Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Retreats On Oh Endorsement

DAVID'S OH political misery continue to accumulate as the local Fraternal Order of Police lodge voted yesterday to approve its application to dissolve council after learning that he fudged his military resume.

Oh is apologizing for days to Army Special Forces members, while complaining about the Daily News, which first reported the details Friday, and accused unnamed political opponents of plotting against him.

Oh had been considered a Republican front-runner this year for a Council-large seat.

FOP President John McNesby said Oh, a nice guy, but that the FOP membership frown at the beautification of a military record. "I think we are the first of many," said McNesby, predicted that Oh would lose the remaining entries.

Oh faced with a difficult conversation with the bright inquisitive Special Forces members on the website of the "Special Operations Community Network" Monday and yesterday, offering his second apology in as many days.

"First of all, I'm really sorry for my transgressions," Oh posted on the website, while admitting that he misled people. "There's probably more than I'm aware of before, but I did not appreciate the lines, I was crossing.

Oh, do not respond to requests for comment yesterday offered to campaign materials and destroying more clear about his military service in the future.

The Daily News found several examples in the current campaign oh and two attempts for a Council seat in 2003 and 2007, which he called himself a Green Beret or Special Forces officer.

An invitation for a fundraiser Oh circulated two weeks ago at the Union League said: "David served in Operation Desert Storm as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Special Forces."

Oh was assigned to the 20th Special Forces Group of the Maryland Army National Guard in 1991 when it was called to active service. He failed to complete Special Forces training at that time and was not deployed in Iraq.

Oh promised to pay for two full page advertisements in the Daily News with an apology to Special Forces members, veterans and voters to "my lack of attention to detail in the knowledge was in my possession, and the negligence was in my favor."

And he promised to campaign contributions and notes back from disgruntled supporters.

"I would not want to win this election with a cloud that I vote by fraud or money gained or vague," Oh said.
