Stolen Valor Act violations: 2 men pose as medal bedecked Marines in separate events

By those standards, my "NAVY RESERVE" Decal on my windshield that my recruiter gave me qualifies me as a NFO

Yeah. I've been in 15 and have 2. I don't quite agree with it.. but it was awarded after boot camp in '94.

. nvm

Whaaaaaaaaaaat???? You??? Clearly they don't know you like we do.

Clearly, you're being too hard on yourself.


Hopefully 90210 doesn't have a Stolen Bitchiness watchdog network.

But wait, there's more!

And in classic Joboy style, I'll ignore your post completely and comment on something completely unimportant and un-related: The High School is in 90212, not 90210...

I love catching the fakers!

Had a buddy make a traffic stop a few months ago. Subject has no identification but says hes a Marine out of California. My buddy calls me over because he knows nothing about the military so I start to question the guy. He says he's been a Marine for three years, but has no rank and his MOS is "rifleman". Now I know the Bullshit is starting to fly. He says he's been diagnosed with a mental disorder, but is going to ship out to Okinawa in two weeks..more BS. I tell him to get out of the car and start digging some more. At the end of it he was telling us a false name, had stolen items in his trunk, a wallet that belonged to another person that was stolen a few weeks prior, and merchandise bought with a credit card in that wallet. His real name also came back to have numerous warrants out of county.

He got royally screwed over and my buddy was intially just going to write him a ticket and let him go til he found out i was close by.

It's hard to get too mad at clowns like this guy. Go to your high school reunion as a bank teller or Marine Lt Colonel... Which has a better chance of getting you laid? The sad part is how much change he must have shelled out for blues with all the bling, to wind up only with public shaming and courtside time. Hope for his sake that he at least got blown by some ex-girlfriend at the reunion.

Nowadays the uniform means instant love and recognition. That's impossible for some losers to pass up...understandable even as it's reprehensible.

Now he's saying he didn't do it:

He just plead not guilty, pretty standard. To me, that means he will agree to a deal with the prosecution. The evidence is pretty strong against his weak, poser, douchbag, idiot ass.

So...photographs, sworn statement of a Naval Commander, dozens of witness's and his own blog...and he go's for the not guilty?...probably just a ploy to begin the plea bargain game...I really hope they don't let him 'cut a deal'...

He will say that he didn't have criminal intent, and that he was just a "collector" showing off his "collection" of uniform items.

That's what juries are for.

Wow. So an Air Force guy's boyfriend likes to put on Marine uniforms.

This might actually strengthen the "just playing dress up" defense. It kind of paints a picture, doesn't it. A whole 'nother kind of "blue on blue".

Maybe his purple heart was "friendly fire"?

Literally just laughed out loud.

Nobody even mentioned that the flabby necked geek couldn't even pass as an old retired Marine, much less an active duty leader of men.

MR-

There I was savoring the irony that he didn't have to work on Veterans Day... and then I got to the bold.



That was certainly unexpected...

Well, I guess that makes it pretty obvious who's pitching and who's catching.

Or would that be "Blew on Blew"

Well, depending on how the evening goes... maybe he "blew on blue"?

Major General? Major jackass!

I don't think this guy should get any sympathy for his age. 2 stars is pretty ambitious of him though

Some Marine can say for sure, but I thought USMC General officers wore scarlet vests with that uniform, not scarlet cummerbunds.

Are people just generally THAT BORED with their current lives that they have to assume the "life" of someone in any military branch? By that I mean, come on, are you that much of an attention whore? It pisses me the fuck off that people repeatedly do this kind of stupid shit when there are REAL PEOPLE THAT ARE ACTUALLY FIGHTING EVERY SINGLE DAY TO EARN THE RIGHT TO WEAR THOSE UNIFORMS AND THE MEDALS AS WELL. :icon_rage :icon_rage :icon_rage

GET A FUCKING LIFE!!!

/rant.

Edit: Ok I didn't see the part where he actually did serve, but STILL, he lied about his service and what he did. And that is still inexcusable.

Nice
