<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nMrBill sends us a link to the San Antonio Express News<\/a> that tells the story of Jack Pratt, Junior, the mayor of Kerrville who won his office proclaiming that he was 4-tour Vietnam Special Forces veteran. He started telling that tale more than three years ago. Folks started wondering about it recently, and so they got a FOIA:<\/p>\n His military records indicate he spent nearly eight years in the Army but just seven weeks in Vietnam as a personnel supervisor before leaving the service as a staff sergeant in 1971.<\/p>\n […]<\/p>\n Pratt, 73, denied that he embellished his resume but declined to provide documents to substantiate his claimed achievements.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not going to help you with any of this because you\u2019re trying to crucify me,\u201d he said last week. \u201cI don\u2019t need to confirm my personal history.\u201d <\/p>\n […]<\/p>\n National Personnel Records Center documents say Pratt was a radio operator in Germany in 1964, a personnel sergeant in Thailand from 1967 to 1969 and in Vietnam from May 25 to July 15, 1971. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n Pratt blames politics for the sudden scrutiny – but you know, if I was running for office and one of the reasons I was telling voters that they should vote for me is because of my military service, I’d have documentation in my pocket – and I’d make sure the NPRC has everything correct. The last thing I’d do is drag this thing out.<\/p>\n But, Jack Pratt appears to be nothing more than another Flemron Dickey<\/a> – it looks like he has also embellished his education credentials and his work experience, as well as his career as a personal clerk that morphed into a Special Forces killer dude and seven weeks became four years. By the way, Kerrville, speaking from experience, the first thing the phonies do is blame the military’s record-keeping. The second thing they do is blame politics (or some other haters) for the sudden scrutiny. They never provide documentation to exonerate themselves (so you look like you’re on a witch hunt). They always keep digging hoping you’ll get tired of beating a dead horse before they get tired of digging.<\/p>\n Our friends at Special Forces Poser Patrol<\/a> have his records;<\/p>\n![\"Jack](\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jack-Pratt-FOIA1a-232x300.jpg\")
