You raise an interesting point. He’s self-described as a Marine Gulf War vet, but in the multitude of articles he’s generated (many in the foreign press) I’ve never seen a reference to rank, unit, or discharge date, all seemingly normal questions. It would seem someone would have debunked him by now though.
He does have a couple of pics (above) on his photo album page graduating from recruit training with a caption refering to a three year USMC career, which would make me wonder if something was amiss. No pics from Kuwait. Lots from Hawaii, where he’s promoting secession from the US.
His words and deeds brand him an oathbreaker and traitor. He merits exile
I agree. Along with renouncing his citizenship, he freely describes himself as an “enemy combatant. Clearly his arguments that “his government” isn’t representing him are specious.
