Taco Bell busts phony at MyServicePride
You’ll notice the ad to your left from MyServicePride for buying stuff decorated with your awards that you earned from your service. Every time he advertises with us, I buy something. But you can see that it could attract phonies, too. Our buddy, Bob Massie, who runs the joint, sent Taco Bell after one such fellow who wanted a display with the following mess;
The guy, Taco calls him “Super Marine”, is a used car salesman. So Taco started researching the guy and couldn’t find anything about him so finally he called Super Marine.
I let him tell me about how he was a POW, got all these awards and retired as a Marine Corps full Colonel after 31 years. There was a Linkedin profile for that name listing every op that the Corps has fought in since Vietnam. I mean this guy claimed it all.
The funny thing is as I spoke to him, I ran down each op that was on this profile (no photo though) and he confirmed Yes to them all and here they are for you to see along with all of his MOS’s down below.
About a week after that phone call, I phoned again to put him on notice to take down the Linkedin site or provide proof of service. He said he would. Well, he didn’t and a few days later I called him at his car dealership in NJ where he is a used car salesman. He was actually very surprised that I had tracked him down at his work and asked “How did you find me here?” I replied “it’s called the internet you dipSh**”
Mr. Super Marine didn’t like my approach and denied all of it. I thought that was funny since I taped the whole conversation.
You can hear the recordings at Bob Massie’s blog. Neither Taco nor Bob give the guy’s name, but I don’t mind. He claims to be a retired Marine Colonel Thomas Johnson. His LinkedIn profile is still posted, but it’s locked up – an intelligence officer who is undercover as a used car salesman in Union, New Jersey.
Taco sent one of his agents to his place of business to see if he has these lies posted in his office, apparently he doesn’t. That’s probably why he was trolling MyServicePride, to spruce up his office with his phony finery.

the link in the ad isn’t working, but the one you put into the blog post is
If you click on the picture in the ad, it works, but the link not so much. The ad is sent to us by the advertiser.
Per the usual script, this POS is probably a USMC bootcamp reject who now wants to relive the career he never had and be the Smedley Butler of his generation…
Hey, he just wants it so he can “honor” veterans who’ve served…….
‘tard
Kudos to Bob Massie for not just taking the assholes money and forgetting about it!! Willing to bet there are a few “businesses” out there who do not give a damn who they sell wha tto.
Pussy……

Damn things are popping out of the woodwork like cockroaches these days!!
I know everyone will be just shocked, shocked to hear this – but there’s no “Johnson, Thomas” listed on DoD’s list of returned POWs from SEA. In fact, no one from the USMC with the last name of “Johnson” is listed as being a returned POW from SEA.

There’s also no “Johnson, Thomas” listed as having escaped from enemy captivity in SEA, either. In fact, no one with the last name “Johnson” is listed as having escaped from enemy captivity in SEA.
http://www.dtic.mil/dpmo/vietnam/reports/pmsea_escapee.pdf
He’s also not listed among those unaccounted for in SEA – in fact, no one with the last name “Johnson” is on that list, either.

Finally, there is no one with the last name of “Johnston” or “Johnstone” who served in the USMC that was ever MIA or POW in SEA but was later accounted for (escaped, returned, remains recovered or returned).

Bottom line: this guy is simply a lying bastard – which we all knew the second we saw that absurd rack. He was never a POW. Period.
Then again, he is from north NJ, just west of NYC. We see lots of idiocy from that region. Must be something in the water.
Do you suppose any of those “POWs” were actually incarcerated at Long Binh Jail?
My favorite line from Taco’s brilliant entry:
“I mean, I should have been eating in a Chow hall named after this guy.”
Chow hall hell. After reading his Linked-In profile, they’re going to rename Camp Pendleton AND Camp Lejeune after this stud. Probably rename the mascot (Chesty XIII) after this guy. Or at least what Chesty XIII leaves on the ground….
Thomas Johnson……
I’m going to start posting this with every poser. 😀
Did you get that from Tosh.0?
Taco…just for that, I ordered another mug from you! Keep up the good work. Friggin’ hilarious…”should have eaten in a mess hall named for him”.
For those of you who don’t have a Linked-In account, here are his claims via cut and paste. Enjoy, but sorry about the length. Oh, and Ex-PH2, have fun with the translations. Summary I am a strategic and creative thinker, introspective, yet always decisive. I’m a builder of leaders and teams. I am a competent full-spectrum warfighter. The word “quit” isn’t included in my extensive vocabulary. “Quiters never win; and, winners never quit!” I’m skilled in governance, statesmanship, and diplomacy. I have a keen appreciation for (and indepth understanding of) cultural context and how to work effectively across it. I’m tenacious, fiercely loyal, and an incurable optimist. I am a third-generation US Marine who came out of the womb “thinking outside the box” and emersed in the principles of “task organization.” The leadership traits and principles that are inherent aspects of my persona, were drilled into my psyche before I ever raised my right hand and swore that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the lawful orders of the President of the United States and the lawful orders of the officers and officials appointed over me, according to regulations and US laws and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. 0311 Rifleman 8652 Reconnaissance Man, Parachute Qualified (NMOS) [now 0323] 8654 Reconnaissance Man, Parachute and Combatant Diver Qualified (NMOS) [now 0326] 2747 Linguist – Vietnamese 0302 Infantry Officer 8026 Parachute/Combatant Diver Officer 7208 Air Support Control Officer 2768 Linguist – Spanish 8221 Regional Affairs Officer, Latin America 8241 Foreign Area Officer, Latin America 2305 Explosive Ordnance Disposal Officer 2713 Linguist – Arabic (Egyptian) 2721 Linguist – Kurdish 8246 Foreign Area Officer, Southwest Asia 0284 Advanced Foreign Counterintelligence Officer 2711 Linguist – Afghan Pashtu 2722 Linguist – Persian 0286 Advanced Military Source Operations Officer 2791 Linguist – Russian 0288 Military Source Operations Officer 0290 Strategic Debriefing Officer Experience assigned to another agency United States Department of Defense July 2004 – Present (9 years 10 months)|Greater… Read more »
Oblig…..
1) WALLOTEXT!!!!!
2) TL:DR
3) No you can’t have a Ballduster McSoulpatch Memorial Stolen Valor Tournament Trophy, NOT YOURS
Well, cut and paste certainly does seem to be the way he built his linkedin profile…
All this and only a used car salesman?
At least all this BS will be easy to invalidate.
DAY-UM!! Forget the Scotts, let me put this high grade fecal fertilizer in my garden!
Interesting that he claims to have been at “Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB)” from June 2004 to June 2009.
Prior to 1 Oct 2010, JBAB didn’t exist. Before 1 Oct 2010, the activity to which he claims assignment from June 2004 to June 2009 was on an installation called “Bolling AFB”. Bolling AFB and NSA Anacostia merged on that date to form JBAB.
“So sirs, with my resume before you for your consideration, I feel I bring a lot to the table. Your table and mine. Therefore I look forward to the opportunity to sell used cars at your dealership. A flagship car lot among car lots with one of the best and most debriefed inventories of used cars in town. Also I love your radio and billboard ads. So how ’bout it…minimum wage to start and a 5% commission on everything I move? What do ya say, huh, when can I start boys?”
He left out his membership in the Radio Shack Battery Club, and that last night he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.
My money says that anyone who was linked (on LinkedIn) to this high speed mofo is most likely a poser as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is a member of a consortium, if ya know what I mean.
I have to say his Russian and his German are pretty close, but i’m sure he was just plagiarizing from a book.
Ich spreche deutsch!
Ya Govarite pa ruskiy!
give me this cocksucker’s business phone and I will act like i’m interested in buying a car of course I will convey this message in one of his claimed “tactical languages”.
Also I think it should be mentioned that the language is called Farsi not Persian and Pashto not Pashtu.
Also He only claims Operation Desert Storm but on his service pride chart he is claiming 1 silver campaign star on his South West Asia Service Medal which would only be 1 bronze campaign star. Only three were authorized for that ribbon.
His resume is somewhat impressive if only an eight of it was true. He did some research and plagiarized a lot, but more importantly he stole so much.
I’m not even going to get on the subject of his 14 CARs, his 7 BSM w/V device, or his holy fuck batman 8 Purple Hearts. Even at the very least I think he really fucked up on his campaign awards. His Kosovo Service Medal is lacking a campaign star. Also last time I checked the Kosovo NATO Medal cannot be worn with a NATO Medal for service from FYROM= That is Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. but that is just what I remember.
fuck this guy!
Wow, a Real Live “BORG”
Really I’m impressed. He can speak 7 languages and has a Masters and still sells used cars. Gee…must be undercover, working some kind black ops for the Girl Scouts or Capt Crunch. This is one bad…..MoFu.
He IS the most interesting man in the world – NOT.
Got him beat – here is BULLSHIT in eight languages:
Baliverne – French
Scheiß – German
שטויות, בבל’ט, זיבולי מוח – Hebrew
pissprat – Norwegian
ерунда – Russian
skitsnack – Swedish
בולשיט – Yiddish
Bzdury – Polish
throw in the Spanish mierda, Czech hovno, Irish shyte, and I always heard French was ‘merde’.
I would say in Russian it is бык дерьма.
With a rack that big he’d need an outrigger just to stand up straight. What a dickwad!
Taurus USMC 0302 I was thinking the same thing, where’s his kick stand?
He must be really tall, else that rack would run over the shoulder and half way down his back.
I was gonna chime in, but honestly….. I got nothin’.
Man’s a loon, for sure.
Seems qualified to sell used cars.
Has anyone forwarded his résumé to All Points Logistics yet?
He’s a spy! A spy I tell you.
With a rack like that he must be from Norkieland.
Where’s the ribbon that says “Continued on next mug?”
LtCol(not)PhD(not) Chevy is going to be pissed off that this guy out bullshitted him. But then, he’s not a Mesna.
Just wondering if anyone got a picture of this clown??
Reminds me of the character in True Lies that was trying to get Ahnolds woman. Too bad the same can’t happen to this guy that happened in the movie.
Thank you sir. That was perfect.
Time trot out my comment earlier this week from the Round Marine thread, lifted from I’m Gonna Get You, Sucka!; How does he go the bathroom with all that shit on?
41 awards if I counted right…please give this dipshit 41 lashes with a strap of freshly cut leather….with rusty nails and barbed wire on it.
I love all the verbal pauses when he’s telling his POW fairy tale. Ever two seconds he stops, ummmm, speaks another sentence, ummmmmmmm. Of couse we here, “ummmmmm”, but in his head he’s making it up as he goes. Of course aside from Bill Paxton, let’s not forget Jerry Partain at Southern Chevrolet in Alexandria, Louisiana, who also used/uses a phony POW story to help with his car sales.
Lance Corporal Underground scuttle is this war machine tried to get his legit stack at the big px but their inventory wasn’t large enough so he was forced to get it done online.
What a patriot war machine. Ironman 4 is about this guy I just know it.
Wow. Total time to have a chance at achieving Limited Working Proficiency (2/2 on the DLPT) in those language (since he says DLI), 7.5 years. I’ll by that for a dollar.
“…и всегда “быть” больше, чем другие воспринимают вас быть.”
“…and always “be” more than others perceive you to be”
That about sums it up, dips**t.
Gents,
That is the funny thing about linkedin. I emailed people who “Recommended” him explaining what was going etc and to a person 100%, they said something similar to “I actually don’t know him. I saw he was friends with someone else I knew so I accepted his request. After looking at his profile, I guess I should review folks who are linked with me more closely.”
I really don’t hold that against them, because I’ve been guilty of hitting endorse all four type thing in the past. I have folks on there who wouldn’t know me if my life depended on it. I only use it as a source since some folks will post some crazy stuff on there that we use later on.
There is about 25 minutes of tape on this guy and I gushed all over him as he spewed his madness. Years ago I did the same to a real Gunny who had served in VN but decided to inflate his record (Gunny PJ James) and acted like Joe CivDiv who didn’t know jack about the Marine Corps. He spewed so much garbage and the more you praise them, the more madness there is on the tape. It’s like a fire and they can’t stop telling the lies. Pretty fun.
S/F
Taco
I can’t help but wonder if Dr. Dennis Chevalier USAF Lt. Col (Ret.) ever ordered a drool cup from this fine company. Would it be worth an inquiry?
This sums it all up.
