Not surprising...the man is another GOP type chickehawk...served in the Nixon administration.

The deferments allowed Mr. Blumenthal to complete his studies at Harvard; pursue a graduate fellowship in England; serve as a special assistant to The Washington Post’s publisher, Katharine Graham; and ultimately take a job in the Nixon White House.

-Bastard!

“We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam,” Mr. Blumenthal said to the group gathered in Norwalk in March 2008.
...

There was one problem: Mr. Blumenthal, a Democrat now running for the United States Senate, never served in Vietnam. He obtained at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took repeated steps that enabled him to avoid going to war, according to records.

...

In 1970, with his last deferment in jeopardy, he landed a coveted spot in the Marine Reserve, which virtually guaranteed that he would not be sent to Vietnam. He joined a unit in Washington that conducted drills and other exercises and focused on local projects, like fixing a campground and organizing a Toys for Tots drive.

another neo-con chicekhawk??

In 1963, he entered Harvard College, where he met Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who served on the faculty there and guided Mr. Blumenthal’s senior thesis on the failure of government poverty programs.

-good riddance.

The Democratic Party must be so proud.

At a ceremony honoring veterans and senior citizens who sent presents to soldiers overseas, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut rose and spoke of an earlier time in his life.

“We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam,” Mr. Blumenthal said to the group gathered in Norwalk in March 2008. “And you exemplify it. Whatever we think about the war, whatever we call it — Afghanistan or Iraq — we owe our military men and women unconditional support.”

Those 11 fact checkers needed something to do since Palin's book hit the best seller list.

 

[Lost Soul]

You stupid cock smoker, if you look around this forum alone the right have served 5 to 1 over you lefty cockroaches.

Not to mention that the majority of the US military supports Republicans.

You are one sorry excuse for human skin.

Let's see: Fact check a book, fact check a Senate candidate.

I believe Mr Shaman is falling back on the 'Mom, he did it too' defense. Most intelligent people know this as no defense at all but the droolers take a few years to catch up. Be kind to dumb animals, mo chara.

Although, this obsessed use of various colors does make one wonder whether he's a serial killer.

That's not surprising.

The overtime (required), just to get half-way thru one o' her books, violates most U.S. Labor Laws. No fact-checker deserves that kind o' punishment.​

LOL! What a moron.

In 1970, with his last deferment in jeopardy, he landed a coveted spot in the Marine Reserve, which virtually guaranteed that he would not be sent to Vietnam. He joined a unit in Washington that conducted drills and other exercises and focused on local projects, like fixing a campground and organizing a Toys for Tots drive.

He sounds just like George W. Bush.

and he seems to have been fond of deferments like cheney.

No, it's more like 'Mom, are there that-many political-newbies who're unfamiliar with Republican-cowards?'

How fuckin' stupid are these people to say such things when they know it's complete bullshit? Do they think such claims will slip through without being questioned, especially during a campaign?
