knapplc Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Quote Madison Cawthorn's claim about Naval Academy creates false impression The narrative created by Republican congressional-candidate Madison Cawthorn paints a picture of a bright, young man headed to the U.S. Naval Academy until he was severely injured in an auto crash. “Madison was homeschooled in Hendersonville and was nominated to the Naval Academy by Rep. Mark Meadows in 2014,” according to the 11th District candidate’s website. “However, Madison’s plans were derailed that year after he nearly died in a tragic automobile accident that left him partially paralyzed and in a wheelchair.” But in a 2017 sworn deposition obtained by AVL Watchdog, Cawthorn admitted his application to the academy had already been rejected before the crash. The campaign did not comment, despite repeated requests over several days. He had the US Naval Academy on his Congressional bio under Education long enough the people took screenshots of it, but I think he's since taken it down. 2 Link to comment

My older son lives in his district and can't believe he is their rep. First he had to put up with Mark Meadows and this guy is like double down Mark Meadows Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 It's not just Madison "stolen valor" Cawthorn, either. U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton has exaggerated his military record In his first run for Congress, Cotton leaned heavily on his military service, claiming to have been “a U.S. Army Ranger in Iraq and Afghanistan,” and, in a campaign ad, to have “volunteered to be an Army Ranger.” In reality, Cotton was never part of the 75th Ranger Regiment, the elite unit that plans and conducts joint special military operations as part of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command. Rather, Cotton attended the Ranger School, a two-month-long, small-unit tactical infantry course that literally anyone in the military is eligible attend. Soldiers who complete the course earn the right to wear the Ranger tab — a small arch that reads “Ranger” — but in the eyes of the military, that does not make them an actual Army Ranger. 1 Link to comment

That’s weird. So they can wear a patch that says ranger but they aren’t a ranger. sounds like the army is sending two messages. 1 Link to comment
