| Description | The short version of David Oh's political resume: The former city prosecutor enlisted in the U.S. Army National Guard, joined an elite Special Forces unit and then came home to run a law practice.
But two high-ranking military officers familiar with Oh's National Guard record say his claim to have been a Green Beret is bunk.
Oh, a front-runner for a Republican at-large City Council seat in the Nov. 8 general election, did not make it through the training to become a Green Beret in 1991.
The 20th Special Forces Group, part of the Maryland Army National Guard, rejects Oh's claim to the Daily News that his unit "designated" him to be a Green Beret because he was appointed to the role of detachment technician when the unit was briefly called to active duty in 1991. |
