Shhhh.... Don’t call him a phony soldier or the Soros steno pool, Media Matters, will smear you.
LMAO...
I guess if you’re going to go for it, go full tilt. Man, oh, man.
What possesses people to do such things?
Chicks dig uniforms! Every UPS driver knows it.
Regret, envy, self-loathing... heck, I don’t know.
“He can’t decide if he’s enlisted or officer”
Pardon my ignorance but would it be possible for you to point out the discrepancies that are evident on the pictures?
Damn...the guy should've given me a call. I was awarded an MSM a month before I left the service, but I've never displayed it, as I did not wear my Class A's prior to the end of my service.
Of course, I would've notified the proper authorities after he took delivery.
I see stripes in the beach picture, and the article stated “wearing the uniform of a lieutenant colonel” in the second picture. I’m Army, so I don’t know Marine uniforms, though... (and I could be completely delirious, also...
In the top photo he is wearing enlisted dress blue uniform with the rank of Master Gunnery Sergeant, worn on the sleeve. The enlisted dress blue uniform has red piping on it.
The bottom photo he is wearing officer dress blue uniform with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel (per the article), worn on the shoulder epaulets. The officer dress blue uniform does not have red piping.
on first look, he is a Master Gunnery Sargent in the top one, and a Capt or a Col (cant make it out on the laptop) in the bottom one
you cant be enlisted AND officer
He’s wearing dress blues. Its despicable that someone would impersonate any member of the military and adorn themselves with medals but if this clown had done his homework he’d have known Marines don’t go around in dress blues all the time.
That would make a kick-ass halloween costume.
Hmm..on second thought, you might run into a real Marine. Scratch that.
Just go as a run-of-the-mill knight.

Thanks for the education! You too frankenMonkey.
Marines cant define your uniforms, either, but your eyesight is just fine. :)
Notice that inhis MGySgt pic on top, his medals lack centered Navy Cross, while his fruit salad has a extra row.
I think he looked it up, I cant make out most of them, most look like “I was there” ribbons, a few atta boys, but to wear the Navy Cross, that is a sin.
I forgot what the army equivalent is, but whatever is just below MOH
He started out as a MGYSgt, then finished college, got his degree, then got his commission, then got promoted to LtCol all in 20 years. He's a mustang.
Looks like he’s also wearing a Presidential Service Badge on his right breast pocket (implying he once worked at the White House) and an Office of the SECDEF Badge on his left breast pocket (implying he once worked for the Secretary of Defense).
The man has been all over the place!
