Our weekly round-up of letters published in the Dothan Eagle.
As most Alabamians who follow legitimate news are aware, Sen. Tommy Tuberville is holding up every military promotion, currently at 265 promotions, in his zeal to force his ideology to the military. At the same time, Tuberville has bragged on his father's service in World War II, which contains falsehoods, half-truths, and only a bit of accuracy.
He claims his father was a tank commander on D-Day. This has been mostly refuted as he was only a private at the time but he could have been a tank driver as that was his classification as a TEC 5 which were armorer, cook, tank driver, light truck driver, or tank mechanic. A tank commander is typically a sergeant although it is possible he commanded a tank after reaching Corporal, which he did in Feb 1945, some 8 months after D-Day.
He claims his father received a Purple Heart. On this he is correct. His father was injured when enemy bazooka fire hit his tank, killing one person and wounding three.
