<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nThe folks at Military Phonies<\/a> sent us their work on this character Thomas Wayne Hudson<\/a>. He’s walking across America to shed light on an unresponsive Veterans’ Affairs Department – an admirable endeavor. The problem comes when he calls himself a disabled Vietnam veteran. From Military Phonies;<\/p>\n [I]t appears that Thomas Wayne Hudson may have deceived the General Public into believing that he is a disabled US Air Force Vietnam Veteran. One or two media mishaps are understandable. Multiple media outlet mishaps without any retractions can only mean one thing \u2014 that the media has been misinformed about Thomas Wayne Hudson\u2019s military service record. The wearing of the two AF Vietnam Ball caps are a prime example of the deception. There is not a law against wearing the hats but he does so when being interviewed so has to be aware that people are making that association.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n His FOIA says that he spent two years and a couple of months in the Air Force, he didn’t spend anytime in Vietnam, evidenced by his lack of any service awards. His only award is the National Defense Service Medal;<\/p>\n Hudson claims that he was mistreated by the VA for whatever disability he’s being treated, but he also admits under scrutiny that it’s not a service-connected disability. So, he’s not a “disabled Vietnam veteran” the way that most of us would understand the phrase. He’s one of the 9 million Americans who served during the Vietnam War – a Vietnam Era veteran who is also disabled. But I guess that’s too much to put on one of those fugly caps.<\/p>\n This is the Reader’s Digest condensed version of Mr Hudson – there’s much more at the Military Phonies<\/a> website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"Thomas](\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Thomas-Wayne-Huson-FOIA-257x333.jpg\")
