“There is a lot of anecdotal evidence of this phenomenon of exaggerating military service by people who feel nostalgic because they missed their war,”
Nostalgic? WHF does this mean? Nostalgic? Nostalgic because they missed the war? I have no idea if this POS had any draft deferrments or not, but would any of you care to make a few side bets?
Their elitism could not be bothered by something the little people could take care of. Does clintoon come to mind? Gutless pieces of shit not worthy of being called an American. Nor worthy of being called a man.
Anytime, anywhere asshole.
From what I've read here, he had 5 deferments from '65-'70.
“We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam,” Blumenthal said to a group gathered in Norwalk in March 2008. But Blumehthal according to the Times, obtained five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took steps to avoid going to war.
“In 1970, with his last deferment in jeopardy, he enlisted in the Marine Reserve, landing a coveted spot in a unit in Washington, D.C., which virtually guaranteed that he would not be sent to Vietnam. The unit conducted part-time drills and other exercises and focused on local projects, like fixing a campground and organizing a Toys for Tots drive,” The Times report says.
