Hey, hey, no fair, no fair! You’re picking on a MINORITY here, you shouldn’t be picking his story apart, and in public, too!

Anybody says he is an Indian (or the more politically correct “Native American”), IS one in the eyes of the law. The business of being a war veteran, with combat experience, is also supposed to be sacrosanct. But if it turns out to be a *L*I*E*, then things shift to a different perspective.

“This clown is as useless as the wooden Indian in Wall Drug. Wall, South Dakota.”

The Wall Drug Wooden Indian serves a purpose. He/it is a logo for Wall Drug.

Well, would you believe he was a “Recon Ranger”?

How about a “Power Ranger”?

Forest Ranger?

Okay . . . Fake Ranger?

No, no, no ... he was a Loan Arranger!

If he was a Recon Marine he would have been sent to RVN,
trust me.
He sounds like just another bullshit guy trying to impress others with respect to his bold and fearless, but totally fake combat service.
I am sick of them.

I wish someone would collect a used cup, or something, and run it for DNA.

The custom is to use the descriptor “Vietnam Veteran” for those that were in country (not necessarily in a combat role or zone). For those that served during the Vietnam war but did not actually serve in Vietnam, they use the descriptor “Vietnam Era Veteran”.

If he served, there will be a document, a “DD-214.”
