[Fox Baltimore via AOSHQ] In a commencement speech at Valley Forge Military Academy on May 9, Gov. Wes Moore told graduates the academy had taught them "something that I wish more people in this society understood — that we will not lie, cheat, nor steal, nor tolerate those that do."
For two decades, Moore’s own accounts of his Army service and Afghanistan deployment have tested whether he lives by that standard.
In an April 2014 interview with the USO’s magazine"On Patrol," Moore was asked about his duties in Afghanistan. "I was an infantry officer, military police officer and then became special ops when I joined the 82nd Airborne Division," Moore said.
Based on Army records, his answer was not true.
Those records show Moore was not an infantry officer, was not qualified in any special operations field and did not deploy to Afghanistan to perform either role. |
