This Dick Blumenthal even looks a little like Eliot Spitzer.
And now it turns out, as somebody said yesterday, even Jane Fonda spent more time in Vietnam than he did.
We’re talking about Connecticut Atty. Gen. Dick Blumenthal - you can call him “General.” .....

Its my qualified opinion as the first American to walk on the surface of mars, that Dick Blumenthal is lying.

Blumenthal served six months in the Marines training at Parris Island, S.C., and six years in the Marine Reserve, none of it overseas. He joined a unit in Washington that conducted exercises and focused on local projects, such as organizing a Toys for Tots drive, the Times reported. Before that, Blumenthal got five deferments to avoid going to war between 1965 and 1970.

Blumenthal was in Vietnam before he wasn't.

Sadly America just doesn't appreciate heroes like myself and Dick Blumenthal any more.

Did he get any purple heart medals? Was he shot in the ass by rice grains? Was he on a covert mission?

I’m sure he will tell us that we are misremembering what he said.

I’m sure he will tell us that we are misremembering what he said. So we should not misunderestimate his honorable service.

When I came home from the war every guy I met who said he was a vet was special forces, force recon or navy seals. Oh yeah and half of them were POW. We must have had whole divisions surrendering to the enemy.
