Have you seen military posers in person?

Yes

Yes, they are pathetic a**holes

In my experience helping to out frauds I have learned that mistakes are inevitable and that sometimes you think a person is a fake/fraud when in fact they are not. I've been fortunate that the people I help don't typically make these mistakes often and when we do we make an apology and post it on social media and to the person.

On the other hand I've stopped being amazed at that craptastic bullsheet that people will cast out there and the people who follow them as if they are the 2nd coming of Jesus. Even after they are provided with all the evidence showing the person is a fraud they refuse to believe it. It's trul mind boggling.

As for those who would say "Why bother? They aren't hurting anyone." I offer this in reply...

Ask the local homeless Veterans if it hurts them when the charity they went to for help couldn't offer it because they gave their money to a fraud claiming to be this mighty hero of the great Battle for the last Twinkie.

Ask the Combat Disabled Veteran who would otherwise be eligible for housing upgrades to accommodate his/her disability but that charitable benefit never happened because a fraud got upgrades first when he/she never should have and the charity doesn't have the finances anymore. That same Veteran could have gotten a free service dog if another fraud hadn't scammed the charity out of one.

Ask that fraud how it is that he/she can claim a 100% VA Rating when they never left CONUS and did nothing more serious than an S-1 Clerk. They can claim a 100% Rating and yet they never finished BCT/AIT or if they did they got kicked out shortly after. Typically they never completed their initial contract.

I've seen this sheeit happen too often. It's these frauds and fakes that make life much harder for the tried and true disabled Veterans to receive their well earned compensation. It's because of the frauds/fakes that I will continue to help people like Jonn Lilyea and the people at This Ain't Hell and Military Phonies expose them. It's my commitment to my honored brothers and sisters.

If you don't think Stolen Valor is a problem then you have no idea how big of a problem it truly is.

What a piece of shit

It is a felony to pose as military personnel

I've never got to meet any of these people I would love to meet em someday they ain't gunna like me much

not that I know of

Seen a 20 something guy with a USMC tee on and ask if he was in.. asked he what unit. He said it was so long ago he couldn't remember. Lol. Another said he was a Navy seal sniper.. he said he was in for only 6 months.

Yes

And, unfortunately, the Supreme Court has ruled that it's not illegal to be a poser...good thing for the Vietnam-era posers who, according to several reputable sources, are said to number over 22 million (only about 2, 250, 000 actually served in-country) so, as a Vietnam vet, what the Hell are they trying to share in?....the treatment when we got home? Fortunately, I've learned to just ignore them and continue to live my life....just don't understand these wannabes....
