To try to use his Military service to give some respectability and credibility to his business ventures was not bright.
I shall keep that quote for the next time I hear something about CFS or a reference to prior military service from anyone when said reference is made to validate some claim to contributory experience. Or...would that be seen as unfair?

It is not the mere claim that has urked some but the extent of the claim as I see it. Point out the false statements if you can document your allegation. Working off "my memory", "it used to be..." and that kind of comment is fraught with peril I would think as one might just be caught off base if one somehow misstates the situation for what ever reason.

There are some very tall horses in the paddock recently. As in most anonymous mob scenes....some things are said that in private and personal venues would not be said.

Simply put....."Cool your Jets, Ace(s)!"
