It is appalling how glibly and easily the VA chief lied about his service.

He apologized. What's the problem?

The White House actually said that his work was more important than this. This is not just a guy lying in a bar to impress some other guy - it's a VA chief and West Point grad lying about his service record for no earthly reason.

(I was being sarcastic, of course)

But as you say, the narrative (West Point grad - as if that gives him any credibility) is important. So he gets a pass.

Do you think that Brian Williams was available for comment?

I guess I have to think that a guy tasked with taking care of veterans should have the utmost respect for a guy's service - including his own. I think he was trying to relate to the guy, but at that ethical cost? He could have told him he wanted to be SF, but did not make it. That would have been a sign of respect. What he did totally disrespected the guy.

What did he lie about?


Oh, yeah. Nothing. You just can't trust a guy who won't lie.

He called it a 'misstatement', not a lie. Big difference there, ya know.

The guy in that job is supposed to be better than this.

Forgive him and fire him.
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Agreed. We need to demand those who ask us for our trust meet a higher standard.

So, we've figured out what it takes to make a Republican former soldier and CEO of a multinational company tell lies. And to think he had such a promising upbringing.

You and I and my deceased half Chinese mother-in-law say "lie".

But he says "misstatement". :rolleyes2:
