John Louis Woodward; Vietnam phony
Meet John Louis Woodward who has a fascinating story to tell about how he was with a secret Army unit. According to Woodward, in December, 1972 he was sent as a Ranger in the secret unit known but to God as the “Gundog Team”. Here’s his story;
I guess the main problem, among many, with his story is that he was in AIT at Fort Leonard Wood, MO in December 1972 according to his 2-1;
And, oh, another problem is that he never served in Vietnam, through no fault of his own, but that doesn’t justify the crazy-assed Gundogs fantasy;
But he was selected to represent real Vietnam veterans when he laid a wreath at the Tombs of the Unknown Soldiers in Arlington, the filthy hippie f*ck;
You can read more about this smelly hippie scumbag at Scotty’s place. He’s an embarrassment to every veteran, just by his appearance alone. I hope he chokes on his scraggly hair in his sleep.

And yet if we beat him smart, we’re the bad guys?
Monkyazz has a big brother to look up to.
He looks like Tommy Chong’s illegitimate twin brother.
“Dave’s not here, man.”
“Hey, it’s me – Dave. I got the stuff. Let me in.”
“Dave’s not here.”
Does anyone else recall their first time? By first time, I mean meeting a poser? Mine was October 1981. I just graduated from Parris Island about three days prior, and I was in a bar with my brother in South Jersey. This guy comes up and says he was a SSgt in the Marine Corps, and he had seven Purple Hearts. I asked him how many tours did he do in Vietnam. “I wasn’t in Vietnam. I was a Drill Instructor, and every time a recruit would drop a hand grenade on the range, I would pick it up and throw it, getting wounded.” His platoon must have been comprised of those guys you see on the infomercials who can’t work a Phillips screwdriver without impaling themselves or pour spaghetti into a colander without getting third degree burns.
So anybody with a bullsh1t story can be at the wreath laying ceremonies representing the guys who were actually not full of sh1t?
Dudes like this should be made to work a few months for real wounded warriors….help some kids who have suffered actual physical and mental trauma from their wounds, not like this 4sshole who has pretend wounds and imagined scars….one of the first guys to get the PTSD it says in his bio…guess all that field radio mechanic work at Ft Leonard Wood is pretty stressful, what with needing new batteries all the time and such….
Pax, it hardly seems fair does it? A good 4ss beating is what this clown needs….
Nice to know the learned souls on the SCOTUS believe no victims result from this behavior….
“No, I AM DAVE. Now lemme in, I got the stuff.”
When I was in Airborne School (SEP 83), every cabby I met was a retired SF Sergeant major with 88 gazillion jumps, most of them combat.
Yeah, mine was at an open house air show at Glenview Naval Air Station, before Clinton sold it to a real estate developed.
I was walking around getting some nice images of the planes and the goings on and this shrot round guy asks me about my camera and where I learned photography. So I told him and he told me he was in Vietnam. I asked him when and he said 1978. So I asked him when he’d gotten out of jail, because it was against the law to travel to or stay in Vietnam in 1978. He gave me an odd look and walked away.
@7 you know what sucks Hack? Since finding this site about a year ago I am suspicious of everybody who tells me they were in now….never used to worry about it before or think about it….never realized there were so many people who were just lying all the time, still can’t understand why. This guy served honorably, which is more than most of the population…leave it at that and tell the truth and everyone thinks you are a good dude….must be a lot of people with a hole in their soul that need to fill it with something to make them seem worthwhile, too bad the something they always choose is always a lie. All the energy it takes to keep this kind of bullsh1t alive could have been spent doing some good work in his community, helping real wounded veterans or even donating his time to help the elderly infirm residents of his community….
What an 4sshole this guy is…
Sent Woodwards biographer at KTRA Caleb Beamis a note letting him know he was coming up on a decision point and encouraged him to take the high ground.
@11 – VOV, I generally feel the same way, but not because of this site. Usually, posers will tell stories of their exploits and derring-do to whoever will listen.
As far as this guy goes, he’s full of it. In the article written about him, it seems his “F” Troop was being over-ran, only to be rescued by a team of SEALS and Marines.
I’ve never fuggin’ heard of ANY Ranger needing to be rescued by ANYONE.
He’s a f’ng dipwad, had a run in with him when I was running around East Texas promoting GOE & E.U. I hope that Charles Watson, Sabine County judge(he is the county commissioner) finds out because he is in the right position to be able to legally do something about it. Sort of makes wonder how he’s gotten away with this crap too. The piney woods is chuck full of honorable veterans.
If someone falsely claims to be a radio repairman in the Marine Corps, would that technically be considered “stealing valor”?
“Yeah, man, we were deep in the shit. Literally. I was on a working party at the horse stables in 29 Palms, waiting for my electronics class to pick up.”
ONE of his many other lies he posted about himself on the Internet:
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_most_home_runs_hit_by_a_high_school_baseball_player_in_one_season
There. Fixed it.
Not really sure which is worse – this lying pos or the folks who decided that having something that looked like him laying a wreath at the Tomb even if he were legit, which obviously they couldn’t be bothered to verify.
Disgusting.
I bet that he will next claim that he took the title for most time on a teeter-totter from Bobby and Cindy Brady.
Is it just me, or does he remind anyone else of the crazy scientist in Independence Day?
Hey Woodward…you get a goddamn job by sundown or I’m shipping your ass off to military school with that goddamn Finkenstien-shit kid!
Son of a bitch!
Hm, this gentleman below has an inside curve on Johnson. Swiped from Scotty’s site. My name is Rebel…I gave this assholes information to the Stolen Valors most dedicated finders of liars, MARY. I got PFC James M. Ray RI POW-MIAs bracelet as a 13 year old runaway. I grew up with Jimmy on my wrist. I wrote letters from the California Youth Authority to the Military, where I was sentenced to for running away to San Francisco to March against the Vietnam War. Our friends, sons, brothers etc were coming home in body bags. My papa was a Amsterdam Freedom Fighter in the Netherlands. He started telling me stories about a war that one insane idiot wanted Jewish people dead. He hid, fed, smuggled any Jewish person that needed help. I wanted to be like him, but getting to Nam would be a problem. I did the next best thing. PROTEST. I was released on 12-31-1970 two months shy of my 16 the birthday. I continued my search for any information on Jimmy. I found out he escaped three times and was awarded the Silver Star. He was also promoted to SSGT for his dedication to escape. He was also awarded the Purple Heart for injuries during his capture. I married, had children and Jimmy was always there. When the computer age came I used it to search for more information. Then the FOIA was passed and I got nothing. Every page was blacked out with very few words. I joined every website that contained the words Vietnam, POW-MIA, Veteran Biker Clubs, Veterans Tributes, etc. That’s when JOHN L. WOODWARD emailed me. He never said a word about Jimmy. Via all my information he made up this unbelievable bullshit story. In 2010 he said “Rebel what I tell you is so classified you swear on your papa, you’ll never repeat a word”. Gundog, I swear as a Paralegal (lawyers assistant) I will never reveal a word. That’s when he made up the story of being in a Elite Special Op Army Ranger Gundog Team F so classified they answered to… Read more »
It never ends.I cannot figure out crazy…but to lie, impersonate, then place a wreath at one of the military’s most hallowed grounds is mind-boggling.
I think charges of some kind need to be drummed up on this whack-job.
@16. “Drafted by the OLKLAND A’s…”
Hilarious! I guess he was so busy hitting home runs that he skipped Spelling and Geography.
There is a Judgement Day when we all have to give an account of how we used the blessings we were given. I really feel sorry for the posers. They lied to so many. They’ll probably end up in the Devil’s Hot Tub with certain politicians and certain TV preachers… And they won’t like the brimstone or the company.
My first encounter was with a guy who claimed to be a wounded veteran former POW, etc, etc. His organization wanted to borrow some Duece and Half trucks from the DIBARTY for a Veterans’ Day Parade. He also wanted drivers. I declined his request without even forwarding it to “Higher”. Recent directives ended any equipment loans to non-military units.
Found out later he was a fake and his organization was a sham. He talked a good story, but a local news rag uncovered his fraud.
Take him and Ferris, a canoe, a 90 foot waterfall that drops into a 6 inch pool with a heavy concentration of jagged rocks and massive boulders and push. F him and the V. Lenin Graduate School of Old Commie Shitbags he graduated from.
Crap. That’s “DIVARTY”, not “DIBARTY”. Losing my fine motor skills and need some more coffee. I freely admit that my military service was less-than-stellar.
Skinny damned critter, ain’t he? I’d just stick a feather up his ass and use him for a dart!!
I’m also trubled by the reporter who apparently believed that only Presidents and heads of state have laid wreaths at the tomb of the unknowns. Heck, it seems every time I go down there, a wreath is being laid by a troop of boy scouts. Doesn’t anybody check ANYTHING any more?
This fuckhead needs his ass kicked… And hard too !!!
This is an insult to all of us that served during that era. I could not imagine doing something like that. Hell, I feel guilty when I tell people I was in during the Vietnam War but went to Alaska. They all still say Thanks, but I tell them that the guys that deserve our thanks are the ones on the wall in DC and their families !!!
Lye. Wire brush. Scissors. Five minutes. Done.
@28 — “…use him for dart…” Heh. I am so stealing that.
Maybe, John Giduck will give him a job running the shovel armory.
At my Legion Post on the night of my b-day, it was getting a little drunk out and I thought I would embellish on my service record a little bit for a friend’s wife. She asked me what I did in the military and I said “no shit; there I was, getting pulled out of basic training to train as a door gunner on the space shuttle, because they saw some special potential in me”. I thought my buddy was going to choke on his beer.
Granted, I wasn’t as high speed as Gundog Millionaire, here, but it all worked out and I got my Space Shuttle Door Gunner badge!
@34 When I tell my story it relates to being at Ft. Benning and getting to go to Atlanta where the only women allowed in that city in 1978 were super models or hot chicks waiting to be supermodels….after all you can’t have your friends knowing that after 6 or 8 weeks of seeing only stinky camo painted dudes every woman looked damn good, there’s that automatic plus 5 every woman receives in that situation…thus all supermodels….
This POS probably watched BAT-21 and decided that the movie’s plot (based loosely on a real incident) would be his vehicle to claim his slice of the Vietnam Hero Pie. What a sorry-assed disgrace…
@15 – as someone that has been stationed at 29 Palms twice, you made me spew my cup of Joe this AM…ON MY MONITOR!!!
I sent Judge Watson an email:
Good morning, Your Honor,
I thought it would be appropriate to bring this to your attention, in case you weren’t aware of it. The link below is not “spam”, it is a blog run by a retired Army Sergeant First Class named Jonn Lilyea. One of the themes of the blog is “outing” those who have the nerve to pass themselves off as heroes in service to our country. John Woodward is one of those phonies:
http://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=36511
For whatever action you deem appropriate.
For all those who love videos that make fun of hippies, here is one that is funny as all get up.
It features DHS, police, Spanish with English sub-titles, drugs, violence against make-believe hippies, and mucho more!
Enjoy!
I think it’s be kinda cool to put an open flame next to that mop of hair!
Turd.

Why do they always look so dirtbag? Does it add to their self esteem as an “outlaw” or something? Get a freakin haircut dude!
You’d think the military or security teams would look up an ass like this to make sure their claims might be true. And Gundog team? What in the flying fuck is a gundog? It sounds like something you’d order at a Marine Corps run street fair or something.
As for posers, my first was at a bar frequented by National Guard and Police types on the same block as the PD and Armory. This idiot was laying on a sob story about having been a deployed vet to OIF. I was half listening as he was talking up some cute police rookie. And then he mentioned that he was in the Battle of Falujah.
For the record, MY unit was the unit to go into Falujah and pull out the Marines and SEALs when the shite hit the fan. Not me, but my unit at the time (C Co. 2/162 INF). So, I asked him a couple of questions regarding the battle that wasn’t official record, such as the suspected Iranian Regular sniper using the Mosque’s minaret to harass the troops in the school.
He said that he remembered the guy. I asked what happened to him. He said that another sniper took him out. BULLSHIT! So, in front of God, the patrons, the cute little rookie, and the retired cop bartender, I informed him the unit that went in, how many people they came out with, and that I personally knew the guys who went in.
The ass then claimed it was the second battle… but he got the cold shoulder from everyone in the bar and I got a free beer from the bartender.
Wow,I’ll bet him and old dilly dallas also jumped behind enemy lines dressed up as fag clowns.Doesn’t anyone fact check anymore? I though only heads of state laid the wreath at the Tomb?Dude needs a real had beat down.
His autobiography of service in Vietnam will be titled Batshit Crazy-21.
Setting aside the fact he’s a poser, I have to agree with RM3(SS). If you’re given a great honor (such as laying a wreath at Arlington or representing your service at an event) take some fuckin’ pride in how you’re going to look at that event. Get a fucking haircut, get a fucking suit and leave the fucking bandana (or your OG107’s or cammies) at home.
@47, then how could he play up the stereotypical ‘Nam veteran look?
Is sad that this dude fits what my family and other people I know think a Vietnam Vet looks like, nothing this phony, the reporter and the newspaper can do will fix that a phony was the first to lay a wreath …
Teh stupid is strong with this one, I hope couple of real rangers have a nice long and unforgettable wall to wall counseling session with him ..
There I was, 50,000 feet inverted in my Hook with a sling load. How do I know I was inverted, well my air medals were slapping me in the face. Both pilots had been taken out by an Iraqi nomad farmer with an old Enfield. Lucky shot had gotten them both right through the domes and their HGU-56/Ps were leaking blood and eyeball juice everywhere. (Must have been aiming at the PI’s lip-light!)
I found myself clutching for dear life to the soundproofing on the ceiling as twenty grunts sat upside down strapped to their seats, eyes the size of dinner plates…
I tortously crawled up to the companionway cabin and with a series of Judo kicks and Ninja slaps proceeded to input my mastery of the bird directly through the Thrust, Roll, Pitch, and Yaw ILCAS. I mean I was banging away on that poor DASH actuator as if there was no tomorrow.
Sadly as my masterful blows caused the bird to perform a barrel roll, somehow I must have hit a cannon plug that was not related to saving our butts. To my eternal chagrin, I had somehow punched the load. A mighty American Howitzer was traded that night for the lives of my lovely grunt passengers.
(Side note, the load evidentally landed on the shooter thus earning a confirmed kill which was promptly recorded in a passing Bradley Commander’s notebook.)
Luckily the barrel roll ended with a perfect four landing gear landing and the ramp bolts shattered under the impact. I nonchalantly strolled out the back of the bird jauntily swinging my Tether, while humming “I would do anything for love” by Meatloaf into the warm desert air…
