In your interview with Governor Rick Perry, you state that he was born in 1980 [Texas Monthly Talks, May 2007]. You also state that he "retired" from the Air Force after serving only five years. Neither is remotely possible.
The reply:
EDITORS' NOTE: You are correct, on both counts. Perry was in fact born in 1950, and in 1977 he was honorably discharged from the Air Force, after five years of service. We regret the errors. Link
