Hopefully his lying matters.

Doesn’t seem to. No one cares about his stolen valor either.

Sure (i had the fun experience of "working" with D.B, too)
Sat at many presentations where he talked about being in the first group, I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more traction.

His dog was nice, though.

>As we said, Bolduc had a distinguished military career. He was one of the first Special Forces officers in Afghanistan. That credential may indeed qualify him as a “horse soldier” even if he was not part of ODA 595, the 12-man team that rode horses to victory.

>But where the video goes wrong is that it so closely associates Bolduc with the ODA 595 legend that viewers may assume his exploits were depicted in a Hollywood movie. The photo trickery in the ad is no accident. Clearly it was effective enough that some reporters have taken the bait — and the Bolduc campaign does not appear to have corrected the record. However, we found no evidence of Bolduc himself embellishing the story when specifically asked about it.
Emphasis added by me. Sounds like valor not stolen but rightly earned.

I mean, I feel like that's a claim that could stand to be corrected then. I have also heard him talk about being in the first group, I think there is an argument to be made that being purposefully vague about your service is not exactly being forthright.
