So I saw my first military poser today at Wal-Mart of all places. Had Army ACUs, popped collar, what looked like a white turtleneck and Doc Marten's boots, patrol cap on indoors, no name tapes anywhere, Marine Corps Globe-and-Anchor on his pc, no unit patches and an American flag patch with no stars. I asked him what unit he was in, he responded with being an E-7 petty officer in the Navy.

Several posers over the years. Actually ran into one at the V A while attending an "anger management" group. He was military but wanted everyone to believe he was combat infantry. How am I sure he was a "poser" "We were out on ambush-it was night and raining heavy. It was my watch so I sat there with my poncho over my head to keep the rain and mosquitos off, I peered out occasionally. This one time I saw the "gooks" so I detonated the "claymore" and all Hell broke loose." said he. "Really," said I, "what unit were you with?"---- "Oh! I can't remember." said he. This guy was Charlie Sheehan right out of the movie "Platoon." If they want to say that junk, they should reserve it for civilians. Makes me sick. Nobody wanted to be a "grunt" back then (during Viet Nam) now, many who weren't claim they were. If you didn't walk the walk, don't talk the talk.

The guy in the picture has his ribbons all scrambled. As far as I can tell, nothing is where it's supposed to be.
