This concept could be expanded to include the bad evidence that should be expunged from open cases.<br /><br />Maybe the US market wouldn't tolerate such a thing.

I've read comments elsewhere questioning whether he had served at all; I can vouch for the fact that he did. As far as his service with the Special Forces, I just don't know. <br />I only learned of all the controversy surrounding Phil recently; obviously, he hadn't mentioned it to me. I was very sorry to learn this; Phil is the only friend from my service days with whom I've stayed in contact. <br />On a personal level, he has been nothing but a friend; on more than one occasion, he has helped me out when I've been in dire circumstances. I realise this has nothing to do with Phil's credentials scandal; I only wanted to point out that, to me, he has been a good person.<br />Wallace RoweAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08240518140451305631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-52724774795386351222013-06-21T08:51:41.364-07:002013-06-21T08:51:41.364-07:00Wallace -

The Special Forces has its own medics, trained in many of the various techniques of serving in that particular role. I can conceive of no situation in which an Air Force medic would be on assignment to the Army Special Forces and Phil himself said that it wouldn't be reflected in his records. So, the issue was not whether he was a medic, but that he was a medic with the Army Special Forces and that he has no evidence to support the claim.KRandlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333125414889883920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-776440378987045262013-06-21T02:01:57.501-07:002013-06-21T02:01:57.501-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08240518140451305631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-44127807768599738622013-06-21T01:59:22.349-07:002013-06-21T01:59:22.349-07:00My comments are in reference to a blog from two ye...My comments are in reference to a blog from two years ago, but they tie into the question of verifying military service. I don't know if this is a dead issue now, but it concerns Phil Imbrogno. I can't speak to his alleged assignments with the Army, but I know for fact that he was an Air Force corpsman and that he served in Vietnam. I have known Phil for over forty years; I met him while we were both stationed at Wilford Hall Medical Center at Lackland AFB, shortly after his return from Vietnam.<br />I won't comment on any of the controversy regarding Phil, for I am not well versed on that subject. I just wanted to set the record straight as best I can regarding his military service.<br />Wallace Rowe Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08240518140451305631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-67355890230010832672013-06-20T16:03:57.396-07:002013-06-20T16:03:57.396-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Steve Sawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17716314515943305158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-5374667611421404752013-06-19T14:33:14.976-07:002013-06-19T14:33:14.976-07:00Dream Team or Rich Reynolds have New Evidence(s) ?...Dream Team or Rich Reynolds have New Evidence(s) ?

People claim to be at various universities & institutions and obtained doctorates, degrees and diplomas. <br /><br />These can usually be checked fairly quickly. But even then there can be problems such as similarities of name or dates. <br /><br />An example in the UK is the politician, and current member of House of Lords, who claimed to be educated at Wellington College (a well-known English Independent Public School). It turned out that his 'Wellington College' was an unknown school in some remote area which happened to have the same name.cdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005702597775594084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-27505565486750985672013-06-19T01:23:35.672-07:002013-06-19T01:23:35.672-07:00Very much agree with the points raised by Kevin.

The tricky question is how to come up with a 'cleaned' data set that all serious researchers, of all perspectives, can agree on in terms of a core body of data that defines the question we are attempting to resolve. It then becomes a debate around analysis and interpretation of that data set.<br />It is hard to see what group of set of institutions could do this, even in terms of a commonly agreed set of case data as we do not have a recognised academic framework as for most subjects.<br />Sounds almost like a commission of highly regarded figures from both sides of the debate...sorting out the Middle East may be easier!<br />Anthony Muganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09500170864254300321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-80157696158050010792013-06-18T15:17:55.859-07:002013-06-18T15:17:55.859-07:00Daniel -

Yes, records are wrong, but there are other documents that can be used to prove a claim...<br /><br />With Willingham, as the example, there are no records for his claimed military service other than a short period at the very end of World War II... there are no records to support his claim of being an Air Force officer, a fighter pilot, or having served for 20 or more years in the military. He attempted to pass off his CAP records as some sort of Air Force Reserve service but it was not.<br /><br />And you are talking of specific records in a specific location, not the records showing his military service.<br /><br />But, if we are going to do this correctly, we must vet that information from Lorenzen. Has anyone else checked to verify it?<br /><br />Finally, I was told that the records for the medics at the Roswell Army Air Field were missing. Another researcher was able to find them them as a way of validating various claims of people as having been with the medical unit... not to mention the information in the Unit History and the Yearbook for 1947.KRandlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333125414889883920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-34292608932654905082013-06-18T13:45:11.113-07:002013-06-18T13:45:11.113-07:00Re: Records going missing
