Native American Activist Nathan Phillips Never Served in Vietnam — But Raised Money By Saying He Did

The Washington Post has had to issue yet another retraction after falsely claiming that far-left Native American activist Nathan Phillips served in the Vietnam War. He didn’t — but this lie was previously used to help raise money for a documentary about his life.

On Monday, the Washington Post quietly issued a correction to their story about the activist, saying that while he served in the Marines, he was never deployed to Vietnam.

“Correction: Earlier versions of this story incorrectly said that Native American activist Nathan Phillips fought in the Vietnam War. Phillips served in the U.S. Marines from 1972 to 1976 but was never deployed to Vietnam,” the correction reads.

It reminds of an old joke my Daddy used to tell:

Q: Why should you never trust a man who says he is the head of his household?

A: Because he will lie about other things, too.

You all have it wrong. You're missing the point-He IDENTIFIES as Indian, that makes him one. Next he'll identify as a Princess( either kind of Indian will do, but the Arab kind have more money).
Being real Native American shouldn't give anyone a pass re. obnoxious behavior. Neither should being handicapped or old. An azz is an azz of any color.
