OP
In a couple of speeches, he said he served in Vietnam, rather than saying he served during Vietnam

Blumenthal is a Vietnam era veteran. He once implied he saw actual combat. It's not as if he held himself out as a Medal of Honor winner.

But he never told any stories about battles and conquests.

whether real or bots, are out in force too!
I think there were a few real ones. You can always spot them by their grammatical errors.

Joy Reid? @JoyAnnReid
Speaking of stories, Donald Trump sought five deferments to get out of Vietnam service. He also called avoiding STDs his "personal Vietnam."
