More phony soldier BS

Yeah, yeah, I know. The whole purpose of milblogs is to elevate the opinion Americans have of our military members…I’ve been lectured on that recently. Several times. However, our military members come from our own society. When our culture is sick, some of the members of our military – a very small percentage…less than .001% – are going to be bad actors.

When I was a NCO, one of our tenets was to never ignore a deficiency, whether it was low vehicle fluid levels, a dirty weapon, some doofus walking down the street in November with his uniform sleeves rolled up and his hands in his pocket or a cigarette butt on the ground.

Well, Jonathan Paul DeWald is my current cigarette butt on the ground. The other day I called him out along with some other members of the IVAW for lying on his profile at the IVAW website where he lied about his rank (for what it’s worth, his profile is gone from the IVAW website now, but brought to you through the magic of screen capture);

He’s never been a staff sergeant…ever. I was perfectly happy to leave it at that, but DeWald has gone absolutely batshit the last few days. He’s been sending threatening emails to almost everyone I know – Army Sergeant,  Skye…he even got into an email exchange with a real staff sergeant, David Bellavia. He went off on everyone except me. I wonder why? I know he gets off on pushing women around – that’s how we met. He started threatening my buddy/alter-ego, Robin at Chickenhawk Express back in February.

I went to Military.com and got what is publicly available there on “Buddy Finder” and they seem to think he’s a Sergeant E-5;

Back in February, the first time his gears slipped, someone did a Freedom of Information Act request on DeWald and here’s part of it;

Yeah, I know he’s going to threaten me with a lawsuit or drive the six hours from Fayetteville and yell at my house from the street or some other childish bullshit (he won’t shoot at me because he only qualified as a marksman – that means he only has 25/40 shot chance of hitting me. He is an expert at tossing training  hand grenades, though). I fully expect it, and frankly, I don’t care. Afterall he’s only a little bit obsessive;

As far as the lawsuit goes, he can’t sue me for posting publicly available material on the internet. Stand outside my house and shout at me, this post is just a sample of what I’ve assembled. Piss me off, keep threatening my friends, threaten me, I’ll post the rest of it. So far, any prospective employer that does a Google search and lands at this blog (it’s tenth in the search results of “Jon DeWald”) will seriously reconsider any thought of hiring DeWald.

So, DeWald, NOW we’re done.
UPDATE: Here’s Jon Paul Dewald’s DA Form 2 recording his assignment to the 41st Field Artillery Brigade in Babenhausen, Germany.

Here’s John Phillip DeWald’s Facebook page where he lists his assignment to the 41st Field Artillery Brigade in Babenhausen, Germany. Notice the Facebook page and the FOIA request list the same date of birth. Also notice on Jon Phillip DeWald’s Facebook page that he claims two months service in the French Foreign Legion – Ha!

It’s absolutely amazing that these two guys lived such parallel lives and never met. They were probably laying next to each other in cribs at the maternity ward and didn’t know each other existed until this blog brought them together – just another service we provide at This Ain’t Hell.

The evidence has proved good enough for POW NET to add DeWald to their list of phonies;
