A few weeks ago we wrote about Kevin Haggerty<\/a>, the fellow running for State Senator in Pennsylvania. As part of his plea to the people of his district, he leaned heavily on his service as a Marine. It seemed to work for him, because he won on election night<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The local media claimed that he had spent most of his time in the Marines as a deserter. As we didn’t have a FOIA at the time, we had to depend on the media’s work. Well, we got a FOIA on him now – it doesn’t change anything we wrote but. It does prove that most of his time in the Marines, Haggerty was a deserter;<\/p>\n

He was AWOL from May 11th to June 10th 1997 he was dropped from the roles and declared a deserter on June 11th until he was returned to the Marine Corps on July 20th and sent to confinement as a result. In September he was discharged from active duty and a year later discharged from the Reserves. So he was on active duty for nine months and spent more than four of those months as a deserter or a prisoner. I don’t know how he got an honorable discharge, but he claims that he did.<\/p>\n

Maybe the voters can deal with him in two years since they didn’t get the opportunity to deal justice this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
