I do not see any disagreement in these posts. Anyone who served honorably in the military is a veteran in good standing and Combat Veterans deserve special recognition. People who served, but dishonestely claim to be combat veterans, bring dishonor on themselves for lying about it. WTH, the man is a politician, a U.S. Congressman. He probably did plenty of other things to discredit himself that are much worse. That is why their aggregate approval rating is an F-.
