Why did the Demoncrat LIE about being a Green Beret?

More benefits?

Just plain CRAZY?

Maybe he should voluntarily admit himself to an insane asylum.

I don’t understand why he felt the need to embellish in the first place! Vietnam vet, 2 bronze stars. That’s a pretty darn big accomplishment, you think? With all the people out there claiming to be forming SF, I’m beginning to wonder just how “Special” the Special Forces really are.

The lack of a "D" or "R" leads me to believe he is a "D"

I just don’t get this one... The guy served with distinction, 2 bronze stars, exemplory record, there was absolutely no need or reason for him to embelish it.

Its one thing where you have the “Winter Soldier” guys who just lie flat out about their service... either never having served at all or were booted out or served in the mess hall as a potatoe peeler or something. This guy had a record of service to be proud of... I have no idea why he did this.

Some of the news reports seem to indicate that he allegedly “padded” his resume in order to obtain increased military benefits. But how does earning the GB accomplish this? I don’t get it.

I am a real Green Beret - and the mayor is a PHONEY SOILDER. There is only one proper way to lie about your military record - and that is in a bar talking to members of the opposite sex...

And yeah - after a few beers - I was once a space shuttle door gunner

Although it is tempting to pile on the guy because he’s a Democrat it appears the guy is a real life hero and served our country well. I wish him well. I think of him as I do Bob Kerry I just can’t understand why he’s a Democrat. Heroes do go astray Duke Cunningham was a hero to me and a Republican. He also turned out to be corrupt.

This really is ashamed. As an infrequent visitor to AC, the city has improved greatly in recent years. He was the first AC mayor to have not been indicted in around 20 plus years. This was really a noteworthy achievement.

With two Bronze Stars under his belt why on earth did he feel the need to embellish?

Human nature is endlessly fascinating.
