Another Candidate Overstates His Military Record?


The Los Angeles Times notes the California Senate candidate Chuck DeVore (R) "has emphasized his service as a military officer and a young Reagan White House appointee at the Pentagon as experiences that helped make him the most qualified candidate. But at times he appears to have overstated those accomplishments, particularly his experience under fire and his role in the development of a U.S.-Israeli anti-ballistic-missile defense program."

In one debate DeVore spoke of being "shot at in Lebanon" but did not make clear "that the shooting occurred in the 1980s while DeVore was a college student studying Arabic and other subjects in the Middle East. Nor did he note that while the shooting was in his vicinity, there was no indication he was a target or was in actual danger."

1. Where's the poutrage? He should have said there were shots in his vicinity during a time

of conflict in Lebanon when he was a student studying Arabic and other subjects in the Middle East, forheavenssake. /sarcasm off.
