New report alleges Lindsey Graham's Air Force service was a sham

A new report alleges that the military record Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has been touting during his presidential campaign may be more fiction than fact. The Washington Post's in-depth examination of Graham's military record throughout his 33-year career in the Air Force reveals that "the Air Force afforded him special treatment as a lawmaker, granting him the privileges of rank with few expectations in return." Although Graham was not beholden to a fixed number of hours as an unpaid officer in the Air Reserve, The Washington Post reports that in eight of his 10 years in the Reserve, Graham did not achieve "satisfactory service," the minimum number of hours the Reserve requires for one to qualify for pension credit.
