I know a few vets who would love to have words with this guy...

People like him really suck.
That is all.

In today's informed society, I really don't understand how anyone thinks they can get away with something like this... but then again these guys are mostly idiots. I've had a guy try to talk me out of money ("My car broke down in the parking lot here, I left my wallet at home and need a hundred bucks for a cab, can you spare anything? [insert military service story to guilt me]") while telling me his rank in the Army was Commander while I am WEARING a unit T-shirt hinting that I'm military... It's bad enough they're dumb enough to try it, but worse when they go for people who obviously know better...

Maybe those Marines should try winning some wars before getting all gung-ho on a mentally ill dude dressed up in a uniform.

What leads you to assume he's mentally ill?

I think those Marines are spot-on. But then again our finest warriors are always able to spot nasty sloppy civilian impersonators. :aok
-

I'm going to add that I also think he is mentally challenged (low IQ). Just from the way he speaks, and the fact that he has so many stripes on his sleeve (years of service), and his incredible stories.

definitely some fries short of a happy meal..
Hes lucky to drive off I recon.

Reminds me of this guy I came across in the gym at college who was bragging to people about being a marine sniper with 13 confirmed kills and going straight to sniper school, bypassing basic training because he was "soo fit" he didn't need it. Now I've never been in the military but when the guy on treadmill next to me who is "soo fit" can't even run a mile I got a little suspicious. I had made friends with a guy who was an actual marine, met him after he intervened to save me from a definite bellybutton whooping from a guy more than twice my size. This fight was initiated by this big lug who was calling me a popsicle for going to flight school and that flying required no intelligence as pilots all just used "auto takeoff, auto fly and auto land". Anyways I told the marine about the "sniper" who was walking around campus claiming to be a marine and maybe I should introduce them to each other since vets would likely enjoy the company of another vet. The "sniper" guy was a real bs'er unlike the guy in the video he was very quick to respond and lied firmly to people. Well the real marine shut that guy down one on every bs lie he dished out to the point he was crying. shoulda recorded that toejam

Yes, he attended special needs classes and is committing a felony. Do you know the two Marines personally? If not, why are you bagging on two current Marines who have actually taken the Oath?
Finally, please regale us with heroic tales of yore.

Maybe you should try thinking before you open your mouth? I have to assume from a comment like this, you are equally mentally ill, or just painfully unintelligent. And yes, I take this one personally. Who the hell are you to judge these men? How do you know they HAVEN'T fought over seas? And whether or not they have doesn't change the fact that this other idiot (A friend of yours maybe?) is committing a FEDERAL CRIME, desecrating a uniform men have died for, and defrauding the civilian populace.

How dare you insult the USMC Dave? How many battles and wars do they have to win, or brothers and sister have to be lost, until you can admit any screwball impersonating one is an idiot. And a criminal one.
And I got news for you. After over 30 years of doing this the ones who actually are to mentally ill to realize what they are doing wouldnt have been able to even speak the first sentence this knucklehead did. This whole "mentally ill" defense is just a scam most the time. This guy aint mentally ill. A loser maybe but not mentally ill. Plenty of people never served yet still live honorable lives having passed the "I want to be a fireman" stage at 5yo.
You kinda surprised me with this Dave.

I know of people who actually served in uniform boast about how they killed a billion enemy with nothing more than a spoon all by themselves. have medals earned from Kosovo, somalia to both gulf wars...
I know this girl that tells people how she broke both legs in the gulf war while jumping out of a Humvee during an attack. the truth she was drunk at a bar and she was dancing on a table and fell. that got her kicked out.

The Marines you reference aren't bragging about what they've done nor are they drunks at bar. Deflecting the insult you made toward the Marines using spoon killer examples and a drunk in a bar is weak and in poor taste.

Highly dubious that somebody with the bone density of a soldier would break her legs falling off a table. Breaking BOTH legs falling from a table.. we need a BS flag emoticon.

This veteran pilot was talking about how there were these 2 girls holding down this bunker in nam, he come straight down on top of them unloading missiles or rockets (i'm not sure) on em.."those girls were tough as nails and it was the only way to take em out". The vets I come across who are comfortable discussing killing were usually pilots, as for people on the ground where it is much more up close and personal are never particularly excited to discuss it and even referred to the question of "have you ever killed anyone?" as one of the stupidest question civilians ask.

I never said they were marines. my point is that bs comes out a few who never wore an uniform and a few who have. dont believe me, look at the picture of the other guy in the thread who pretty much is bs. he wasnt an impersonator.

one of the guys at work jumped from his porch to the floor a mighty height of 3 feet. he broke both bones on his right leg and I mean they were turned to dust. he had to have both replaced using cadaver bones.
I tore ligaments on my left ankle stepping down 9 inches from a slab to the floor. my younger brother broke his knee in boot camp when he fell as he was running.
and the girl was in the navy. she's 5'2 and about 110 lbs soaking wet. she was totally wasted drinking alcohol as she put it.

I have a friend who was out fishing of a wharf, was done for the night - headed back to his car he remembered he left a rod behind. Turned around and went back, slipped, landed on his backside the wrong way and broke his spine. He's in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Sometimes is just the luck of the way you fall.

And in keeping with your quote, notice how we direct just as much hell and hatred toward him as we do this guy. Doesn't matter whether you served or not, if you lie about your service, you're a sack of ****. There is no excuse despite your trying to make one by saying "Anyone can do it..."

FLOOB. Here is your requested emoticon: (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-signs019.gif)
For the record, I was in the Marines from 1989-1997. I was a tanker and I served with 2nd Tanks, 2nd Marine Div., 1st Armored Assault Bn., 3rd Marine Div and 8th Tanks, 4th Marine Div.
I never killed anyone with a spoon but if I ever came across this fake Sergeant Major talking all that trash and wearing that sloppy rendition of what an ignorant civilian thinks a soldier's uniform should look like ..... well I might just be tempted to try.
Those two young hard-chargers did the right thing. Maybe now other losers who want the respect and the prestige without ever putting down their own blood, sweat, tears and personal freedoms will think twice about donning a uniform they didn't earn.
And that's all I have to say about that.

Yeah, because we appreciate soldiers and marines for the danger of their jobs. It has nothing to do with the fact their job is in service to defense and freedom of their nation.
DaveBB, you're either a troll, an idiot, or the most unsavory individual I've come across in recent memory.

Does that stat for steelworkers include steel construction, or is it all steel production? Seems high for the latter - last metal place I was at had procedures up the yin yang and hardly anyone near the hot processes.

You know, you really have to hand it to the two Marines that called this guy out. They have a lot of class. This guy has been caught several times before impersonating other career professionals as well. The last place I would want to be is in front of two pissed off Marines while I was attending a funeral impersonating a Sgt Major getting compliments from the attendees for my service all while boasting my metals for valor.

Back to the subject at hand.. I am a vet and I am appalled by the candor and obvious lack of respect for the men and women who have worn that uniform, I may be a former Marine, and not Army, but i am horrified that someone has the kahones to purportrate a crime like that. Then people here getting mad about calling the scumbag out. I would call someone out and make sure they are a known scumbag and walking advertisement for birth control. I lost too many brother and sisters in arms to let a wanna-be dirt bag like this pose as an American service man and get away with it.
Don't hate the fact the Marines are calling him out, hate the fact the "D"bag playing grown up soldier and I'm sure this isn't the 1st time he has done it.

You don't have to have served to get this. I was blessed with wretched eye sight and a promise that I would end up working on the procurement end if I did join because of my skills. So I settled for making the equipment as best as I possibly good for the guys at the "pointy end".

Unfortunately, there are some who don't get it. There's great appreciation for those of you who make gear for use on the "pointy end". :salute

Wrong. I never served and volunteer for the Michigan Patriot Guard and also for the Freedom Center at Detroit Metropolitan Airport shuttling stranded Vets all over the Tri-State Area. Don't lump all civilians into the same ball of wax.

Also wrong. If you've never walked in those shoes, you'll never fully understand. Yes, you can appreciate the service of those who have. That is greatly appreciated! :salute
