Did Harkin lie about his military service?
I ran across a reference to this just the other day and I can't remember where. The writer was doing the old "everybody does it" theme. It's the first I have heard about Harkin's military career.

1. no he was an air force aviator
there might have been a quibble about his serving in combat.

2. The NYT mentioned it Saturday in an editorial on people changing
Willipedia entries. It mystified me.

4. Thanks,
Is it correct to put this and the other posts together and conclude that Harkin said he flew missions over NV, but he didn't, though he was an aviator in the military. Has anyone verified that 1) he said this & 2) It's not true?
