Stolen Valor guy busted.

Nobody ever pretends to be a former janitor.


No but they will pretend to be a "hero" but the one thing I have found over the years is a real hero (and I have known a few) won't talk to you about what they did. The quiet ones are more likely to be the real heroes as opposed to the braggart.
 
People are frickin' nuts. I hope he gets prosecuted for that crap.
 
I have one of those "tactical" jackets that have cool places on the sides to put patches, pockets on the chest, and all sorts of cool stuff. I never thought it looked "military", but one day at a Sheetz the lady behind the counter thanked me for my service. I was shocked at first and had to immediately go into a "Oh, I was never in the military." I felt so awkward that I cant imagine having the nerve to actually say "Oh, why thank you for your support."
 
In my job I run into lots of imposters from both the military and LE. Everybody I talk to seems to be spec. ops or a LE sniper. Guy that a lot of you know that used to be on the site and is a former Marine always asked if we got one of the asses to transfer them to him. He would run them through the wringer with questions on their MOS where they were stationed, deployed etc. It was great to listen to him take their story apart:D
 
Sort of like when no one who asserts to believe in reincarnation ever claims to descend from an endless line of peasants.

When someone asks me if I believe in reincarnation, I tell them I was a dog in my previous life, and that I was shot by a farmer for stealing chickens. I get really serious when I tell the story of how it happened. The look on their faces is priceless. :D

I do that when folks ask me what church I go to. I've got a whopper of a story about my last church back in Kansas.
My wife couldn't keep a straight face last time.

Oh, and I just feel bad for the .mil posers.
Most of them could not pass the ASVAB.

That's what I want to be when I come back. Somebody's dog. Would prefer she was good looking but I guess as a dawg I wouldn't care.

Actually, I believe we were all janitors at one time or another.

My job title at my company is Operations Manager. Included in my job duties are: changing light bulbs, unclogging toilets, killing spiders and cockroaches, and just generally being the office bitch. It wasn’t much different for me in the military. I spent more time cleaning than I ever did shootin.
 
At Sons of Confederate Veterans meetings you stand and tell your "connection" name, group and rank. I stood one night and said...Hamilton Hayes, Company D, 25th Infantry, S.C. Volunteers and the best I can tell was the Only private in the Confederate Army.
Much laughter followed.
