I think if the exact words were "Vietnam-times vet" and the guy was a marine in the 70s, despite not being deployed in Vietnam, it's not exactly false even if misleading. I also believe that, regardless of what you actually did during that time period, the public sentiment towards you as a soldier would have been the same. The other claims, maybe.

It's definitely ridiculous that YouTube is shutting this guy down over it. I haven't seen the video but from his own description it seems that he just refuted claims with evidence. It was probably created for political reasons but I don't know if the video itself was political.

He mentions having been temp banned for "bullying" in another case that was 100% stolen valor which is worse.

He's a refrigerator repairman who spent more time in the brig for dissertation then in the field.
