[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2878693, member: 18914"] Holy cow, I commented very far back in the beginning then went away, then came back and saw many pages of comments (I haven't been able to keep up) and obviously something happened between those points. I can gather that someone made a statement that either is or was believed to be an exaggeration of previous military experience? Generically, my view is that if someone is simply lying - e.g., says I served with or fought at or earned the xxx medal and didn't - then call him out, lying is lying. If someone makes a debatable claim- for instance he did participate in something but claims what seems to you a possibly greater role - then hold your tongue unless you have evidence AND it is important to clarify a point. Those kind of statements/claims are very hard to objectively judge so why get into fights over things that are by their nature subject to varying interpretation, especially if that isn't the point. Having said that I am not going to go back and read the last 9 pages of comments to see what I missed because I very much doubt that it matters to me in any way. BTW - I am a retired USAF officer, 24 years of service, out 5 years now and still serving as Dept. of the Army civilian. [/QUOTE]
