>>There are parts in the snopes article that are concerning to me. The fact that he is not being punished, well, that speaks for itself. Maybe it is just my ex-military time coloring my view, but it smacks of a coverup, even a small one.

It doesn't bother me that he was not punished, only that the snopes article quoted the DOD and other sources as stating he was basically lying and then claiming there was no punishment. First, I don't think he was lying; I think he was telling the truth based on his experience and his perspective (I more or less explained this in another message here). It smacks entirely of PR (just in case Obama wins and becomes Commander in Chief).
