Default Thanks!

Invariably, checking one's bona fides with timelines, reality, and common sense is a foolproof way of assigning weight to reading matter, speeches, sermons, or just plain ol' opinions. Thanks Sid, for bouncing his bio against the aforementioned criteria.

Used the same methodology for exposing a wannabee at the Veterans Center in Austin several months ago. He had claimed, in addition to other things, having completed two tours, and was a POW for six years. Started adding up the time, mirrored against our history in SEA and came to the conclusion that (1) he had enlisted at age 11, (2) was viewed as totally indispensible by the entire US Army, in his opinion, (3) suffered from a major case of equinitus excrementus.
