That'll blow over. Everyone (including his attackers) knows that Rush was talking about genuinely phony soldiers like these:

It was the point that the old Viet Nam protestor was making that caught me by surprise. He really impressed me.
Aren't you the guy who hit me in the eye?

Actually, Rush was referencing ONE phony (who, BTW, never
even set foot in Iraq and was discharged after 45 days
after enlisting) to the caller, but got misconstrued by the left
for saying "soldierS"

but hey, we know there's more than ONE out there. C'mon.....
Don't start none...won't be none.

*Roy J. Scott, 71, of Port Angeles, Washington pleaded guilty August 31, 2007, to Use of an Altered Military Discharge Certificate to obtain VA Compensation and Medical Benefits, and Unlawful Wearing of United States Military Medals and Decorations. Scott claimed he had served in the Marine Corps in Korea, that he was wounded in combat in Korea, and that he had been awarded the Korea Defense Medal, Korea Star Medal, and a Purple Heart (due to alleged gun shot wounds sustained during combat in Korea). Scott claimed to be honorably discharged, when in fact, he never earned those medals, never served in Korea or any foreign country and was Court-Martialed out of the Marine Corps. Loss Amount: $21,960.
I know the guys that turned this man in to be investigated, thus exposing him for what he was.

I hugged one of them and told him how proud I was and thankful he had turned the man in and he was really surprised that anyone had taken notice.

Behavior like that, making sure that someone doesn't get away with lying about his service this way, deserves kudos!
Onward and Upward!
