If Nathan Phillips did described his service this way : "..has referred to himself as a “Vietnam-times” veteran.", it is word-wise correct, but since reporters these days tend not to check accuracy or have assignment editors look over their field reporting before news is released, then slip ups occur. I believe he didn't outright lie, but either the reporters got their facts wrong to begin with (didn't follow through on accuracy of his service) and also Lakota People’s Law Project group made a mistake on their part.

As for details of service, that is another matter, and same for the 'supposed' hippie encounter which may be an exaggeration. The parts that can be verified are: "he didn't outright lie and claimed of serving in Vietnam" and his service record can be verified which these days the media don't 'verify everything first' before rushing out the news story.

A group representing Nathan Phillips wrongly said he served in Vietnam

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211718488

Daniel Paul Nelson, a leader in the Lakota People’s Law Project, said in an interview that his group made the error and that Phillips never told the group he served in Vietnam. The group, Nelson said, “trusted what we had seen” in previous stories about Phillips, some of which also referred to him erroneously as a Vietnam veteran.

“We were trying to do the advocacy work that we do,” Nelson said.

In reality, Phillips served from June 1972 to May 1976 in the Marine Corps Reserve, a service spokeswoman, Yvonne Carlock, said Wednesday. He did not deploy, and he left the service as a private after disciplinary issues. From October 1972 to February 1973, he was classified as an antitank missileman, a kind of infantryman, Carlock said. He then became a refrigerator technician for the majority of his service.

I'll say right wing media is doing another smear campaign just like what they did with John Kerry back in 2004 elections. The part that is pathetic some right winger personality hosts have claimed to be in war action which was never the case. One example was Bill O Reilly claimed to have been in war and he was exposed by Al Franken.

The 'Black Hebrew Israelites' (I am guessing more known on east coast, never heard of them before) were spouting their crazy, insane racist stuff and most folks from what I have read ignore them and walk by since the Black Israelites usually yell nonsense stuff since they are allowed to have free speech just like other crazy racists groups. Even the Native Americans there practicing their first Amendment rights knew just to basically ignore them once they heard all the nonsense these knuckleheads were spouting off.

Actually almost all of them that were wearing the stupid hats and clothing now that almost everyone these days knows the fraud (cadet Bone spurs) in the WH is a fake himself and is very likely a lackey to Putin.

It was a gutsy and questionable move imo, but the Native American group needed a few football size linemen in front of them to clear the path. But if anything such as no ongoing shutdown, then more security and park rangers would be there preventing the events from getting out of control. And the chaperones of that particular school did not do their jobs as they were assigned to (if possible) keep the kids away at a distance until their transportation arrived.

I am not familiar with arrangement of security there at the mall area, but reading other accounts by those more familiar with DC area had commented that if no shutdown (furlough), then there would be enough security personnel there that would have stepped in and prevent ed the incidents from getting out of hand.

The chaperones of that particular boys school did not do their jobs of moving the boys along and away from the area like what is usually done with other high schools. The Cincinnati region archdiocese needs to do a thorough review with that high school and make changes with the school's current staff.
