Came across this Tweet by SMQ from 2020
Tweet directly to POTUS IN Summer 2020
"Jeff is an honorably discharged Vietnam Vet. He is 77 & while eligible for parole since 1990, has deferred b/c he will never dishonor his family by admitting to something he did not do....he is sick & I fear for his life due to COVID in the prison petri dish,” she wrote.
Trump never replied.
Of course it is ridiculous. She tried to claim he was ill, in danger from covid, and innocent.
But the Vietnam Veteran claim is interesting. He never set foot in Vietnam of course.
But he did serve "stateside" for a short time (about 1 year) during that war.
This reminds me of the Native American activist Nathan Phillips, who confronted a group of students at the Lincoln Memorial in 2019.
He also claimed to be a Vietnam Vet, or "Vietnam times Vet", as he used both terms at different times.
He claimed that serving stateside during the war gave him the right to refer to himself as a Vietnam Veteran.
But I disagree. He is a veteran, and served honorably, which is great. But if you weren't in Vietnam, you should never claim to be a Vietnam Veteran.
If you were in the Air Force, and made regular flights dropping of service members or supplies in Vietnam, you can use that term.
The same applies to sailors on US Navy ships who deployed to Vietnam.
But not people at a stateside base loading planes or ship for their departure.
If anyone has a different opinion, let me know what you think.

I totally agree with you Grandfather. I totally disagree with SMQ. I think that Inmate did dishonor his wife
and children by KILLING THEM.

That is true about being a veteran of a war if you serve during that time period. My Dad was an example of that. He was considered to be a Korean War veteran but he was never in Korea. The Korean War was from 1950 - 1953. He served in 1951 - 1952. The military plaque on his gravesite has Korea on it. The VA was in charge of this plaque with the information from his military record.

Thank you Sheltie for that information.
I stand corrected.
,duty%20location%3B%20and%20their%20families.
"Vietnam veteran" vs "Vietnam-era veteran"
The Vietnam War Commemoration uses the term "Vietnam veteran" to describe those who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces at any time during the period of November 1, 1955 to May 15, 1975, regardless of duty location.
We do NOT use the phrase "Vietnam-era veteran."

Tim2020 - SMQ was a derogatory term people on this board used to describe inmate's current wife.
It is an abbreviation of Strip Mall Queen. I think it was due to her former dance studio location.
It may seem harsh, but if you look at her statements and demeanor over the years, you will understand.

SMQ has been convicted of crimes not related to the murders. DWIs and shoplifting to name a few.
The point is: If you are going to put yourself out in the public as a spokesperson to help your "wrongfully
convicted" spouse obtain freedom, shouldn't you at least try to keep your criminal record clean??????
I guess not, in your world Red.
It is so very easy these days to look up criminal records. For instance, Scott D. was convicted in
May of 1990 of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. Would you happen to know who this person is, Red?????

Are you saying that you are Scott D? If so, were you charged but not convicted of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE?
