Have you seen military posers in person?

I was in Arkansas during the cold war I was in 1978 to 1984 till titan was faised out I have a genteman who is trying to come off as a Navy Seal its apparent he is not I did take him to my VFW and after a round of questions from my friends he was ready to leave he told me he did not like talking about it but when he is drunk he tells tales of how he knows how to shoot, track, and kill he is my age(58) and has seen more action than General Patton how do I find out if he did serve I have his full name

Not recently

I think a ran into my first stolen valor dude last week camping with the kids. He had a bdu cap with a cross and a major rank. He had to have been 70 years old. I asked him what service he was in. He told me Air Force reserve (Chaplin) and that he flew F105s and F4s in Vietnam. I asked him if it was State Military Reserve, he said no, the Air Force Reserve. He then got into stories about how he was Forced to bailout of his F4 in theater and how his son flew an F111 out of England and let him copilot it for a practice bombing run over Scotland. What did not add up for me was that I asked that he must have at least an Air Medal for that kind of tour in Vietnam. He said he did not earn one Air Medal. My dad earned the Air Medal OLC for flying radio relay KC-135s in theatre. I will stand corrected if my hunch is wrong. Can my Air Force brother chime-in on this?

Nope

I was in the Navy starting in 72. I can recognize most of the awards, and ribbons from the Nam era. I have no clue how to recognize campaign ribbons and Army and Marine insignias and unit designations. Hell some soldiers have ribbons on both sides. I can recognize special forces most of the time. Having explained that, I pretty much can recognize false valor by the demeanor and stories. Those who had a rough time rarely boast about it. Im proud of all Veterans and those that choose to pretend, have a special place in hell waiting for them.

Yes, they're usually pretty easy to spot. Normally their hair cut is not in regs, they're wearing the uniform, especially decs, wrong, and they carry themselves in a way that's haughty, and just wrong.

Unbelievable

Sick SOB

Thank you!

XThis picture must be staged. No one can get a uniform so screwed up. This should be like those puzzles in magazines here your have to find all the errors.
