Personally I have no problem with someone who joined the National Guard or USAR to avoid RVN service, or had a job as a REMF messkit repair technician in South Dakota for his two years, (or shoveled sheet in Louisiana), or who never was called for active duty due to a high lottery number, but there is a special place in Hell and my hate for phony war vets!

Saw a guy in New York City with a MOH lapel pin about 10 years ago. He was fat, 40 and unfit. He said he received it for "a big battle in Saudi." At my "request", he removed it and threw it down the gutter drain.

Blumenthal is a Phony Vietnam Con Artist. That’s probably why President Trump said it.

He is. As phony as Obama or hilLIAR

I can’t begin to express the contempt for POS like Bloomie. He represents exactly what’s wrong with American politics.

The hypocrisy and fraud stinks to High Heaven

Imagine if the media showed as much vitriol to Blumenthal as they did to Trump after he dissed McCain. I’d say stolen valor is a bigger insult to veterans than a few mean words.

There’s a place for assholes in the Senate. All you need is a voting population that doesn’t care.

I agree with you. The culture in the late 1960s and early 1970s was that no one wanted to be drafted to serve in Viet Nam. There were situations of recruiters getting their kids safe assignments. Look at GWB...technically risked being a war pilot, but there was no chance he'd be sent.

What was unacceptable was lying about ones military service. Blumenthal crossed that line, and doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong with that. The bigger question is what happened to CT. They really have a sorry state of politicians they elect.

This jerk claimed he was in Nam when he wasn’t....he also claimed medals he hadn’t been awarded. He was just a wanna be. He used these lies to get elected

Once again Trump is correct

It’s “The People’s Republic of Connecticut”

Crime? One does not go into Bridgeport alone, day or night. It’s the “youts”, you know.

Really? I have a dead friend that thought that. He tried to convince me to join the reserves instead of enlisting as a regular. He said I was dumb for volunteering in 1971.

" The lying Senator should keep his trap shut."

An who was that congress critter that claimed to have flown combat missions in Vietnam, when he just flew cargo between Japan and Saigon.
