Captain Carl Dale; Canadian Phony

| January 29, 2014

Captain Dale

I guess our colder northern cousins (well not this month, they’re probably warmer than me this morning) are little bit miffed at this fellow. He claims that most of his service time was spent advising US troops, because, you know, we ain’t that bright and there aren’t enough Americans who can teach things like jumping from aircraft and flying helicopters. And he’s so cool that he’s a sniper helicopter pilot. I think I’d walk into battle if I knew my pilot was going to be firing his .50 cal. sniper rifle when he was supposed to be, um, piloting. But this one came from Scotty who got an email about Derring-do Dale here;

1. He claims to have served in the Canadian military, but when challenged, he states that nobody has heard of him in the Canadian military because he was “on loan” to the US 101st Airborne and served with them for most of his term of service.

2. he claims to be a sniper, and wears the patches on his CAV vest, but two instructors who have served with the Canadian military for years have never heard of him

3. Last year he claimed to be serving under a “Queen’s Order” and was on loan to the US Military, assisting a Colonel Baker at 29 Palms with a top secret plan to conduct an air drop into a country “overseas” (by the way…he could tell me it was Pakistan…wink, wink)

4. He claimed that Colonel Baker was sending him top secret satellite photos for his review on his email account (an unsecured internet connection that he was pirating from his neighbor)

5. He often can be seen around town wearing a captain’s uniform, and at one point claimed to have been promoted and was, for a few weeks, wearing a major’s uniform, only to return to the captain’s uniform

6. He claimed that Colonel Baker sent a Blackhawk helicopter to Trenton to pick him up for an airdrop over 29 Palms — he was acting as an instructor to the US paratroopers (cause the US doesn’t have anyone who could do that). He told five people in Kingston that he left at 0700 hours, that it took two hours to get there, they did the drop, and he was home by 7:00 p.m.. When he was asked how he could be in California in two hours, he replied that Blackhawks are really fast and that they don’t have to fly on commercial air routes.

7. he claims that his first mission involved crawling on his belly for three days to get into position to snipe a “foreign general” in some unknown country, that he was not expected to return from the mission but that he did his job and he was a hero

8. He told everyone he was away for deployment last year on the aforementioned drop into Pakistan — either he is the biggest security risk that the Canadian/US military has ever encountered or he is, as we all now know, a pathological liar.

9. He also claims to have swiped a 50 caliber sniper rifle that he has hidden at his father’s home at Presqu’ile

10. He now works as a general contractor in Kingston and claims to be a licensed electrician, licensed plumber, licensed pipe-fitter and journeyman carpenter — he does not hold licenses in any of these fields that anyone can verify.

Well, the fact that he served with the US forces explains why most of the medals he’s wearing are US. He even has a CIB;

But, the Canadians at Commando.org are pretty upset about him, and I guess they’d know better than me about him.

Sadly, no shortage of this sort of thing either side of the border. With the establishment of a “Stolen Valour” site in Canada, I’m hoping that we can work together with the US organization to sort this crap out all the better.

We real Cantadians don’t take offence to that stuff eh. We know any day of the week a good beer and cheer would be shared by both sides. Rubbing is part of the territory!

either that or we’re too nice to be angry.

Keep up the good work Gents. Fuck this ass hat with a lawn dart.

Is there any legal recourse for what this guy is doing? He’s wearing a country’s uniform illegally, saying he has rank, which is illegal, wearing medals that are obviously not his, which I do believe is not legal as well. So…if they are not going to come and catch him with a big butterfly net, why aren’t the legal eagles tying him up enough to stop the promenades in uniforms?

I have seen Canadian Infantrymen with Ranger Tabs on their uniforms, I have even seen the odd few wera a Broze star with their medals and even knew one with USAF pilot wings, all of them were legit. I have never in 23 years and three trades in the Canadian Forces seen anyone wear a CIB on their uniform. I also do not recall knowing anyone who wore the Maroon Beret with the Red Leaf wings.

This POSER Carl DALE is a looser from the get go, do not be making fun of us Canucks, you u all’s have more poser’s running around Merica than we do. Let’s get to the point he Carl DALE is an asshole, I am sure his day in court is coming soon, he will be judged by 12 soon and hoping he gets some time in a cell with a real soldier.
