I’ve been fighting this battle for thirty years – Jefferey MacDonald was never a “Green Beret”, but the media likes to refer to him as such because it’s much more dramatic and anti-military to do so. In today’s USAToday<\/a>, Maria Puente tries to perpetuate the myth.<\/p>\n

Jeffery MacDonald, a Fort Bragg doctor who happened to be assigned the 5th Special Forces Group there as a surgeon, murdered his wife and daughters in their government quarters in 1970, then blamed it on drug-crazed hippies who chanted “acid is groovy, kill the pigs” while they murdered his family. He’s unsuccessfully fought the 1979 conviction. But, the media has been trying to pin it on his military training.<\/p>\n

MacDonald never attended, let alone graduated from, the Army’s Special Forces Qualification Course. He was a doctor, the only training he got from the Army was the same training every other doctor on the planet gets. I don’t care about the case at all, certainly I feel sorry for his wife’s family, but someone needs to start editing these so-called journalists who continue to get MacDonald’s qualifications wrong.<\/p>\n

So some dingus is writing a new book and all these years later, the media leans on it’s old stereotypes. Even the best selling 1983 book about the crime, Fatal Vision, the cover has merely a Green Beret on the cover;<\/p>\n

The USAToday story begins;<\/p>\n

The ex-Green Beret doctor convicted of killing his pregnant wife and two little daughters at Fort Bragg in 1970 is locked away in federal prison, and under usual circumstances would never be heard from again. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
