#1 Old Spook:

It's not the same guy...

See here.

from the site:

B.G. Burkett, a military researcher, was co-chairman of the Texas Vietnam Memorial with President George Bush as Honorary Chairman. Mr. Burkett has been the object of an award-winning segment on ABC's "20/20," as well as much acclaimed articles in Texas Monthly and Reader's Digest. He is a graduate of Vanderbilt University and the University of Tennessee. Burkett also served in Vietnam with the 199th Light Infantry Brigade, and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, Vietnamese Honor Medal, and Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Palm.

#3 The other Burkett, the leftist, was with the Texas AIR National Guard, and is at the center of the Rather forgeries.

Not the same guy.

#4 Oops
Here's another short bio of Burkett. Also I had put the "ABC's 20/20" and "Stolen Valor" comments in bold, but it got lost in the shuffle.
