Look, I don't know what actually happened in this story, but I think people should think long and hard before impugning our vets who served.

Nathan Phillips is 64. He claims to have seen combat with USMC Recon in Vietnam.

Actually the last of the marines were evacuated in April 1971. So he would have been 16.
