So Big John and some of his friends bumped into this guy David Hagerman who is trying to raise money for some land to serve as a monument for his Vietnam Vets Memorial and Celebration Party<\/a> in Bedford, Virginia. He calls himself Captain Dave and as you can see in the photo, he claims he’s an infantryman. The folks I’ve talked to say there’s a lot of other BS he speaks, but I’m not willing to engage in that kind of stuff – we just need photographic proof. He’s not a captain and he wasn’t a first sergeant either;<\/p>\n

In that VetFriends picture, he’s trying to make us believe that he’s one of those guys in that picture above, obviously in Vietnam with the jungle fatigues and sand bags – so show me which is him, please.<\/p>\n

He did serve from 1969 to 1972, but he was one of those medical people who specialized in eyes, ears, noses and throats and got out of the Army as a Specialist Five. He spent the Vietnam War years in Germany at the hospital in Franfurt. <\/p>\n

I have a friend who served in Germany during the same period and he never tried to give anyone the impression that he was in Vietnam – he was a draftee, too. My point is that not everyone who was in the Army during Vietnam went to Vietnam, through no fault of their own. Everyone has their job to do, and there’s no shame in that. But there is shame in pretending to be something you’re not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
