Several political figures, including Wendy Rogers and Steve Slaton, are embroiled in controversy over alleged stolen valor claims, particularly related to Vietnam combat service. Rogers is accused of defending Slaton, who falsely claimed Vietnam combat experience, leading to criticism and accusations of stolen valor within the MAGA political sphere.

Oh you gotta be freaking kidding me.... 🙄🙄🙄 "[Wendy Rogers] then claims Steve [Slaton] was on “Confidential” missions for four months to Vietnam from Korea, which is another lie." https://t.co/J53opBiiUj
Stolen Valor seems to be a prerequisite for MAGA politicians. He was never in combat. He got the CIB due to an Army error, but he’s still trying to claim it. https://t.co/BpYHbLsHOd

I see that on either side of Atlantic, the "vet bro" demo running for legislative office has been caught out exaggerating their valour, even if not quite stolen. There is a PhD for an aspiring shrink in why men do this.
While defending @SteveSlatonAZ who is lying about being a Vietnam veteran, @WendyRogersAZ blocks her own county GOP for calling her out. Stolen valor is a serious crime https://t.co/O3Hz9AW3Tz
Why is @WendyRogersAZ defending stolen valor @SteveSlatonAZ? Hmmmm. https://t.co/OW6dfWTZaF
