As for Phillips, he seems to be a habitual protester, seeking to be seen or heard by plan. He is also being hailed by the media and as the aggrieved "Vietnam Vet". Apparently he went AWOL three times in his Marine service as a Refrigerator Mechanic, 72-76, before being discharged as a private. Never having gone overseas. I don't know what a Ranger Recon is but I don't think it was a ReferMech.

In his defense he has said he is a Vietnam "Time" veteran, and I do not think he has said ever he was a Vietnam veteran. That is something the media has likely assumed and carried with.
agreed, except the short version needs to include how willing the left was to sick the hounds on these kids. there are kooks out there on both sides, and we all know that, so the media has a responsibility to use their platforms responsibly. they aren’t. and it could
lead to tragedy.

how
many times does the
media recklessly jump the gun on stuff like this, before they get the facts first? lives get ruined from things like this.
