I served with Mike Gregorio in Vietnam 67-68 & he is so right, these people should be exposed for the fakes they are. Shame on the Supreme Court, it seems that lying is the new accepted practice now. We are creating a World of people that does not know the meaning of Character & Integrity & we will surely pay for that. It is up to us as individuals to stop this decay. Below are some interesting facts about this subject.
Vietnam Facts
As of August 1995 1,713,823 of those who served in Vietnam were still alive. During that same Census count the number of Americans falsely claiming to have served in-country was: 9,492,958. As of the current census taken during August, 2000, the surviving U.S. Vietnam Veteran population estimate is: 1,002,511. This is hard to believe, losing nearly 711,000 between ’95 and ’00. That’s 390 per day. During this Census count, the number of Americans falsly claiming to have served in-country is: 13,853,027. By this census, four out of five who claim to be Vietnam veterans are not.
