Looks like Chief Fake...is a FAKE

[volsrock]

CNN: Let me ask you about what happened to you. These boys in the middle of this group and you find yourself surrounded. How did that happen and what did that feel like as a person standing there face to face with a young man who seems to be staring at you or glaring at you? How would you describe that moment?

Phillips: When I was there and I was standing there and I seen that group of people in front of me and I seen the angry faces and all of that, I realized I had put myself in a really dangerous situation. Here's a group of people who were angry at somebody else and I put myself in front of that, and all of a sudden, I'm the one whose all that anger and all that wanting to have the freedom to just rip me apart, that was scary. And I'm a Vietnam veteran and I know that mentality of "There's enough of us. We can do this."

But the transcript does not match the audio. In the video (at around :39), Phillips quite clearly says, "And I'm a Vietnam-times veteran, and I know that mentality..." indicating not that he was in combat in Vietnam, but that he was in the military during that time and he remembers when crowds would taunt soldiers in uniform, and how it feels to be surrounded.

A second reference to Vietnam in the transcript (which bears the caveat that it was "lightly edited for flow and content") does not appear in the audio on the page at all, making what he said impossible to check against the text."

So the MSM pushed fake news with the Nam Vet claim?

They seem to push a lot of fake shit

[christiefan915]

Maybe one year out of four that he supposedly served the US was involved in Viet Nam. That does not make him a Vietnam "era" veteran, and it certainly doesn't make him a Vietnam veteran, which was what he was implying. Stolen valor.

Clearly you don't know the meaning of stolen valor. What valor awards did Phillips fraudulently claim to receive?

[USFREEDOM911]

Desperation.

Who in the hell says "Vietnam TIMES Veteran"; because everyone I know calls it the "Vietnam Era".

You mean the ones who claim libs hate the military?

Yes, that would be the same ones, as well as the ones who get huffy if not thanked enough for their service.

"Stolen valor" refers to someone claiming to have received honors while in the service, or who claims to have served, but did not. Mr. Phillips served. He stated he went into the service at age 17, which would have been 1971 for a man of his age. The war officially ended in 1975 when we evacuated Saigon. My brother served from 1968 -70, but in S. Korea. He is considered by the Veterans of Foreign Wars to be a "Vietnam-era vet" -- even though he did not set foot in Nam, and thus he would be eligible to join based on that, if he were still living. I was eligible to join the VFW ladies auxiliary based on his service; they sent away for his DD-214 to verify his status.

What is it with you derps trying so desperately to disparage that old man and his service, anyways? Shame on all of you.

Washington Post corrects: Native American Nathan Phillips, center of viral video incident on Mall, served in US Marines but did not serve in Vietnam.

So Phillips lied for a couple decades in dozens of interviews saying he was a Vietnam vet.
Oops!

Can you say Stolen Valor ?

Nope. They merely misquoted him.

“Fake news” is your trite, third grade level RW mantra.

Dontcha just wish you could send him a groan, asswipe?

[tinfoil]

Nobody uses the term "times" It's bullshit. Produce the video of him saying it.

[tinfoil]

Dontcha just wish you could send him a groan, asswipe?

I couldn't care less about the loser. He's discredited among rational people. Folks like you will believe anything.

[PostmodernProphet]

Oh? Did the Trump Investigation blow up in your face?

???....no......its blown up in yours.....

[PostmodernProphet]

Nowhere on Gateway Pundit or the other embedded links does Phillips say he served in Vietnam.

WTF......you were saying it just yesterday.......
