Good to hear they caught another one, SSG Jeffrey Spencer. I like this quote from the Sheriff: “It is plain troubling. Our citizens pride themselves in honoring true veterans, just as the rest of the country. This man stole a title which has been earned by many through bloodshed of their own.

Great, Round em all up and bust them out in front of their family, girlfriends( if by some notice they have one), and their cities where they live. Then let every soldier that lives around there walk by and just look at them with disgust for the shitbags they are.

Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but these guys need a reality check. Start by taking him to a slaughterhouse and let him watch as a cow is bled prior to being turned into dog food. No mask. Let him get a nose full of the smell of blood. The next stop is the VA hospital. On the way you can explain that when SHTF the blood you see is leaking out of a friend or himself. When you get there introduce him to some vets that are missing arms or legs. This is what you may come back like. If you're lucky enough to come back at all. The final stop is the recruiter's office. tell him that if he wants a uniform, the person to see is right through that door. IF he can cut it. Wish him luck as you leave him there.

I'm so glad the cops were savvy enough to walk that idiot right into an arrest.

Article says he served (separated, too?) as a seaman apprentice -- an E-2, not even an E-3. He never saw combat or earned a purple heart.....lies to the cops; one of whom, the Parker County Sheriff, is a Navy veteran.....then somehow able to bond out at $18,500 over a $2,300 LWRC assault rifle?! What a d-bag

Dress him up like an Admiral and drop him at the Pentagon. It will be years before anyone notices

Put him in a small room, with me, for about an hour. What I do to him will only take about 5 minutes, but I want him to sit on his ass thinking about what I will do to him for the next 55 minutes.

SSG Jeffrey Spencer In humble opinion, make that Sailor do the training with the prospective SEAL candidates to see what they are made of, and if he does not finish the course, he does it again, and again, and again!
