Note: This is not my (foxtrot) OP. Posting it here as others are reposting across the net.

Re-posting this so it can spread like wildfire:

original thread here:
http://georgiapacking.org/forum/view...hp?f=6&t=49635

At this point LE has been notified and is on the look out.

This will be a brief rant about what happened in gizmo's life today:

So, I went to a gun show today with a friend of mine. We were in the mood for some deals, and in general just wanted to go play with some guns. extensive record let me describe this individual first. 30-40 yr old white male, approx 300 lbs, Blonde high and tight hair cut and a goofy overall appearance. He was wearing glasses on the back of his head, a belt on the outside of his ACU top full of gadgets and a radio with a hand mic wrapped around him self and clipped on his uniform.

I wanted a closer look at this guy so I told my buddy I would be right back and conducted some good ole fashion recon. He was at the polaris dealer talking to the sales rep about buying 4 quads "for his guys." I jumped in the conversation

Me: Jokingly "4! Can I have one!"
He chuckled and I asked him what unit he was in.

Him:"10th Special Forces."

Me: "Really? What are you guys doing up here?"

Him: "Oh Im just helping out some friends of mine"

I took note of all his uniform bits and pieces and walked away. He went about his business and I later confronted him again and asked him if I could talk to him outside. He and I walked out to the back of the gun show and I began to ask him a series of questions that only an individual with his experience would know. He failed miserably and I then decided to level with him. I produced my ID and asked for his. He told me it was in his car so I said lets go get it. Of course he did not have one and I began to lay into him. I yelled at him for a good 30 minutes and made him remove all the items he had never earned on his uniform. I called him plenty of names and said that he was wearing a uniform that my friends have died in, and that he didn't even deserve to touch one.

This guy began to apologize and back pedal, and asked me not to "tell on him." I began to tear into him and lower his self esteem even more hoping that he attempts suicide tonight.

All in all this is everything he lied about and what he was wearing:

Special Forces Qualification
Ranger Qualification
Airborne Qualification
Combat Infantryman Badge with 2 stars
Senior Parachutist Badge
Air Assault Badge
Military Police Badge
US ARMY Tape

and last but not least, Captain Rank.

Later people came up to me and told me what he had told others about himself:

He has served 20 yrs in the Army
He just came back from a 49 month deployment from Afganaland
He goes back and forth all of the time on "Special Mission"

Who knows.. may be the same guy...

ETA) I do find it amusing that a guy THAT out of shape tries to pass himself off as special forces.. if 2/3 of the guys that apply (in good shape mind you) can't even make it, how does a guy get through with a spare tire hanging on his ass? I think it would be potentially dangerous to play that game of full-out impersonation. There are SF members of the community all around that might not just yell at someone like that for 30 minutes. A person would encounter one eventually. The last group someone would ever think about impersonating and piss off should be that community, as there could be an associated risk of early death..... hey, you impersonate people putting their life at risk, you might be putting yours at risk for real as well (wrong people to piss off).

Fox-

About that court ruling.

Even though I'm a vet, and absolutely abhor what this douchebag is doing, and what the douchebag in the referenced court case did ... it was a good ruling. The way that law was written, you could charge Tom Hanks under it for wearing the Medal in Forrest Gump, or, hell, John Wayne for wearing a uniform and medals in any of his movies, or Tom Hanks and Anthony Edwards for Top Gun.

The judge gave the government an easy out, too: rewrite the statute and narrow the focus so that it requires intent to deceive, rather than simply making a claim, or wearing a medal. With such narrowing, it would pass judicial scrutiny, and be enforceable.

The law is all about technicality. If we make the laws too broad and open-ended, then we wind up with the potential to give up far, far more in rights than we gain in security.

But, that said, what a fucking douchebag, trying to pass off that spare tire and radio getup as SF ... ?

(Also, htat wasn't SCOTUS that made the ruling, it was (I'm pretty sure) the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.)

Have you seen kids wearing dog tags to look "cool" these days?

I guess you don't have to sign your ass over to Uncle Sam to EARN those anymore.

That bugs me. This guy is just a kid mommy didn't pay enough attention to.

A sad man indeed.

The guy in the OP was wearing a name tape with Clark on it. Hmmmm.

I think I would have had a hard time with this guy too. I can believe that a lard ass could earn all that other stuff but a Ranger Tab, give me a break. I'm with Bishop, what a douche.

i'm so jealous of his long scroll and tab....

if only i was that high speed. i wish i would have done something with my life to earn what he did. to bad i don't weight 300lbs or else i would have automatically been SF.

WHAT THE FUCK, OVER?!

i forgot. this is what we fight for these days. fat americans that get everything handed to them, and these guys. the guys that make going through shit seem like it was for nothing.

i'm extremely tired and fighting sleeping pills (josh feel free to comment on that.... i know you want to). i'm holding myself back on a 100 page rant.

I was stationed at Ft. Bragg in the early 90's in an Air Cav unit under 18th Airborne Corps, Simmons AAF.........No way was his FAT ASS THERE !!!

I don't claim to be a tough guy.......Just had a bad habit of getting duty in field and front line units like Cav and Airborne.......I could spot his PHONY PHAT ASS A MILE AWAY !!!........I'd see the Rangers training around base all the time, Having to carry a live chicken around in a ruck till graduation, SF Medics get a goat - Use your imagination......Sometimes graduation rates where 20% or less, I knew much tougher guys than me that couldn't make it in.

Guys like this are scary cause their washouts and wannabee's, They like to dress up as Cops,or Soldiers, Usually are rolling around in a retired cop car bought at auction, And their primary occupation is being a Nighttime security guard at the mall........I woudn't be surprised if he had hand cuffs and a fake M4 Airsoft in the trunk of that car, This is the kind of guy that would impersonate a cop and try to rape someone .

Really hoping the authorities pick this creepy guy up for a closer look.

I thought that was possibly CJ the Recon SeAL Ranger, but he doesn't look Lakota at all.

BTW, this guy is a Lakota Warrior poser. 9 out of 10 white hairs will agree...

Here, he got caught posing as Clint Eastwood...

It must be a sickness? My ex father-in-law used to complain about all the places on his body that hurt all the time. I asked him, foolishly one day what made him hurt like that. He told me it happened when he was captured by the North Koreans. He said they tortured him sometimes for up to 8 hours a day. He told me the worst thing they did to him was to beat him in the lower back with a baseball bat. I asked him how he got free and he told me a prisoner exchange after the cease fire.
His daughter told me he was never in the service. When he told me they were trying to beat information out of him, I thought the North Koreans must have been pretty stupid, anybody could look at him and tell he didn't know a damn thing. But being ignorant and telling stories like that are two different things. I never had an ounce of respect for him again.

Both of my grandfathers were in the Navy and my dad and my step dad both served in the Army. None of them talk about their service times at all.

My grandfathers were the same way, IP. One jumped on D-Day with the 101st, served through V-E day with them, then went to the Pacific with the 11th Airborne. The other one was a medic with a MASH unit in Korea. Neither one would ever talk about it.

TBIRD :

One things for sure, the Koreans and Red Chinese didn't take prisoners - They used your boot laces to tie your hands behined your back, then shot you in the back of the head.

My dad used to get drunk and had PTSD, told the stories about when all hell broke lose and they were overrun, Spent days running for their lives because capture meant death, Along the way finding GI's frozen in the snow, Hands tied behined their backs and shot in the head, Claims they would kill a Red just to get the Rice/Pea cakes they carried for rations cause he was starving - I believe most of it.
