Exclusive–Military Leaders: Michigan Dem Senate Nominee Gary Peters Exaggerated, Misrepresented Military Record on Campaign Trail

Exclusive–Military Leaders: Michigan Dem Senate Nominee Gary Peters Exaggerated, Misrepresented Military Record on Campaign Trail:

“Gary was pretty much a warm body in virtually all of the units I saw him assigned to,” Semerad said when reached by phone early Thursday. “He was never selected for anything.”

.....“Gary Peters has misled Michigan voters on his military service record,” John said in an emailed statement. 

“While we certainly appreciate everyone who enlists and serves on behalf of our country, on the campaign trail Congressman Peters, to put it mildly, has repeatedly made less than accurate statements about his time in the Naval Reserve and said things that aren't necessarily true about his qualifications in the Naval Reserves.”

"As a career active duty Army officer and former Congressman, it always concerns me when those running for political office misrepresent their military service record,” former Florida GOP West added. “The case of now Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut comes to mind.”

West compared Peters’ claims to those of John Kerry.
