Robert Bentley (R), running for Alabama governor, is taking heat for a campaign ad that talks about serving his country "with honesty and integrity" while showing a military aircraft and the words "Hospital Commander Vietnam War."

However, the AP reports that while Bentley joined the Air Force in 1969 his service was as the commander of the hospital at Pope Air Force Base in North Carolina.

I don't get it. Why is there any controversy? He WAS a hospital commander during the VN war. It ain't like he is claiming he was ever in combat.

Don't you think that these guys would be better off just leaving the "VietNam" part of it off, tho?

I know vets who did not serve in the RVN say they served "VietNam Era" but anyone who says "I served during the VietNam War" or "Hospital Commander VietNam War" to me, is implying they served RVN.

JMHO.

He served. That makes him a hero to 90% of us probably. Why embellish?

I've got a fire watch medal. I actually almost forget...wait, I remember now...the NDSM - National Defense Service Medal. For being in uniform during the Viet Nam conflict. I didn't earn it; everyone was given/awarded one.

Then you did earn it.

And thank you for doing so...
