Not defending the professional victim. But I’ve heard other VN era veterans self identify as “Vietnam Vets” before.
I guess we need to firm up the definitions? For example, is a sailor on a ship who sailed to the Persian Gulf a gulf war vet even if he never went ashore? Is a drone operator flying remotely from the US a GWOT vet? Not my call to make. I expect the VA, DAV, VFW all have their own opinions. Gunny wasn’t a real Gunny either... |

Like him, I was born in 1955. I joined at the age of 17 in 1973 about 3 months before turning 18.
Vietnam was winding down. Many coming out in 1973. Not so many going in. Not saying it couldn't have happened but very unlikely. Marine embassy guys came out in 1975. I'm a Vietnam era vet. Never claimed that made me a "Vietnam veteran". Almost everyone I served with had gone, but not me. None of those guys would claim to be "Vietnam era" vets. There is a simple solution: Ask him to name some of his buddies who served with him in Vietnam. Track a few down. The bullshit stops there.

Sometimes I just dont understand you guys at all! Clicking a mouse twice to bring up a cold link is too much trouble for you but typing out a whole post in the thread to whine about it isn't. That's some whacked out shit right there!  OP fixed his link but it's all about efficiency. There are a lot of links and a lot of people here. If I can save the employees at a company one click via a better design, that one click is very quickly multiplied. One click turns into thousands of clicks and over time, hundreds of thousands of clicks. That's money saved. You are just one person, there are many people here. When dealing with large numbers, small changes have large effects. Also, keep in mind that many people use this site via mobile devices, a hot link is much easier. In that case specifically, an extra step from one person, saves extra steps for lots of other people. |

Whats this company that you're valiantly stepping forward to save all these expensive clicks for and whats your association with it? |

The media loved the image of young white nazis in maga hats tormenting a person of color. Remember the blue eyed racist debil who murdered jazmine Barnes? It's war on white people. Most lefties are scared pacifists or anti-gun. Sure there are the crazies and the hardcore militant, but they are just that crazies. |

I should probably get more outraged about the stolen valor folks, but mostly I just laugh. Can you imagine how shitty their self-image must be? That's where this sort of behavior come from. Look around here for some perfect examples. |

I'm not trying to sound edgy here, but, who? Seriously, I've been staying away from the news cycle, what's happening? ETA: The Native American Drum Beater from the video? The media conveniently portrayed it as the school kids harassing him.

And he wasn't a grunt, he was in the wing. I cringe when I hear non-combat arms vets call themselves veterans of such and such war. 3 hot meals and a snack every watch on a destroyer is not the same as surviving Khe Sanh. Quoted:

Never deployed, I don’t consider myself a vet despite the National Defense Service Ribbon. My landlord where I used to live is half deaf from IEDs and combat action. He is that kind of vet. As far as the fake news and that professional Indian activist? He seems like a piece of shit. |
