part of his sentence, besides prison time and large fines should be sent to ft Jackson and made to complete boot camp for real, then get a dishonorable discharge. lee

This was near me. About 5 miles from my work!

What a schmuck! I didn't get the urge to dress up as someone else

When I was on Guadalcanal fighting the Germans we aere taught how to take care of people like that. It was a bit bloody but effective.

My above post is of course meant in jest. People who must play that they were in the military should be made to serve. Then they would deserve the accolades. Myself I don't ask about a veteran discount. I wasn't in combat or even in a combat zone. I just repaired teletype machines on an air base. No big deal.

Realized that so it got a like. ;-))Two if it were possible? I had a neighbor who triedd one similar--just more modern.

Reminds me of this: "Im not a Cowboy, just wearin the hat."

I get a kick out of watching the fake layout of the ribbon boards on the high fluting brass etc on movies. If the National Defense ribbon is #1 or 2 out of a chest full I do believe it to be fake!!!
At least the number of self-professed snipers and seal team members going to the gun shows has dropped. Haven't heard that spew in a couple of years. Course in a couple of weeks, I will have to put up with my BIL that had his sniper rifle setup to be dead on at 500 and 1000 yds without doping the scope. Glad he lives 3 states away and I only have to see him once a year or so.
I use my old geezer discounts quite frequently but never ask for any military or vet discounts. IIRC the only military discounts I have ever got were the Military reserved airline tickets where we had to be in full dress uniform and BK gives me a free cup of coffee if I go in around veteran's Day.
As for the posers, there are many in the great beyond to take care of their lies.

I've come across guys claiming to be combat vets from Viet Nam. I knew 100% it was BS. Quick test of a BS artist: ask him what his first general order is.

I hate the phrase "going viral", but there's a nice justice in knowing that this sack of fertilizer won't be able to go anywhere unrecognized for a long time.

I like the idea of making him go through basic and then giving him a dishonorable discharge, but prison time would be better.

Maybe prison after completing basic training.

No, cleaning bed pans at a Vet hospital would be more like it.

I read several articles on this guy and was surprised these pretend soldiers aren't that rare.

I thought the internet provided a make-believe playground for most of these folks but I guess not.

I wonder if getting booty counts as a "tangible benefit". Went to a fight call at a bar a few weeks back. Dude 1 was being called out by dude 2 as a poser because he was going on about being a soldier to chase tail. Dude 2 got the **** beaten out of him by dude 1 and friends, but since dude 2 (the actual former soldier) started the swinging, couldn't arrest dude 1.

Both drunk as all get out.
