He's a "paper flash" guy - completed the "extension" (correspondence course) programs used by a lot of HQs/SVC Co/SIG Co/USAR/NG types back then while assigned as a chaplain to SFTG.

Like I said he's a paper tiger. Never served on an A-Team and went to the SF Officer course only to serve as a Chaplain in a Special Forces unit.

I'm sure he served in Vietnam as a Chaplain also. There's no CIB in his records.

Don't for get that he is a PSYOPS officer also (Paper Psyops) ...... Guess that was not sexy enough so he had to use his paper Q Course to portray he was a steely eyed killer...

Some of the excerps from his interview there was more he said in the video but did not get into the article:
Quote:
---- Colonel Gore has never met the former vice president, whom he calls a distant relative, but says the two served in Vietnam at the same time. "He's a good man. Honest. And he should have been president," he said.

---- He says he tossed his green beret into the ring when "no one else would step up."

---- He says his training as a Green Beret and Army parachutist has helped him on the campaign trail.
"You overcome any fears," he said. "I'm a Green Beret. Nothing is impossible."

Those quotes make it sound as if he paid a whole lot more attention to his PsyOps courses than his SF course.
