if i remember correctly he claimed to have seen the aftermath of some pretty messy things, he was some type of supply clerk so it's certainly possible he came across some crispy critters. there was also the whole story of him getting too drunk and his fellow soldiers giving him a circumcision, which if true is pretty fucked up! :lol:

I'm sorry dwlains claim... Your second theory is the one I've always heard and it seemed featherstone was able to get out of a lot of trouble through out his life based on being a mental case. Most people would be happy about not being sent to the front line ... Not this guy he wanted to kill kill kill!!!!!!

yeah, a pretty convenient excuse if you ask me. why would something totally unrelated to his criminal career be withheld? it just doesn't make any logical sense to me. like so many other inflated mobster claims, i think a story like this was really best left for the pre-internet era where fact checking was much more difficult. at the end of the day, the only source for domnick being in vietnam is dominick himself! ;)
If I'm Montiglio there's no way I'm confusing Roy DeMeo with Chuckie English's death photo unless I'm a fucking stooge.
ive had some fact based battles with him he's something else and makes a lot of outrageous claims. As for your first claim about violent people being sent to Vietnam that's how my dad got there after baseball batting a guy in Cleveland he was given the choice go to Vietnam or go to prison. After he got back he was required to pay a lot of medical bills and became a merchant marine out of Cleveland. But that was a common practice back in the 60s was to send people facing criminal charges over seas to stomp out communism.

In Montiglio's case I don't know, but it's not always completely unrelated; in the Westies documentary for example (if it's true to the facts) they say Mickey Featherstone went to Vietnam not for some ideological or poltical cause, but just because he liked to kill, so the war fueled up his violent temper considerably.

All he has to do is provide a DD-212 which is very easy and free to do for him.

i've looked around a bit before and have never came across anything that shows dom was ever in the military or that he served in vietnam, much less his inflated story about being a green beret and the so-called "heavy weapons" man in the squad. it's far from impossible that he was there, but anyone who has even a faint grasp of special operations knows that the selection in incredibly rigorous and time consuming, not something you just casually decide to join as he implied. liars lose all credibility, even more so in the subject matter they lie about.

Pat Nee from the Mullens gang in South Boston was in Vietnam.

Steven 'the Rifleman' Flemmi served two tours in Korea and was awarded a Silver Star.
