An overlooked correction to a story published at WAPO-
Correction: Earlier versions of this story incorrectly said that Native American activist Nathan Phillips fought in the Vietnam War. Phillips said he served in the U.S. Marines but was never deployed to Vietnam.

Is he even native American?
If he feels like he served in Vietnam, I guess that is good enough for the left
Well hell then, that means Elvis is a Viet Nam era war hero too.
Stolen valor always “miss-characterize” their service….”I served during Vietnam” implying to the average reader / listener that he was in Vietnam but skillfully leaving enough “wiggle room” to deny your assumption.
“And just like that, he went from baby killer, to Saint Nathan.” – Forrest
He’s 1/0024 English. I can tell by his teeth.
I guess you just have to identify as a Vietnam vet.
He speak with heap big forked tongue.
And he’s monetized this whole deal.
Has any one verified he was a Marine? The dental issue… the horror, the horror.
I was around in ‘Viet Nam times’. Just call me Colonel Kurtz.
He also said on Saturday that he knew what it was like to face a mob. Like from trying to beat the crowd to the liquor store to stock up on firewater.
What do you mean, not a Vietnam vet? He served with “my” Senator Richard Sue-the-all, A K A Da Nang Dick.

@Moe Tom….
Looked to me like he had only one discolored tooth. That makes him 1/32 English.

“And he’s monetized this whole deal.”
His first phone call should be to the dentist.
That fool’s teeth look like falling dominoes.
Well Hell’s Bells! Weren’t we all “around during the Vietnam war time”?!
This fraud was easy to spot.
Being a veteran is VERY important to the left, as long as there guy is, and your guy isn’t. GHW Bush was a vet, BJ Clinton wasn’t (he was a documented draft dodger); no big deal. Same with Bob Dole vs Clinton. GW Bush was a vet, so was Al Gore and John Fucking Kerry, but Bush was the wrong kind of vet, so he became a “draft dodger”. Hussein Obama wasn’t a vet, and John McCain was, so no big deal (John McCain only became a “war hero” after he went after Trump). Trump was not a vet due to being 4F, so he was a “draft dodger”, Hillary really, REALLY wanted to be a Marine, but those sexists wouldn’t let her enlist, but she WAS under sniper fire in Bosnia.
Yup:

Marine or Not, Vet or Not, he remains a worthless, agitating leftist shit bird.
I sent a Christmas card to a soldier who was in Vietnam when I was in elementary school. Does that mean I served during the “Vietnam time”?
What do you suppose that guy eats with those teefers anyway?
^^^ Peyote & Coke… then he hallucinates about Vietnam.
He was a bellhop at the Waldorf-Astoria. “I proudly wore the uniform!”
🙄
He made it sound like he was a VN Vet
What he says in the EMU 2015 video:

Well as a Vietnam Veteran ______ (times?)
Served in the United States Marines from 1972 to 76 out May 5th, 76
That’s a year after Viet Nam ended
So I understand freedom of speech. . .
I read, don’t recall which outlet, when it first broke, that quoted him as being in the “military during Vietnam time”.
I’ve heard tons of guys through the years, use similar wordage as a prevarication to lead to the assumption of serving there… all of’em full of shit and recognizable as such to anyone paying attention. The newspukes hear/report what they want to as we all know.
But, misquoted or not, the guy is an asswipe of the highest order of asswipery
Might be wrong but this might be Otis from the ‘Andy Griffith’ show.
Everyone needs a job,,,
My years are long in too,,
I believe this.
Being the cynic that I am, I have curiosities about the verification of his theatre of service. So far, the only source I have seen is from the washington post. That is owned by bezos, who also owns amazon. He also provides storage for the Department of Defense and Pentagon through cloud storage. Did he access that information to make this announcement? I know other organizations are pursuing this guy’s history, but they have all also said that such a pursuit takes time. Then suddenly, wp has it.
I’m just wondering about that, and also if there might have been an inappropriate breach of security to obtain it.
just silly me, I guess, but I wonder about these things.
Whoa! That’s wierd! I just watched the 2-hr video of the event at the Lincoln Memorial where Nathan Phillips confronted the Covington High students. I was going to paste it in here for you guys but….it’s GONE! JUST! Uploaded by John Duncan. A bit over two hours, but the important stuff was at 1:06 where Phillips comes over from the far corner of the plaza headed right towards the students. They had just finished what I presumed to be a sports cheer: one boy tore off his shirt and hat and pantomimed a “Hulk” impersonation, turning at the last to face down the Black Israelites who had been mercilessly taunting the boys. Then all of the boys started jumping up and down chanting. THAT seemed to be what brought Phillips over with his drum and entourage. They walked right in to the middle of the group. The most popular video shows him beating the drum in the one boy’s face, but at that moment the rest of the kids were doing their jumping chant towards the Black Israelites NOT the Native American guy. If you can find the whole thing, scroll to 1:06 to catch the action. I gotta learn how to save this stuff on my computer before it’s gone. Any hints for me on how to do that?

Strict diet of CNN coached by Michael Strathan,. Will have a morning show and game show for life, this one will,,
Excuse my earlier comment, Otis was white, makes it a never will be for network TV
Must be a member of the Lyingsackashit tribe.
MerryMouse: “…and cause teeth to be loosened.”
I imagine the same thing could happen the next time he starts telling stories, especially in a bar.
That video will be back.
@ the good general – I really dig Wictor BUT to say he was the first to post that line? He needs to come to IOTW more…
We have been talking about this for three days now!
THat was from the Vogue article…

Give the guy a break he probably killed too many brain cells when he couldn’t afford the firewater and started huffing paint.
MerryMouse,
please consider pasting, Thanks
Whoops! John Duncan re-uploaded the video taking out some of the ranting by the Black Israelites.Scroll to 1:08 and watch the kid in the blue sweatshirt run down the stairs to do the “Hulk”. The kids start the jumping chant at 1:11 and Phillips shows up at 1:12:22..as if on cue!

Makes Live PD look like it is, censored crap. Thanks!
Black Israelite’s taken out, shame,,, no offense meant, just leaves questions, that’s all.
Late update, Just tried to watch it, sorry, a well planned drone strike here is needed.
The WaPo put that correction at the end of an article that remains littered with proven falsehoods from beginning to end.
But that is their sole correction.
MerryMouse here’s a video I saw yesterday that’s over an hour

IDK how to save them–I only know how to record a video while it’s playing I guess but that won’t be high quality
there are and always will be bad exJarheads!

This should have been obvious in hindsight. These virtue-signalling vermin inevitably have a sordid past.
I just saw a video announcing Nathan was a refrigerator mechanic while serving and went AWOL three times.
GatewayPundit has the story.
Gateway Pundit article https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/01/retired-seal-nathan-phillips-not-a-vietnam-vet-he-was-a-refrigerator-mechanic-who-went-awol-three-times/ it says someone got his form DD214 and alsos says the VN lie ‘was previously used to help raise money for a documentary about his life.’ I think that’s the one I saw yesterday about the cancer treatment of his late wife. It’s out there somewhere
He may not have served in Vietnam but was in the battle of the national cathedral maybe he just confused the two
