Please consider verifying some of the information here. Mr Phillips was born in 1954. That means he was 18 in 1972 when the US left Vietnam. That means that to have served in Vietnam he joined the military at age 16 or 17 - very young 17 in order to complete basic and infantry training. It was not US policy to send 18 year olds there except under special circumstances. While we were pulling out would not seem to be "special circumstance" As such, I have serious questions as to him actually being a Vietnam veteran. Maybe a FOIA request by one of the editors for his military records. I speak this as a person who dropped out of high school at 17 and enlisted in March 1965. Going to Vietnam in late 1966 as one of the youngest people in my unit.
