Dupe entry: Is Cpl. Cloy Richards Another Fake Anti-War Veteran?
In case you dont recognize the name, Cloy Richards is the son of Tina Richards, the anti-war activist who famously accosted Rep. David Obey outside his offices last week.Ms. Richards claims her son is a Corporal in the US Marines, who has been driven to the brink of suicide because of his military service in the war in Iraq. Several posters at S&L with access to military records claim to have searched for the name "Cloy Richards" and found no record of anyone currently or recently having served in the military under that name. Far be it for us to question the military service of anyone, especially in time of war. But both the Iraq Veterans Against The War and Veterans For Peace have a long and checkered record of producing Iraq veterans whose actual service does not meet their claims. (Cf. Jesse MacBeth, among several others.) So it is our unfortunate duty to wonder if Mr. Richards is indeed what he and his mother claim he is. Posted by: Anonymoose 2007-03-19 |
