Jesse Ventura lawsuit

[Shockwave]

He never claimed to have fought in Vietnam though.  His remark was to the effect that hunting is somewhat of a joke (which it is for the most part in the civilized world).

Never one to avoid controversy, he was criticized by hunters and conservationists for stating in an interview with the Minneapolis Star Tribune in April 2001, “Until you have hunted men, you haven’t hunted yet.” In January 2002, Ventura, who, previously, had never specifically claimed to have fought in Vietnam, disclosed for the first time that he did not see combat. However, Ventura, who was stationed at Subic Bay in the Philippines, was awarded the Vietnam Service Medal, which was given to military personnel who took part in the contributions to the war effort in Vietnam.

Look man, I don't want to argue with you. Go read through the site for a bunch more info on the guy. He's made his career exaggerating his military service.

Go read the site Adonis, theres plenty of links and references to where he talked about being in combat missions in Vietnam. I'm not going to dig them up for you.

Heres a quick few from the 1st link I saw -

Navy SEAL, union member, volunteer high school football coach, outdoorsman, husband of 23 years, father of two.
