There are so many non- vet dudes hanging around the gun ranges and gun shops with beards, operator hats, and grunt style shirts now that I don't even care anymore. I don't get it, but whatever. I guess it's like a weekend biker fantasy type thing now.

Yeah, it's easy to do and now each time I purchase something the discount is automatic.
Goddammit, I always wanted a set of Blues and an NCO sword and kept blowing my pay at The 8 Ball and The Other Place in J-Ville. Blues were $300 BITD and the sword was about $170...both outta my price range at the time. Now here come these cunt wanker peckerwoods with all the bling.

That's a level of douche baggery awesomeness that deserves an award right before an ass-kicking.
My sister's piece of shit husband claims to have been a secret squirrel sniper in Panama in the Army with orders to go into Nicaragua and kill Noriega, et al. My nephew (not his son; this is my loser sister's second husband), in a psyops unit in the Army Reserve, saw his dd214 and all it said was MP, with the appropriate MP schools, etc. He called him out on it, he said all the secret stuff was redacted or not on the record. My sister says that my nephew and I are insensitive because he has PTSD "from the Army" (maybe also because he was incarcerated in the federal pen for drug trafficking, has a charge for child porn, was--is?--a member of the Bandidos?).
I've heard so many bullshit stories over the years I just shake my head and say, yeah, whatever, man. It's just fucking tedious.
Too bad, too, because I remember a time when most of these motherfuckers didn't want to be caught on the same side of the street with a guy in uniform.

The real deal will even rarely discuss their service.
I was on post deployment leave at home when a guy bought me a few beers when my buddies all said welcome home. He claimed to be a SEAL on Team 2 but he was pretty out of shape looking. Phony or not, his free beers were appreciated.
There are one or two courses members of a SMU will carry on their DD-214's. "Classified" training cracks me up. Posers can't even take 5 minutes on Wikipedia to sort out their lies. Turds.
Quite possible. Unless he was wearing a unit patch normally associated with Bragg.

This guy has been a civie for years. I doubt the stories he was telling. He was not familiar with military culture.
Professional Biographical Data for Mr. John Moore
I was doing some poking around about different climate change theories. Specifically on the topic of Sea water rise, etc. Anyway, I came across this video
Some dude name John Moore, making some military claims, that seem pretty damn fishy. Specifically how he talks about it, just seems like bullshit. Anyway he has claims of "fighting terrorism" since the 1960's, intelligence'ness, avation crew, and of course Special Forces and covert/Special black ops, and general ninja'in stuff. All that too become a private investigator and have a tell all brief of how we are doomed by planet X and the 20-50 degree pole shift that is bound to happen...

He's 400lbs of shit in a 200lb bag. And a lunatic on top of it.

Speaking of outing.....I had forgotten to bring this up here until I saw this thread revival.
Early January I was at a local chapter meeting for the Emergency Nurses Association. When I was there I ran into a dude who was a RN in the ED at UNC Hospitals (8 miles down the road), when he was there I knew him peripherally, though his wife and my wife were decent friends. We were in small groups and someone says to me, "hey you were in the Navy, did you know Raul (yes, real name) here was a SEAL?" My head did the quick swivel. "Really??" I ask. I follow with the standard: "What class number were you in?" Raul says, "it was way back in the 80s, we didn't have numbers, we had a winter class and a summer class." "uh huh," says I.... "that weird. My best friend Mike (real name, former corpsman) was in class 150 something, that was around 1990 if I believe. They had class numbers." So he says, "well, we had special classes without numbers...."
I didn't take it further. It wouldn't get either of us anywhere, but I made the others in the group aware that BUDS had class numbers since, well, the beginning. "Huh, isn't that something. All BUDS classes have numbers, but yours didn't? That really is incredible."

Agreed. Lies of omission are just as bad.
I mean, they're not really lying per se. It's just that the whole "patriot" aesthetic borrows heavily from military (especially SOF) imagery, to the point where you have to wonder if these guys develop a CONOP to make a trip to the liquor store.
I wonder if there are any patriot-style hipsters who, instead of going for the modern GWOT look, pattern their style after SEALs from the 80s, ala Charlie Sheen

Sounds very similar to MSNBC’s Malcom Nance, who, other than being aircrew, is a total fraud but he says shit people want to hear.
I don't see any hard livin in those eyes...and that fucking tie...One thing about real combat vets: no vague references to this and that. You're either specific--who you were with, where you were at--or you're a fucking poser bitch. There's very little information that remains classified about the Vietnam War. Just about everything has been declassed...except the names of South Vietnamese who worked for the CIA...they are still redacted because some are still living in Communist Vietnam.
This asshole walked trails ALONE looking for "terrorist" booby traps? Vietnam combat vets don't usually refer to VC/NVA as terrorists. And I don't know anybody, even MACV/SOG dudes, who walked trails alone.

Someone with a writing style similar to mine wrote an article about this very subject. I’ll post it after I get off the plane.
