Revisiting Joseph B. Cryer the Chippendale SEAL

| May 7, 2013

Hondo sent us this video from Don Shipley after Shipley talked to Joseph B. Cryer last year (recording folks without their knowledge in Maryland is illegal ask Linda Tripp);

The video reminded me of how much I hate this guy. Not only is he telling people that he was in a special killer mission in Libya in 1986 (where he says he killed 77 people in four days, or something) he actually applied to and got 100% disability from the VA because of the PTSD he caught in Libya, ya know, killing 77 people will do that to you. I can’t tell you how I know this, but Cryer was denied disability the first time that he applied for it, so he shopped around until he found a doctor who believed that he was recruited out of a video arcade directly to a SEAL Team without BUD/S and boot camp. Yeah, that’s the story he told.

When I talked to him on the phone, he stuck to his story and the only thing that he apologized for was talking about his secret-assed mission to Libya in Facebook. He tried to convince me that it was true, like a true sociopath. I put TAH HQs on Google Earth just so Joe could find me and make good his threats to correct my behavior. Of course, he’s a no show so far.

For more than two years, this guy has been my white whale. I’ve tried to get the VA’s OIG to investigate him. The records of his deceit are there in the VA, if only they look at them. So that’s more than two years he’s been collecting disability checks from the VA for a fantasy. And it just burns my ass that the fricken VA won’t get off their collective ample ass and prosecute this clown and start paying someone who deserves the money instead of this sociopath. Anyway, here are his records for your viewing pleasure.

And meanwhile, REAL vets with REAL needs get shoved aside for the sake of this phony fuck.

Until this guy gets hit by a truck, there is no God.

One a poodle turd, always a poodle turd!

– “We going to use zodiacs to attach to a beach on the 22nd when there is no full moon using sub machine guns and dark wet suits”
– “Oh! when are you coming back?”
– “Can’t tell you is classified”

Dude needs a “wall to wall” counseling session, on another note Don’s hair is epic

VA too lazy to get off their asses to bust this fucking phony. Another loser who will go into hiding. A news piece should be good enough to have VA come for him.

“he was recruited out of a video arcade”

He was the Last Starfighter.

This clown is a piece of work.

Unreal this turd is…

The true definition of weak sauce.

I’m just curious, do any of these people actually do anything more than threaten to sue? I see that card played a lot, “Oh I’m gonna sue!” but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone even starting the process against you or the POW network.

NHSparky

@8–if they have, I’ve yet to hear/see it. I had one Internet tough guy threaten to call the state police on me once on a local message board. I said, fine, here’s the number, and the trooper is charge is Sgt. So-and-so, tell him I said hello.

Then there was the Paultard who called the HR at my company and claimed I was “harassing” her. Yeah, that didn’t end well for her either.

But suing? Yeah, no.

@NHSparky Doesn’t surprise me. If they make it a legal issue then they’d have to pony up and produce the proof in a court of law. Part of me is just sad that they’ve never even tried. I mean this guy, for example, has managed to fool the VA, doctors, the press, and a host of other people. You’d think he’d have the testicular fortitude to try it in front of a judge.

I mean, a real Starfighter, er SEAL would.

Whatever you do, don’t drink the calamine lotion.

No, I don’t think I’d stick a dollar in his g-string. All you can see is his teeth. Probably means he stuffs.

HOW IN THE FLYING F$UCK CAN WE GET SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE THE VA IG?? CHRIST!!!

Just an Old Dog

The only other explanation is that he had another medical/ mental issue with the VA That WAS Service related. You can have a soup sandwich get hurt doing a field day or “catch the PTSD” after seeing a training accident and get a “bonafide” 100% VA pension.
He can go around flapping his soup coolers about who he was a SEAL/SF Recon Sniper and got shot 57 times. The stories that piss us off and whats in his VA record could be two different things.

Hondo

Just and Old Dog: as it says above, Chippendale-Boy’s first claim for PTSD appears to have been fairly recent; it was initially turned down; and he later went doctor-shopping until he found one that was sympathetic and gullible. He then resubmitted his claim and convinced the VA to rate him fully disabled. Given the totally absurd nature of Crybaby’s claims, IMO that timeline has the proverbial “ring of truth” to it.

Frankly, without him seeing combat I’m having a damn hard time buying 100% disability for PTSD period. While that theoretically could be true, but I don’t think I’ll buy it without seeing proof.

Those highly questionable claims by Cryer also do not explain his obviously fake ID which lists him as an O5 (I’ve seen photos of it; if it was on the old POW Network site we may have to see if Mary at POW Network will send the photo to us since she’s no longer maintaining that site). Crybaby left the service as an enlisted man. I would love to hear an explanation for that ID which does NOT involve fraudulent documents and/or baldfaced lying to someone criminally gullible on Cryer’s part.

this phony needs a serious encounter–where does he live

Combat Historian

Good God…I should go apply and get 100% disability from the VA for being “emotionally traumatized” after being rocketed and mortared in Iraq. That at least is more legit than what this stripper clown is getting his for…

Ex-PH2

He’s getting into politics. Someone please stop him.

A Proud Infidel

#3, Lost, YES, if that turd was in my neck of the woods, I’d thoroughly enjoy giving him a good “Wall-to-Wall” session, I’d treat him like a cheap doormat with Jane Fonda’s picture on it!
Senior Chief Shipley’s hair could whip ’em all in less time than it takes for lightning to strike!

Flagwaver

This just pisses me the hell off. Real vets who might need this money to survive are jumping through hoops and fighting through red tape to get a measly amount and having to spend years to get it raised. And this ass monkey gets it for doing absolutely dick!

Sorry for my language.
