Fake Army Ranger goes to court

[hjmick]

Yes, but we're talking about people who made serious investments in time and money. Wouldn't you do a bit of due diligence before investing with someone? It took me literally 2 minutes to find a list of MoH recipients online. Surely someone who flies to Africa to work for someone would invest that minimal amount of time.

I would, and I'd like to think everyone would. But I imagine that, coupled with my previous answer, there is a certain eagerness for many people and organizations to associate themselves with men and women who have been awarded various honors in an effort to give themselves and their organizations a level of legitimacy and visibility they may otherwise lack. This desire and eagerness impedes their judgment and blinds them to the inconsistencies that others might see.


Maybe? That's just my opinion. I was wrong once...

Certainly a possibility I guess, but man the two MoHs would have been setting of alarms for nearly anyone I would think. As the real SEAL said, that hasn't happened since WWI.

You most certainly did , and you did it again today with another member. Please remove the words truth from your avatar henceforth.

AH , here's the link for Jim or anyone to see for themselves.

Wow. If you actually read those words you are One Mighty good guy with the ability to twist words to your liking.

ACCUSATION, ACCUSE...Really?

[jimnyc]

Jim. As I said earlier. I did not accuse anyone. As for proof to backup the stolen valor claims. I have no need to prove anything. I expect the PROOF will be pretty evident as time goes on. If nobody is violating the Stolen Honor code. There is nothing to defend, or prove. And that's not a hunch.
Calling a members military service into question has been welcomed by most veterans who despise, and wish they could personally meet, and handle such people. What's wrong with that?
It would almost be like one of the members of DP trying to pretend they are YOU, and impersonating YOU. How would you feel in that case Jim? There's another name for it most people have learned to recognize. Like...IDENTITY THEFT.

Yes, you did actually, and in several different ways. And now you continue with stolen valor talk, and how proof will be evident - proof of WHAT exactly then, if you aren't accusing? Why ANY talk of identify theft? Why even bring that up if you aren't making an accusation?

Wow. If you actually read those words you are One Mighty good guy with the ability to twist words to your liking.

ACCUSATION, ACCUSE...Really?

WHat did you mean when you told the other member "Identified you..for me instantly" and then questioned whether he knew someone?

Okay Mighty10th. So, how bout you share some of your military background with us. You ruined it when you started out with the Teabagging remarks. Identified you..for me instantly. And will probably explain why I didn't take time to Welcome you here.

Do you know Don Shipley? I do..personally.


You accused the guy of not being a vet. Own it. Coward.

Oh, I see. When I told him his comment about the Teabagging ruined it. You twisted my meaning into him not being a vet? Really?

How bout I ask you how you feel about the comment "Teabagging". If I associate that with you. Does that tell you I don't think you are a vet??

Then why ask him about his military background if your gripe was a teabagging comment?

I think calling them tea baggers or or using any derogatory variation of that is stupid.

That has ZERO to do with my military service. You seem to be under the impression that the military only has conservative members, and that may have been true when you were aboard the CSS Virginia pops, it certainly isn't true today.

Maybe I should have asked you instead?

So, now that you finally admit I didn't accuse you of being a phony. You just had to finish off your childishness with another dumb remark. And no. I am not under that impression at all. In fact. Believe it or not. Many of the people I formerly served with were as Liberal as you seem to be. But, at least they didn't feel any needs to use the name calling. Nor did I. We were civil, and allowed for each of us to have our own opinions about almost everything. But never once..did any of them Pretend they were trying to be someone they were not.

[Born2DecadesLate]

Just admit you use stolen valor as a weapon to attack vets that dare to disagree with you, and move on.

NO WAY. That would be Lying. I won't lie for you, or anyone else just because you disagree, or don't like what I have to say.

Pshh, your lie train has already left the station sir when you point blank claimed you didn't accuse me or the other poster of "stealing valor" when you certainly did.


I gather this guy is what is known as an internet troll?

[jimnyc]

Asked me why I asked him about his military background at that time? I didn't - YOU did, and you're running from it now.

You have an issue with name calling, but not with accusations about someone's military service without proof? Why do YOU start shit like this, and then act like a victim when called on it?
