\n No assignments overseas. No medals to support overseas assignments\/deployments.
\n Nothing on his Combat History page, so the claim that he fought in two wars is not supported.
\n He was on active duty for six months (19 JUN 1989 \u2013 15 DEC 1989). There were no conflicts that the US was involved with during this period. Operation Just Cause was on 20 DEC 1989, but this was five days after Bresnahan was released from active duty.
\n Bresnahan was in the US Marine Corps Reserve. Typically, they only go on active duty to attend boot camp, advanced infantry training (School of Infantry or SOI), and perhaps some OJT (On the Job Training). Then, they are released from active duty and assigned to a Reserve Center to participate in weekend drills once a month and a two-week active duty for training each year. This appears to be what Bresnahan did with his six months of active duty. Reserve personnel are also subject to recall to active duty, but Bresnahan\u2019s records do not show him being recalled to active duty other than the initial six months for basic and MOS training.
\n Trained as COMM (Communication) vs. Recon. Nothing wrong with being a COMM Marine, which is an admirable profession \u2013 he just wasn\u2019t in Recon.
\n No \u201cSpecial Ops\u201d
\n Even counting drilling Reserve time, Bresnahan spent a little less than four (4) years in the US Marine Corps Reserve. He entered in 1989, but his 1988 claim could have included the time spent in a Delayed Entry Program. He got out in 1993 and this does not support his claim of seven (7) years. He was a drilling reservist during Operation Desert Storm but it does not appear that he or his unit were activated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Wayne-Patrick-Bresnahan-1-300x300.jpg\")
