This is one of those things I just don't understand. There was nothing dishonorable about what he did during the war. He signed up with the reserves. In the Marines for God's sakes (I'm assuming that means boot camp at Paris Island). Not an an easy thing to do. He didn't want to go to Vietnam, but who did? No shame in finding an honorable way to serve that minimized your chances of being sent. It doesn't mean he couldn't have been deployed.
So why lie about it? What's the point? He till took the oath and signed up. Good enough for me. Its like Hillary yammering on about snipers in Sarejevo. Again, why? She went there and did her job and saw some serious things that would have made anyone grow up a bit. Why add the "action sequence"? It makes no sense particularly since its all public record and could be easily found out. Did they think no one would look while they were running for national office?

The only thing I will give this guy credit for is that he probably did experience the ugly side of the anti-war stuff. Anyone in uniform then did, no matter where they served. Beyond that, WTF?
