Average NCO sent us a link yesterday to a story about a 90-year-old judge, J. Taylor Phillips, who says he spent ten years in the Marine Corps which included combat during World War II and Korea. He also claims that he earned the Navy Cross and two Purple Hearts;<\/p>\n
He says his tour of duty involved fighting in World War II and the Korean War.<\/p>\n
“In the Marine Corps, the boats would leave, and the Navy would take them away. We had no where to go but in. We went in or got killed, one of the two.”<\/p>\n
For his service Phillips received two Purple Hearts and the Navy Cross. Phillips says with everything he does in life, the goal is always for good and to help someone. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
You can see the shadowbox in the video at the link.<\/p>\n
But, according to our buddy Doug Sterner, who we contacted last night, he never earned the Navy Cross for any conflict. POW Network doubts his claims for the Purple Hearts, too. But, hey that’s his right to lie like a dog and claim to be something he isn’t. Right?<\/p>\n
That’s probably why the Ninth Circus decided lying about military service is protected speech, so they can protect themselves when they go out to pick up women with someone else’s valor. <\/p>\n
“I was young. I was too young to go in really. I told them I was older than I was. One of the few times I really had to lie. I wanted so much to go in.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
But he lies everyday when he looks at the shadowbox in his office and tells himself that those medals are his medals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
