GOP Senate candidate in IL, Mark Kirk, exaggerated Desert Storm service in constituent letter

From Markos:

It never ends with this guy. Here's Mark Kirk, writing a constituent:

It is time to break the boom and bust cycle of high gas prices and the need to deploy three separate armies to the Middle East (Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom). As you may know, I am a veteran of the Desert Storm and Enduring Freedom missions.

Wow, Kirk served in Desert Storm? He's proud enough of that letter that he posted it on his official House site. But, it's not technically true.

He completed three tours of duty aboard the USS Stennis, four tours of duty supporting counter-narcotics operations in Panama, and worked at the Office of Naval Intelligence during Operation Desert Storm in 1991.

The Office of Naval Intelligence is right outside of Washington DC.
