What a dope. I agree with his sentiment that we should support the troops, but I don't know why he had to pretend like he served in Vietnam.

Say hello to Senator Linda McMahon. Her campaign is responsible for discovering this gem, and I imagine it will completely enrage any veteran who has ever seen time in a live war zone having bullets fly at them in defense of this country.

It is completely outrageous to lie about serving in a war zone like that and expect people not to find out, but apparently up until now he has always managed to get away with it.

What a stupid thing to lie about. It's not as if nobody was every going to find out. Not that I condone telling a fib, it is truly one thing to say it back home to get a chick to hop in the sack with you, its quite something else to run for public office and state it. Not only has he cost himself the election, he will likely be disbarred as well.

I know people will come on the blogosphere and comment that Bush and Cheney ddin't fight in Vietnam, but the fact is he never said they did in the first place.

If this guy can almost become a Senator and it takes his opponents this long to discover that he didn't actually serve in a war zone, maybe I could run for a political office after all and not have to worry about my skeletons bringing me down in flames :)

Some people would tell you that we elected a Kenyan national as President, and with enough of a coordinated effort any skeleton can be kept in the closet.

In Vietnam an Officer like Blumenthal would be…. (maybe smoked bomb first and then fragged later if he didn't change)………… the combat soldier knows some very valuable rules and conduct to survival ….. Many Shake and Bakes and 90 Day Wonders learned the hard way about truth and integrity …. never lie to a grunt…… people lives depend on truth and honest opinion.

Democrat Richard Blumenthal this nothing to do with your service as a Marine Reserves, that is an honor to your record and I respect your service to your country.
Do not twist this to make it about you...to benefit you.
This is about you stating something you where not............ Unintentional my ass …unintentional is once ….. you got caught in a lie and that disrespect my “Tour of Duty”.

Agreed. Not that Mrs. McMahon is any real prize either. ;)
