This liar never went to Vietnam; and did not spend any time in the military. He sounds like a lot of draft dodgers that resurfaced after the war with mouthful of lies that couldn't be checked.

He obviously had an issue with the police and Caucasians in general. Participation and instigating a riot and practically bragging about it. I think I'm done listening to this. I do thank you for your service sir and glad you made it home. My uncle wasn't so fortunate during TET.

Wait a minute--recruits were issued Class A uniforms at the reception center back in the 60's. The story about the pimp getting them Class As is nonsense.

Yes sir, Mr Clean you are exactly right. This draft dodger has not been a member of the military.

This guy is a wannabe lawyer in Vietnam that has access to files and destroy s them. He should have been court-martialed back then. I'm calling BS on nearly all of his story !!

@mohawkdriver2504 Жыл бұрын

Does he ever mention why he was dismissed? Appears that he is exploiting he victimhood care as an excuse for his mental problems. I question his actual service in Vietnam. I was there at exactly the same time and got through the ordeal mostly unscathed. You will notice he does not talk about the remaining eleven months in country, so suspect his service was unsatisfactory. One weird dude .
