You Won An Oscar? Me, Too! What Category?

The VA Secretary, reminding us that there IS a VA Secretary (he's named Robert McDonald), has apologized for lying about being in the Special Forces. Yes, we're in a stretch when people's claims about their own past will be under scrutiny, so Brian Williams and Bill O'Reilly don't feel alone. In this case, he apparently was talking to a vet and did one of those off-hand "You were in Special Forces? Hey, so was I! Which unit?" things. Totally understandable, except... wait, no, it's NOT understandable. Why would it occur to anyone to say "hey, me too!" about something like that when it's not true? You tell me you were in Special Forces, it wouldn't occur to me to say I was, too, since I was definitely not. There's no rational explanation for doing that unless you're a Baron von Munchausen type. (Fox News)
