I would love to see his actual personnel records. I’d bet a paycheck he had a Bad Conduct discharge that was “upgraded” by Carter, probably for meeting with the North Vietnamese in Paris without permission while a reserve officer.
He spent maybe 6 months in Nam and used some obscure rule that 3 purple hearts is the ticket out of there. He made up a few stories of injuries to get those purple hearts.
I never even dreamed of doing that while I was there.
His “Man Servant” should spank this weasel.
