message: How could Ron White have fought in Vietnam if he was just turning 18 as the war ended?
Agreed - I was born in 1954 and was too young to go to Vietnam.  This cannot be true.
US offensive combat operations ended on 27 January 1973, about seven weeks after Ron White turned 16. There was a huge draw down in US military personnel between that date and the final end of US involvement in Vietnam on 30 April 1975.  IF White had enlisted in the service on or very close to his 17th birthday (December 1973), it is possible -- but not probable -- that he might have been sent overseas right after training to the remnants of MACV in Saigon (or nearby).  However, it's highly doubtful -- virtually impossible -- that he would have seen any combat. There was plenty of opportunity for thse in Vietnam to engage in heavy drug use, when ever they were there;  but I note that he claimed that he developed a drug problem from "fighting" in the war.   In sum, White's claim seems to be a bit of an exaggeration. Wijid 02:37, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The only written info I have seen about his military service (the Punchline article in the References) does not mention Vietnam. I have reworded that section of this article in accordance. From your comments here, I suspect he may have stated otherwise on camera or in his book - if so, please cite it. The magazine info is both citable and less unbelievable, so I feel it should remain until we can cite something else. Maralia 16:33, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed the "controversy" section from the article, as Wikipedia isn't here to debunk claims made by individuals -- see "No original research"; further, anything you put in an article needs to be cited with a reliable source. For what it's worth, White probably does qualify as a "Vietnam-era veteran" under federal law (this says anyone who served in the military 180 days between 1964 and 1975 qualifies, regardless of where one served), so there's no need to make guesses about where in the world Ron White was 32 years ago. If you find an article in a reliable source that investigates this issue, then that would probably be worth noting here; otherwise, please confine additions to this article to those that fall within Wikipedia policies. --SuperNova |T|C| 06:42, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Let's look at this.
"White is well-known for his famous punchline, "...You can't fix stupid."
How is that a 'famous punchline' of Ron White's? The man says it maybe once in an entire stand-up special. The only reason he said it then was because it was the name of said special. In fact, if you follow the cite tag after that, it just leads to a page of quotes from that special -- where a quick little search reveals that he says it one time and one time only.
It is not a Ron White punchline. At all. 64.253.217.55 (talk) 14:18, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
