the other hand, one of my brother’s in law was medically discharged from USAF basic training when it was discovered he had a heart murmur. Unlike Dan Blather, he has not traded on the month or so in the USAF until his medical condition was discovered as making him “a veteran.”
