Looks like we have a case of Stolen Valor here.
“We have his DD-214. here is the truth…
Nathan Phillips aka Nathan Stanard was a refrigerator mechanic in the Marine Corps Reserves who went AWOL twice, and was confined to the brig and kicked out of the Marines as an E1 - Private in El Toro, CA after spending most of his USMC Reserve service in Lincoln, NE, and never left the States.
He was NOT a Recon Ranger (whatever the f*ck that is) which he is directly quoted as claiming. He also never went to Vietnam, even though he never corrected multiple major news outlets when they inferred that from his statements, and subsequently reported that he fought in Vietnam.
Senior Chief Special Warfare Operator (SEAL) Don Shipley already has records.”
Gee, wonder if TPM will run a front-pager on this topic. Ha-ha.
Looks like SOMEBODY’s got some ‘splainin’ to do, and it ain’t that kid. I graduated HS in 1970, and already at that time draft was reduced. By 1973, it was way way down, and no Marines went to 'Nam after 1971.
Stolen Valor. Shameful. I thought Indians were honorable people.
