Is the Army Human Resources Command discriminating against veterans of the Vietnam War?
"God and the soldier, we adore,
In time of danger, not before.
The danger passed, and all things righted,
God is forgotten, and the soldier slighted."
- Rudyard Kipling, 1899
"Stolen valor typically refers to individuals who falsely claim military honors they have not earned; conversely, when a deserving individual is denied earned recognition, I believe that is also a form of stolen valor." - Clifford A. Gehrt (2025)
