Is Nathan Phillips Too Young to be a Vietnam Vet?

He could have enlisted but the question is did he service in Vietnam. If not he is not a Vietnam veteran as alleged by the media, only a veteran.
I love the great investigative reporting by the so called journalists.

He has never claimed he served in Vietnam. His words are that he was a Vietnam-time vet.

An excerpt from this article is dated November 21, 2000. I'm wondering why you guys think he has to be a liar about his service.

"...There's only one flag at the site that could remotely be called a protest banner. Wedged into a pile of cut logs next to the main tepee, it demands attention for American soldiers missing in action in Vietnam.

"I'm a veteran," says Phillips, "a Marine Corps infantryman in the '70s, and I'm a patriot, and those soldiers need remembering."

Phillips says he was removed from his mother's care at age 5 and raised by a white family until 17, when he joined the Marines. As a result of his upbringing, he explains bitterly, he has lost much of his Omaha culture."

Im not running around playing activist in public and claiming to be a War Vet
 
Yes he did.
In the CNN interview he says:
“And I’m a Vietnam Veteran and I know. . . . . . .”

This boils down to Phillips with an agenda along with the other two groups.
Everyone has an agenda nowadays and they love the liberal media to cover it.

The action was over in 73' he could have been the last, i am 68 and was there, if he is 64 he could have been there in 73'


The era ended May 7, 1975, by order of President Gerald Ford. During the 11-year campaign, approximately 2.7 million American men and woman served; of those, 58,220 died and 153,000 were wounded. Today, there are fewer than 850,000 living Vietnam War Vets


January 27, 1973: President Nixon signs the Paris Peace Accords, ending direct U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. The North Vietnamese accept a cease fire. But as U.S. troops depart Vietnam, North Vietnamese military officials continue plotting to overtake South Vietnam.

He claims to be a Marine Nam Vet

The Marines left Nam in 1971!

Chief Cry Baby was 16 years old. The earliest he could have enlisted, either as an emancipated minor or with parental consent, was 1972.

none of the links mention he served in Vietnam and I see that the above quote does not, as well.....

If he served at any time during that entire era he is considered a "Vietnam War era veteran," like my brothers, neither of whom served in 'Nam. I am a member of the VFW Ladies Auxiliary based on my one brother's service (he was stationed in SK). The other served in the National Guard stateside for six years. It's possible that the media did not refer correctly to Mr. Phillips' service by including "era" in the descriptor.

Either way, the OP is just a typical Reichwinger's attempt to discredit the victim of a dishonorable attack by one of his ilk.

You keep repeating the lie that those kids attack Nathan. You are a dishonest person. You should stop spreading lies, liar.

8. "...he joined the Marines and served as an infantryman in the Vietnam War."

9. "He was a Native American veteran of the Vietnam War..." "Nathan Phillips, an Omaha elder, a veteran of the Vietnam War and the former director of the Native Youth Alliance..."

10. "The students were taking part in an anti-abortion rally on Friday, while Mr Phillips, a Vietnam War veteran..."

12. “You know, I’m from Vietnam times. I’m what they call a recon ranger. That was my role.

13. "I'm a veteran," says Phillips, "a Marine Corps infantryman in the '70s, and I'm a patriot, and those soldiers need remembering."
