Stolen Valor: US Congress hopeful falsifying military past.

This is from a Friend of mine that just retired from Army was SF and has confirmed the info. Yes he is a bit upset in this piece.

This lying piece of liberal garbage wasn't satisfied with proudly serving his nation as an Army Cook. No, he had to go and lie to the world that he was a "Green Beret" AND served in Desert Storm where he claimed to have been exposed to some agent that caused skin infections and health issues! FACTS: He was a Cook assigned to 3rd SFG, NEVER attempted the "Q" Course, and NEVER even deployed to Kuwait or Iraq. As far as he got was Korea! Hell, his records indicate that when he received his Good Conduct Medal after three years service, he was still a PFC! He is using this false service in his campaign literature and press releases. This falls under the Stolen Valor ACT! He has not only offended REAL Green Berets, but he has offended Desert Storm Veterans and Veterans suffering from ACTUAL exposure to hazardous agents and environmental factors! He is a THREE TIME THIEF! Three strikes and you are out in my book!

You know, there are times when I think "I could have been Recon, or SF or a SEAL", then I realize that I never made the first step toward that. Thus, I would never claim it. Especially-DUHHHHHH-if running for public service.....

Everyone that puts on the uniform performs an important job that in some way contributes to the overall mission. Some jobs are cooler-smarter-tougher-more dangerous-more boring-mentally challenging-physically challenging etc. If you want to go do something, try out. If you have what it takes, BOOM, you are in. If not, try again, or realize that some jobs are for young men/women.

If you are not proud of what you do, then you are not doing it well. I hope that this guy does not get elected, because that is exactly what we need in office. A POSER.

I love these a$$wipes, use us to get elected, the forget about us once they get there. I guess on the up side, he didn't claim he was a SEAL otherwise he'd be dead already.

When will people learn. Sure a Army Cook is not as exciting as being a Green Beret, but c'mon..... Someone has to do it. Being a 88M isn't too exciting either, but I know folks depend on me to bring them their beans and bullets

Best thing to do is get it out in the open.
