DENVER—An exhaustive investigation by Bob Newman of Newsradio 850 KOA (Denver), who is also a frequent guest military & terrorism analyst on the FOX News Channel and a Men's News Daily columnist, into the genuine Vietnam service record of radical University of Colorado Professor Ward Churchill, has revealed that Churchill’s claimed combat experience is in direct contradiction to his official military records.
After a confidential source provided Mr. Newman with documents pertaining to Professor Churchill’s military service and his employment at the University of Colorado, Mr. Newman began an investigation into the documents’ authenticity.
Using his own sources and calling upon the investigative skills of FOX News Channel’s Rita Cosby, Mr. Newman was able to verify that Professor Churchill, despite his public claim (in a 1987 Denver Post interview) of having been a paratrooper (Airborne qualified) who conducted long-range reconnaissance patrols (LRRPs; extremely dangerous missions conducted by some of the most elite soldiers in the US Army) hunting North Vietnamese in Vietnam during and after the Tet Offensive of 1968, and despite his claim that he was a point man in an infantry combat unit, was in fact trained only as a jeep driver and projectionist (he was trained to operate film-strip machines and movie projectors), according to official documentation from the National Personnel Records Center, the US repository for military records.
Denver attorneys Dan Caplis and Craig Silverman, both colleagues of Mr. Newman at Clear Channel Colorado, then acquired Professor Churchill’s original resume that resulted in his being hired by the University of Colorado. That resume matched exactly the resume Gunny Bob had acquired from his confidential source. On that resume, Professor Churchill cited no combat experience whatsoever, no Airborne training, no infantry training or experience and no winning of the Combat Infantry Badge. Instead, it said his experience in Vietnam consisted of his duties as a “Public Information Specialist,” as which he “wrote and edited the battalion newsletter and wrote news releases.”
Verification of Professor Churchill’s real Vietnam service record was completed with the direct assistance of the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis.
Gunny Bob notes that in the same 1987 Denver Post report, Professor Churchill admitted to being a bomb-building and weapons instructor for the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist group active in the 1970s.
Gunny Bob won a 2002 National Edward R. Murrow Award for investigative reporting on homeland security.

Sounds like he qualifies for a Purple Heart.
Send him one of Kerry's.
somehow I am just not surprised...
welcome to FR by the way.....
My oh my! It's like peeling away the layers of an onion,isn't it?
What a fraud!If they don't get rid of him the people of Colorado deserve him.
I'm starting to wonder if this guy is even telling the truth when he says he's from the planet Earth.
I bet he was on the elite projecter operator team in high school too. Is anyone surprised at this? If there's a part of his life he didn't fake it isn't obvious, and that includes his current position.
I think the house of cards are crumbling for this guy.
One question. How is it, that at a drop of a hat all kinds of milatary data is available on this low life... but no one can find anything regarding John Kerry's milatary history.

"Professor Churchill admitted to being a bomb-building and weapons instructor for the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist group active in the 1970s."
This guy really needs to fry!
you mean a ribbon?
Nice work!
There is nothing on the KOA website about this.
Wait a minute : you mean he wasnt in Cambodia with John Kerry and Al Gore? I am dissappointed.
This guy isnt an Indian , He isnt a war hero and he doesnt have a Doctorate. Sounds like he is a Bull shei'te artist who has just about bull shei'ted his way out of a job.
Sometimes it is better to be called a Professor in silence than it is to open your mouth and prove you have no business even coming close to a college campus.
Too bad he didn't lie on his resume. It would make it easier for CU to fire him.
As I said on another thread, Ward Churchill is a 60's re-enactor.
REal Civilk War re-enactors have my admiration; they pack heavy packs for miles and miles and eat terrible Civil War Army fgood etc. etc.
But to be a 60's re-enactor all you have to do is get some cameras on you, and exhibit all the fashionable leftist ATTITUDES of contempt and defiance of the authorities, arrogance, wear a 60's period costume, wave around an AK47 but never really fire it, and there you are! A 60's re-enactor!
Damn, just think if Kerry had been elected, Churchill would have probably been nominated as Secretary of Defense.
Then why didn't I see Newman listed in your Op/Ed section?
Ping to more Ward Churchill lies.
Military experience is like sex. Those that talk about all their exploits are the ones that just ran the projector. I wonder if he had a pocket protector in his shirt?
Wow! He was an "Army (office bitch) Of One!"
...and I thought they had some random MOSs these days...sheesh!
"Verification of Professor Churchill’s real Vietnam service record was completed with the direct assistance of the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis."
Wonder why no one can get direct assistance in obtaining the Traitor John Kerry's service records.
No no. You guys are wrong. He was a Marine SEAL who flew combat missions over North Vietname in 1969-71 in an SR-71 fighter jet. He shot down 12 MIG-29's over Hanoi in his SR-71 that he flew from the aircraft carrier Hornet.
The worst about about this investigation is that if Churchill misrepresented his military experience, he probably misrepresented his experience with the Weathermen because he would have had no military expertise to share with them.
Maybe he was a member of an elite projectionist unit...
Now, the second question - why didn't Bob Newman break this himself? It's quite a scoop.
But he committed "perjury" when he declared Native American status in his EEOC forms.
Well well... another screaming leftist lying about his military background... there's a shocker.... (NOT)
Lying on an employment form isn't perjury, you are not under oath.... It is however FRAUD.
But he committed "perjury" when he declared Native American status in his EEOC forms.
Good post!
hell not only that, but he is carrying the weapon of choice for the left.....
John Kerry is wondering if he shot any 15 year old Cambodians in the back or not....
Weather underground is currently a really good Weather site. http://wunderground.com From bombmaking to weather reporting... Wow what a change. (;-)
Ward Churchill's Military Claims Proven False
Gunny Bob Breaks Story of Prof. Ward Churchill’s Real Military Background
http://www.mensnewsdaily.com/archive/newswire/news2005/0205/021105-ward-churchill.htm
the link worked for me
Correction: Poseur Alert (gotta use the French, doncha know)
I have to think that Churchill never anticipated that he'd be called out on this. Unlike Kerry, who has probably been working for years to get the fix done, in anticipation of a run for the presidency.
A previous thread detailed that they were Affirmative Action documents from EEOC that got he and one other "Native American" the job interview which he lied on. Those are government docs, not a job application.
I wasn't questioning the link. I was asking why Newman wasn't reporting this himself. It's an explosive allegation and quite a scoop - but I wonder why Newman is letting himself get scooped on it.
Again, that is FRAUD.. you can only commit perjury if you are under oath in a legal case.
Lying on a government or official document is FRAUD, not perjury.
Why in thunder does this perverted anti-American get almost unbridled coverage on the TV News - even FOX News?
If he ever scratched a finger while loading film into a projector he would qualify for a Purple Heart under the Kerry standard.
"Verification of Professor Churchill’s real Vietnam service record was completed with the direct assistance of the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis."
I detest Ward Churchill.
But I doubt the St. Louis center would release his military records, without Churchill's explicit permission.
LOL! Times change but character doesn't. I remember as a kid the bombing of post offices and the anti war protesters. To this day I see a VW bus and become biased towards to occupants.
The VC flags really got to me and I was only 5 or 6 at the time.
Good question.How much is available under the FOIA ?
He probably lied about being a Weatherman, too. If they can't fire this guy after all his lies and treason have been publicly exposed, the university system is even more broken than I thought it was.
