Phony soldiers


Not “dog face pony soldier” as an accusation Joe Biden threw at a woman who had the audacity to ask the once and future president … uh, once vice president and soon to join Hillary as a not-president …

Phony soldiers. Men and women who lie about their military service, some who have had none, others who inflate their actual service above and beyond believable limits.

Take this man Craig “Doc” Glynn, who claimed not only to have been a medic in Vietnam, but also in Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan. Such service is possible, spanning 1972-2003 or 2005, but not likely.

But the real unbelievable part of Glynn’s claim is this: a Distinguished Service Cross, two Silver Stars, 10 Bronze Stars (that’s right, 10) and nine Purple Hearts (yes, nine).

Apparently Glynn was a medic in Vietnam, but the rest – made up.

You would think that people who have this man at ceremonies would know something smells like an unclean latrine when Glynn mentions his four wars and 10 Bronze Stars over a period of 31 or more years.

Nine Purple Hearts? Really, people.
