Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) became a trending topic this weekend for a time-bending tweet that he quickly deleted and updated honoring an Idaho native who served “in the Vietnam War” — but “was killed in action aboard the USS Oklahoma in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.”
“Today, Navy Fireman 2nd Class Carl Bradley returned to rest in Shelley. He left Idaho to serve in the Vietnam War. He was killed in action aboard the USS Oklahoma in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, & his remains found earlier this year. May we remember his eternal sacrifice,” Crapo wrote in his initial tweet.
