Linda McMahon, GOP candidate for Senate in Connecticut, is hitting Democrat rival Richard Blumenthal for repeatedly insinuating he served in Vietnam, often through fairly blatantly untrue phrasing like, “When I returned from Vietnam.”

The group is Veterans for McMahon, and the tough mailer can be found here.

I am sure he, or his surrogates, will insist this is “Swift-boating.” They will invoke the previous example of a Vietnam Vets criticizing another Vietnam Vet, in order to defend a veteran who told the public he served in Vietnam when he did not.
