Liar Liar
At a ceremony honoring veterans and senior citizens who sent presents to soldiers overseas, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut rose and spoke of an earlier time in his life.
“We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam,” Mr. Blumenthal said to the group gathered in Norwalk in March 2008. “And you exemplify it. Whatever we think about the war, whatever we call it — Afghanistan or Iraq — we owe our military men and women unconditional support.”
There was one problem: Mr. Blumenthal, a Democrat now running for the United States Senate, never served in Vietnam. He obtained at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took repeated steps that enabled him to avoid going to war, according to records.
Ok maybe he misstated and this was only a one time thing...
“When we returned, we saw nothing like this,” Mr. Blumenthal said. “Let us do better by this generation of men and women.”
“I served during the Vietnam era,” he said. “I remember the taunts, the insults, sometimes even physical abuse.”
Of course Mr. pants on fire, says he misstated and didn't know that all the bios the newspapers were writing about him mentioned he served in Vietnam. This gives to the rise of the old adage "say something enough, even a lie and soon it becomes common belief then the truth". No matter he still wants you to send him to the US Senate, so get to it! (Oh yea, he is a Democrat)

I guess it shouldn't surprise me, since the most important goal for a coward is to hide his cowardice.
I say that anyone who falsely claims military service should be immediately enlisted, regardless of age, then put on the front lines as a private in a penal battalion. I'd even volunteer to serve as an NCO in such a battalion, where I'd happily shoot anyone who failed to follow orders or showed the least indication of cowardice in the face of the enemy.
Like Davis and Fundy, I volunteered for Marine Corps combat arms, then served honorably alongside other men of conscience to obtain my good service record. People who try to falsify military service are not even human -- they are parasites on society. They should be used as the only thing they're worth: bullet-stoppers. Let them die in a pool of their own guts and shit.
I'll drink to that!
