Carl Paladino’s Campaign Revises War Record

In a year during which candidates from Richard Blumenthal in Connecticut to Mark Kirk in Illinois grossly exaggerated their military experiences, Carl Paladino’s embellishment hardly stands out. Even so, it shouldn’t be hard to get these things right. Paladino’s campaign manager, Michael Caputo, had previously said that, during six months of active duty in the Army at Fort Bliss, Texas, Paladino was “responsible for training 250 men.” But the Post got a hold of Paladino’s military records, and, as Caputo now admits, it was more like three months … and zero men.
