LaRocco: Risch Military Claims ‘Smell’

U.S. Senate candidate Larry LaRocco says he doesn’t buy opponent Jim’s Risch claim that he wanted to serve his country and tried to enlist in the military in 1968. He said Risch’s story is an affront to veterans, who deserve complete transparency about his record. LaRocco referred to Risch’s comments to the Meridian Chamber of Commerce yesterday, and to his statements to a Post Register reporter earlier this month.

It’s a story concocted by someone who knows nothing about the military and did what he could to avoid service,” LaRocco said. “There are a lot of questions Risch needs to answer”/LaRocco for U.S. Senate news release.
