Poser Busting

Apologies then, I mistook the intent of your words. Although as to the tone of the article, to me it seemed like he was scared he almost wrongfully challenged another mans honor. In any event, thanks for the clarification.

No apologies needed at all. I blame the internets for not allowing intent to come across properly in text. :thumbsup:
 
"We" are going to keep this shit up until any good "post 9/11 capital" is burned through and the pendulum swings the other way. Our self-righteousness and sense of entitlement is just stupid and counter productive.
 
Everything about this guy seems legit... you know that when you can rock service stripes on your right sleeve that you've REALLY seen some shit in your career.

Just an FYI: He's actually wearing an old set of Dress Blues. Mine are the same. I have 7 on each sleeve.

Unlike him, I actually earned mine.

I've came across a few individuals in my life where I was skeptic about if they're a poser or not. One in particular over the winter during one of my study classes, the kid was claiming he was a Recon Marine. I had no way of telling he was truthful or not, however he decided to tell the class a story that seemed way tacky for a Recon Marine to be telling. However, I also know nothing of the truth or fabrication.. just my judgement at the time.

Obviously people being posers have been going on for a while.. quite some years ago I was in the Boston area visiting family. My father, girlfriend and I were walking around the city and we came across a Military Surplus store. We stumbled in there after other stores and began wandering around, against my wishes truthfully. I found no reason we needed to be in the store.. but it turns out some guy decided he wanted to make a comment (I was young and in my second year of college at the time). He said something along the lines of "These kids want to be us but don't want to have to live the lifestyle." Apparently he thought I was a possible poser in the making, lol.
 
On the Ranger Up Facebook page, there was a combat engineer private, goes by the name of AJ DeMaio, who actually had the balls to post a comment that he was basic EOD. He ALSO had the gall to post pics of himself on FB, in uniform, with a crab he didn't earn. I haven't laughed so hard at an outing in ages.

Look for Ranger Up's proposed EOD shirt about 5-second fuse, and find his name in the comments. He still hasn't completely scrubbed his Instagram or FB pages of his shit. Like everything else, he's half-assing it.

I believe Army W.T.F. jumped on it also.
 
We have a real Marine being busted by a soldier. I wonder how many poser's are being "outed/busted" by other poser's?:wall:.
 
I ran across this little gem today, a former ambassador to Switzerland.

Body, and Tombstone of Lies, Are Removed

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11— At 10:30 this morning at Arlington National Cemetery, a team of gravediggers quietly dug up the remains of M. Larry Lawrence and carted away his granite tombstone, which was engraved with lies.

---

Ms. Nicolls recalled today that she had alerted a State Department investigator who interviewed her at the time of his nomination, saying she suspected that Mr. Lawrence fabricated his war record.

''I said, 'You really need to investigate everything in his curriculum vitae,' '' Ms. Nicolls recalled. ''I said, 'You need to look at dates, at how could he have been in college and also been in the merchant marine at the same time period.' All this could have been avoided if the powers that be had done an investigation.''

At the State Department, a senior official said, ''According to our records no one interviewed raised any question about his merchant marine service.''

State Department investigators twice tried to verify the account offered by Mr. Lawrence, but each time the Coast Guard said it had no record that he was on board the Bushnell. Still, the State Department recommended to the White House that the nomination go forward, concluding that the inability to verify Mr. Lawrence's war record was ''not relevant, the senior official said

State had the power to out this guy before he was confirmed, but didn't. His own assistant dimed him out. Worse than that is the bold above. At least the POS was removed from Arlington.
