Many things do not quite add up. For instance...

>A. It would be the same as my social security number - 146524672.
When did the Air Force, Army, or any branch of the service start using
the Social Security Number as the Military Service Number? It sure
wasn't used when I was in the Air Force.

Wasn't through...with what? Was he or wasn't he?

Member of what? Very strange.

No military service number because...he was never in servoce or what?

So was he lying on the application? If so, why? Unless that
discharge was less than claimed.
>Q. And you never received a shrapnel wound to your face, did you?

>A. No, m'am. Tree branch, but not shrapnel.
One of his fabricated stories caught up with him and he got called on
it. How friggen funny....No, mam. Tree branch wahwahwah
>Q. Mr. Campbell, have you ever been wounded in any way?
>
>A. I've been hurt several times in various ways.
Yeah, stubbed his toe once and hit his thumb with a hammer but
WOUNDED..what total bullshit. No, he has never been wounded or even
close to anything that might wound him.
>Q. Have you ever received a gunshot wound?
>
>A. Not that I know of."
Not that I know of? If you had ever received a gunshot wound you
would damn well know if you had. What the hell kind of answer it
that?
When so many things do not add up, there is usually a very good reason.
