Nate;
My Uncle, and his unit, also liberated a camp. However right now I could not tell you which one.
I do know that his unit was in the second wave at Omaha. That just sticks in my mind. Along with him, as a FAO, calling in Artillery onto his own position-what is now called danger close. Twice.
If you can recall from 8th grade the history of Auschwitz, perhaps you can recall which camp in Germany was the first to be liberated by US forces? And by which units?

We all learn different things and retain them in different ways.
And we all can mis-speak at any given time.
And more importantly, every campaign office has books and books and books covering everything about the other candidates.
I would find it very hard to believe that the GOP did not know about Obama's Uncle war record.
And if they did not, would have taken less than 2 minutes to find out.
And from what I saw in my morning paper and on the morning news shows, this matter is no longer in news cycle.
