Hell, you'd expect them to ask how he got the PH's.... retards.
Poser Busting
- Thread starter AWP
- Start date
I hope the cop did his job and wrote their names in his/her report.
BLUF: Those Marines were dumb, This guy is playing the victim card pretty hard (my opinion), and some of the comments about the boys are even dumber (some).
These boys were stupid and full of misguided motivation - to observe from a more realistic point of view, they probably felt cool creating a scene.
I'm pissed at the situation and I'm disappointed that the old Marine simply couldn't give them the look that says "I am every bit of as real as it gets" which is spoken in a universal fuck off style of language (even to these young retards). I get even more aggravated at the flame job people put on our dumb youth growing up in the ranks who act as if we don't allow for that shit to happen. Call it what you will, but the actions of the stupid spawn from the long ass dog handler patrol leash we put them on to begin with. In the article comments section, people (even former Marines) are calling for their heads - dishonorable discharge and some jail time. Really?!
These are retarded, likely high and tight donning, Marpat backpack wearing kids who are loving their God, Country, and Corps a little too hard right now. Put them in their place and teach some of the values you'd expect to hear about in Clint Eastwood or John Wayne movie, whatever.
Even if the guy was a poser and got an ass whooping - what just happened to you? Jail for assault, possibly battery or manslaughter (depends on tier level of extreme) and then face a career change; the victim makes a YouTube video about free speech. Leave it on facebook and feel like you did your part if it works you over so bad. That poser doesn't have your kind of career and he strives to benefit from it anyway he can. One mistake and he'll have it too... fuck him... fuck that guy.

Which is why getting their names will allow their command to schedule some weekend work for the next 45 days or so.
FYI, I was accused approx 2 years ago, of being a poser myself, by a retired Officer. To the point that a retired SGM was calling active duty Officers to ask about me and the accusations. This wanker had seen a photo of me wearing a particular camo uniform that belonged to an organization that I was not officially affiliated with.
His unfounded accusations almost cost me a job that was worth a LOT of money. Thankfully the people contacted proved that the accusations were completely unfounded, But 2 years later, if I run into this Intel fuck in a dark ally tonight, he's going to have a very dark Halloween indeed!
Bottom line, get your facts 100% straight, and then be prudent with what you do with it.

I think they should get a foot in their ass by their command and then apologize to the older vet. They have brought shame upon the Corps with that behavior.

There are folks who put on one of our uniforms and then parade in costume. They are looking for an identity that they are lacking. In short, they are pretty unhappy with themselves and their lives. That is what posers are doing, and in some ways they are paying tribute to the real military vets.
On the other side of the coin are those who over shoot their poser busting opportunity. It is driven by two things. One is the obvious insult to the uniform. The other is what the courts have said about posers and "free speech". For vets, both are wrong and it comes out in a rush at the poor bastard that does not think much of himself. All that said, it should never cross the line of unlawfull assult. That brings more harm to the uniform than what the poser does in the first place. Sometimes it is best to just make your point to the poser, and walk away. In the end, the poser is really not fooling anyone very much. Try not to make it any worse for your fellow vets.

So some random drunk came up to them and for no reason thought they were vets? Bullfuckingshit!
They accepted free drinks, therefore they broke the law.
So selling a t-shirt to a genuine vet for $100 under false pretenses was unintentionally hurting vets? I'd like to unintentionally drop a brick on your face from a second floor window. Ooops! My Bad Bitches!
That POS needs his ass kicked to wake his ideas up. Dickhead.
Yep...I like the way the intoxicated crumb who could probably barely stand on his own intimidated them and made them feel so uncomfortable that in order to appease his demands they have to lie and accept free things under false pretenses.
Now I get it....

Yep...that was the part the got to me too.
Bold face part:
For starters the editor allowed the dipshit to write a story about being a poser, and didn't think it would cause an outrage.
You said the apologies were fake.
People responded by sending the owner a message (fire the editor and reporter)
So how is cancelling my subscription to a publication I disagree with an assault on the 1st Amendment?
That Amendment gives the reporter some protection when he wrote the story, that Amendment also gives me the right to cancel if I disagree with the papers content.

@DA SWO :
Yes, I said the apologies are fake. By "fake", I mean they are not sincere, and simply a reaction to the firestorm caused by the article.
Cancelling your subscription to a publication you disagree with is certainly not an assault on the 1st Amendment, my point was, and is, that I see far to many people pick and choose what should and should not be published, simply based on their opinion of the subject.
To add...I am all for the news paper publishing the article. Unless they added an editorial stating that they support the columnist's actions, they are simply allowing him to show his ass. I'd rather that, than have them say 'no', the people cannot handle reading this.

No. I'd say the editors allowed him to show the newspaper's ass.

They did that by publishing the article... actions speak louder than words.

I need to think about this for a while. If I am hearing you and @DA SWO correctly, you are saying the newspaper was incorrect by publishing the article - yet I like that the published it. I liked it only because I want the opportunity to make my own decision on what I should or should not be angry about...to take it to a cable news point-of-view, it is the same as FOX and CNN...they pretty much show exactly what their target audiences want to see. Period. The newspaper was wrong to apologize, they should have said that the reporter was in the wrong to do what he did, and that he'd be dealt with internally. Instead they accepted the blame for simply being the messenger...I am not pro-shoot-the-messenger.

My grandfather, an old Army LRRP, has an acquaintance who often represents his Vietnam service as something it's not. This man is also a hoarder and prone to panic attacks, so it goes hand-in-hand with his mental illness(es). However, when he tells his bullshit stories in public, Grandpa doesn't yell at him and blow a gasket. He just shuts him down, quietly and effectively. A typical interaction would go:
"You know, when I was under fire as a Navy Corpsman in the Mekong Delta-"
"Bob, we both know you were a Major's orderly in Saigon."
"You know, when I was under fire as a Navy Corpsman in the Mekong Delta-"
"Bob, we both know you were a Major's orderly in Saigon."
They published it in the wrong context, and that's what pissed people off.
I read the Fox story, and he came across as a smug prick; that's what pissed people off.
The Editor not knowing people would be pissed tells me he is out of touch with the readers.
He attempted a light-hearted story, but lost readers by bragging about selling the fake camouflage shirt to "a drunken VN Vet".
He could have left that part off and put a paragraph in on how to spot a fake and I think the backlash wouldn't have been as strong (funny to me that a LGBT Activist led the charge).
It's a free paper that survives on advertising, again know your audience; because in the end, it's a business.
He had a great, a fantastic way to educate people about Stolen Valor and A) How easy it is and B) why it hurts, but instead he took the chickenshit route. His editor allowed it and both dropped some weak-ass apology/ reasoning for their actions. People and advertisers will vote with their feet. When Brian Williams pulled his stunt people were pissed and bolted from NBC. What's the difference here except they admit to making money from their lies?

I was originally going to challenge this statement and as I did not think it was a fair comparison. (I was under the impression that NBC did not know that Williams was making it up as he went along)...but...researching before I posted, found that they did. Doom on them, and their ratings. The List: 32 Lies and Disputed Stories NBC News Let Brian Williams Tell For a Decade - Breitbart
@DA SWO prompted me to Google a bit more on the writer and the paper. Yep, the writer is an ass and the paper is just as moronic - reading further, it was pretty apparent that both were in on the 'joke'. The joke being, "look how easy it is to fool people, especially other vets". So F' both of them too.
