    While I don’t see you that way, nor do I call you or anyone names, there is a difference.
    “Men” is a word for great big group of individuals with a multitude of beliefs. It is impossible and unfair to categorize them like that. Whereas liberals (and conservatives) have general agreement on many ideas and issues. They are in fact groups which exist because of those beliefs.

    It is that attempt that vilify the whole population known as men that ticks off so many of us.

    I would think we could could be friends, too, as I already have some very liberal friends. It works if we respect each other despite the differences.

    Nathan Phillips Is Not A Vietnam War Veteran But Does He Have A Richard Blumenthal Problem?

    ...In 1971, Phillips was 16 years old. The earliest he could have enlisted, either as an emancipated minor or with parental consent, was 1972. And Phillips does claim to have enlisted at 17. Junior enlisted guys and junior officers weren’t sent as advisers to Vietnam in the last days of the war, after US ground involvement had essentially halted. A Marine infantry private was not going to go to Vietnam a year after the last Marines left Vietnam.This Ain’t Hell blog, which hunts out Stolen Valor claims, points out that we aren’t all that sure what Phillips has said about himself. There is no direct quote of Phillips calling himself a Vietnam vet, but, being less charitable than them, I’d point out that several of those articles were undoubtedly run by Phillips to check for accuracy and it doesn’t appear that Phillips ever raised an alarm about being misrepresented. To the contrary, he seems to have know exactly what he was doing in using a variation of Department of Veterans Affairs terminology to confuse the credulous:
