Face it everyone, republicans will trash veterans whether they ever deployed or not
He's the one out there claiming he was a Vietnam veteran. AKA he's a big ******* liar.
Washington Post made an error in reporting he deployed to vietnam. Nathan Phillips himself never said he deployed. But he did serve from 72 to 76.
Hate to piss in your cornflakes.....
Here’s the exchange:
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.”****************************
As Smith notes, Phillips “actually linked his supposed service in the Vietnam War to what happened on Friday”:
