: I know personnaly that many people that
: really are Nam Vets are discredited by other
: vets are not phonies. Not only did the
: clerks in the military screw up our records,
: but the connected Nam vets use their
: connections at the VA to remove records of
: assignments and medical files from 201 and
: VA records to keep you from getting what you
: are owed in service connected healthcare and
: other benifits. That is right; our own
: so-called brother and sisters in arms are
: doing this to hoard all the bennefits for
: themselfs and veterans that do not diserve
: them as much as others do, aand because you
: discovered they were embelishing there
: medals and combat experience. This is often
: done by those that retired from the
: military. I know a colonel that has a CIB
: andf did not earn it for he was never in
: ground action while in Vietnam or had a
: combat MOS. When I was in Nam the P-ons did
: the shooting and getting shot at and get no
: medals, while many liffers and officers sat
: in the protected rear and when the firefight
: was over pinned medals on each other. BUT
: not all lifers and opficers were cowards.
: Many earned evgery medal they got and I
: respect them. I just really have a problem
: with the ones that steal the valor from us
: that did fight. These well connected ones
: will never be discovered for they have
: covered their tracks and have friends in
: government. BUT we all know of many that I
: speak of from Nam and other wars or combat
: actions. Shine a light on them too. Checking
: their 201 files will show the medals and
: rank were legal. It is legal to lie to get
: ahead, but they are phonies all the same!

: I remember Viperash from the old days on
: AOL.
: He is a Vietnam Vet. When he spoke the
: things he said rang true. At the time I
: didn't know he had his own web page. There
: were a group of regulars in the
: "room". I used to spend hours
: watching the chit chat flow by.
: I can't recall most of the names but if I
: was to see the names again I would
: remember.People like Beansimple,
: Hondo,Linda,Crashed1fx, and on and on.Many
: times someone would make a statement and I
: would be amazed. Amazed at the stereotypical
: flavor of it.I would not say anything but I
: had made my decision of what they were.They
: did not ring true.One of the screenames that
: used to make odd statements came to mind the
: other day. Out of curiousity I typed his
: screename and the word Vietnam into
: "Google". About four lines down
: was his name and something related to
: Vietnam. Clicking the link I see a copy of
: military information and records. It seems
: pownetwork/phonies had built a case against
: him.Suddenly my suspicians of his lies were
: confirmed. At least it seemed that
: way.Records are not always as accurate as
: some think. They(the permanent ones) are
: only as accurate as the last clerk that
: transcribed your 201 file to a 214. But in
: any case the words of a vet ring true to
: another vet. At one time in my life I could
: even spot them a block away. Now it's more
: difficult. The words they say though and the
: way they say them give them away.
