\"Ralph<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The folks at Professional Soldiers<\/a> sent us their work on this fellow Ralph Abraham, running for office in Louisiana\u2019s Fifth Congressional District;<\/p>\n

\"Ralph<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

At his website<\/a>, he says that he was a 1st Lieutenant in Co C 2\/20th Special Forces April 1986 \u2014 June 1989. The truth is is that he was appointed a second lieutenant in April 1986, and he didn’t report to the 2\/20th until April, 1987 and he served there until February 1988 when his military service effectively ended and he went into the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). He never attended the Special Forces Qualification Course. In fact, during that period, there were very few infantry officers without a Ranger Tab, and Ralph, here, was one of them.<\/p>\n

So, our buddy, Sergeant Major Snaquebite had a conversation with Mr. Abramson’s campaign manager and he tried the Flemron Dickey<\/a> excuse;<\/p>\n

\"Abraham<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Abrhamam was issued a green beret so he was one. The closest he got to Special Forces training was he did complete jump school, so I guess there are a whole bunch of five-jump chumps who can claim they’re special forces by his standard.<\/p>\n

Yeah, I know that he served in a SFG, but so did Flemron. Besides, those guys at Professional Soldiers are all special forces, so I guess they’re the experts on who can call themselves special forces and who can’t. I mean, I depend on the state bar associations to tell me who is a real lawyer.<\/p>\n

I can count on one hand the number of LTs I knew who were in the infantry and not Ranger qualified, so Ralph, here, wasn’t on the fast track and serving only two years on his Reserve commitment (it was supposed to be eight years back then, like it is now), I’m guessing that the Reserves weren’t especially keen on keeping him around. Although, his campaign manager tells JD that Abrahamm went to the IRR because he got accepted into veterinary medical school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
