VA Secretary Admits He Was Not In Special Forces

Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald apologized for misstating that he had served in the military’s special forces, CBS News reports.

Said McDonald: “While I was in Los Angeles, engaging a homeless individual to determine his veteran status, I asked the man where he had served in the military. He responded that he had served in special forces. I incorrectly stated that I had been in special forces. That was inaccurate and I apologize to anyone that was offended by my misstatement.”
