There is nothing any lower than a man who lies about his military service or lack thereof.

This is unusual because in the case of Connecticut the GOP’s candidate not only had balls enough to serve in uniform but he deployed with a combat unit and fought in Vietnam.

Agreed. Isn’t it a crime to misrepresent military service? If he claims to have a Vietnam Service Medal, he is subject to prison time. You had to ACTUALLY be in Vietnam for a number of days or be in a naval support role, regardless of time.

I know, because it took me forty years to get my medal. I was a young Marine stationed aboard USS Princeton(LPH-5) and landed helicopters in Vietnam twice. The trouble was, this was in 1962, and we were never there, officially.

BTW, I do NOT claim to be a Vietnam vet. That is for man better than I. RIP Corporal Laurence M. King, USMC KIA Quang Tin 09/28/65
