William Hume Harrison; phony Beirut bombing survivor

| March 6, 2018

Our partners at Military Phonies share their work on this fellow, William Hume Harrison who claims in social media discussions to have been a survivor of the Sunday, October 23, 1983 bombing of the US Multi-National Force barracks in Beirut, Lebanon as a member of the 1st/8th Marines of the 24th MAU. He also claims seven years of service in the US Marine Corps;

He was indeed in the Marine Corps, but he enlisted months after the Beirut bombing;

Private Harrison joined the Marine Corps on May 29, 1984. His Recruit training was held at Parris Island SC. His graduation date was Sep. 19, 1984.

He went from there to Marine Corps Base(MCB) Camp Lejeune NC. for training to become a Motor Vehicle Operator. MOS 3531.

Pvt Harrison was transferred to Camp Pendleton CA on Jan. 10, 1985 where he was assigned to the 1st Battalion 11th Marines as a Heavy Equipment Operator. He was later temporary assigned to the 1st Battalion 9th Marines with the same MOS.

Pvt Harrison was discharged from Marine Corps on Nov. 3, 1986 as a Pvt. E-1.

Lying piece of shit caught with shit in his mouth. Good going fuckhead, you just pissed off the entire brotherhood of honorable Marines; good luck with that…

Not just Marines, CH. I was awarded an Expeditionary Medal for flying in support of USS New Jersey, which was busy tossing Volkswagen sized shells into Lebanon at the time. The barracks bombing hit us all very hard.

William Hume Harrison, welcome to Google- the interwebs never forget.

I was at Lowry AFB as a Marine during the attack on 10/23 going to my A school. We tried to transfer to the 0300 MOS in mass when we heard about the bombing and got our asses chewed but good.
I met some older rotor heads in Japan who where on the Iwo Jima when the Jersey barked. They told me it rocked the ship and scared the shit out of every Marine on board!!

More like dickless wonder, let’s not forget that he was thrown out as an E1.

The article on this clown reminded me that today I have some dog poop to remove from the back yard.

A better picture of him…don’t forget to send him some love!

I’m going to go ahead and say that the Tuck Rule comes into play with this one.

Not the Tom Brady Tuck Rule, but the Tuck Rule from “Silence of the Lambs.”

What a POS! How many guys claim to have survived that attack? The number has to be in the thousand by now. I was born in ’65 and that was too early to be in Beirut, so born in ’66 is a sure giveaway that he’s a phony. I had a friend that went Marines right after high school, and he was home on leave when the attack happened. Rumors spread around that he was KIA that day.

Them: “Did you hear? Bob was killed in Beirut this morning”
Me: “Uh, no. I saw him with his girl at The Charcoal Pit on Friday having burgers & shakes”
Them: “No, no, no…he’s dead”
Me: “No, no, no…we’re playing street hockey at Spring JHS at noon. You should come”

For years people would bump into him thinking he was killed that day. He ended up being load master/crew chief or what ever they call them on Marine C-130’s.

Mason

I was thinking the same. The phonies must outnumber the actual vets of the attack. It wasn’t a huge unit that got hit.

rgr769

Well it is only fair, the phony Viet of the Nam POW’s outnumber the real POW’s by a factor of about 20 to one or more. And that is only based on the over 13,000 who have falsely claimed to be Vietnam POW’s to the VA.

AnotherPat

rgr769: It ticks me off about the 13,000 + phony Vietnam POW who have illegal claims with the VA.

What ticks me off more is when the VA seems not to give a rat’s behind on correcting this, no matter how many times this situation has been brought to attention via news media. 😠

AnotherPat

Am also tired of finding obits of phony Vietnam POWs. Here is just ONE of them…trust me, there are others. Makes me wonder if this guy, Billy Ray Burns of Kentucky, had a false claim to the VA:

HT3: By my calculations, there are exactly 9 Marines who have not claimed presence at Beirut. I’m not counting those who were not Marines, including civilians.

Looks like the CB’s cleared dual parallel runways a top his head to receive multiple inbound C-130’s loaded with copious amounts of bullschitz and Midol for his monthly cramps!

Sounds like a little birdie that sits in a tree!

Man, people are blowing his FB UP!

Cum-guzzling pisspants thumb sucking booger-eating candyassed meat gazer, I wonder what he did to get thrown out of the USMC, bed wetting?

Frankie Cee

William Billy Harrison, Lyin’ Marine, will see his name up in lights, when each of us mention him in our comments. To get things warmed up, I left some love in a message, and posted on hie wide open Facebook page
When he sees his messages, he will read this:
“You fat, useless, piece of shit. You claim Beirut bombing veteran and you weren’t even in the Marine Corps when it happened. Every time you posers see me on your page you take the coward route and block me on Facebook.. You can hide from me here, but as soon as you do it, I will double down and nail your ass to the Gooooooooooogle wall. If anyone looks you up online they will be able to see what a shitbird you really are. Why don’t you go to this link and do your best to unfuck yourself?

I left some love on his page and he wasted no time either taking it down or blocking me.
HEY William Billy Harrison, YOU LIED about being a Beirut Marine!

Graybeard

And we have our first phony Beirut survivor of the year. I think, however, that the level of scumbaggery will entail a special multiplier to indicate the depths to which he has sunk.

In imitation of Dante’s 9 Levels of Hell, I am hereby declaring that for the 2018 TAH Stolen Valor Race there will be The 9 Levels of Stolen Valor Septic Tank.

Phony Beirut Bombing survivors are hereby assigned to the 9th level. Other determinations to follow.

Graybeard

I should amend the above to include:

William Billy Harrison, Lyin’ Marine is hereby assigned to the 9th Level of the Stolen Valor Septic Tank – from where there is no release and no surcease.

Wilted Willy

Graybeard, I really think this shitbird should be assigned to the dirt under the Stolen Valor Septic Tank? You can’t get lower than that? What level do you think my pos brother should be assigned to? Inquiring minds want to know??

Graybeard

Given the proverbial direction in which certain biological by-products roll on an incline, the 9th Level of the Stolen Valor Septic Tank is probably low enough.

An effluent version of Dante’s Inferno?

So the only bombing he survived

Is two-fer-one “car bomb” night at the local dive bar

Roh-Dog

I ran into a dude that claimed being an Infantryman at Beirut in a cigar store. smelled something fishy (maybe it was the leather vest and fingerless gloves)
Asked him what he does to commemorate the day, if there was a monument around, that I’d like to attend to pay my respects, the date had to be coming up, it being late October and all (it was the 27th).
He shut up, pretty sure he didn’t know the date of the horrible loss.

GoldenDragon

Every single Marine that was in during 1983 was in Beruit. Or at least that’s what these dorks make it seem like.

RRaider

Golden Dragon,
Sorry, but not ‘every single Marine’ was there. I was just transferred from 2 years at 1st MAW to 1st MarDiv at Pendleton. Days later was Grenada, then Beirut barracks a week or so thereafter. S/F.

IDC SARC

I think your sarcasm detector needs calibration 🙂

rgr1480

I think it blew up.

OWB

The really, really, really special ones were in both Beirut and Grenada.

IDC SARC

The 22d MAU was in Beirut and Grenada. 🙂

Daisy Cutter

I suspect OWB meant Beirut at the time of the bombing (23 Oct 83) and Grenada Invasion (25 Oct 83). There have been rare occasions when someone has claimed to have been in both incidents.

You are correct, however, that 22nd MAU was in Grenada (25 Oct 83) and then went on to Beirut (17 Nov 83).

OWB

OK. Not arguing unit assignments/missions at all – have no way of knowing except to take the word of other peeps.

Still, the most specialist PoS’s claim to have been both places in late October 1983. Only a few, but that’s what makes them soooo special.

BigHead Tom

Motor-T he was. Every school in the Marine Corps threatens to make you Motor-T if you fail. It’s what kept me from failing out of 2841 skool.

AW1Ed

Sounds like the Navy threat of winding up running chocks and chains on a carrier flight deck.

Frankie Cee

It looks like William Hume Harrison has removed several of his recent posts, the ones that had comments about his phoniness.

AnotherPat

Frankie Cee: Thank you for leaving him some love.

By him deleting those comments, he is only showing proof of his distasteful lies and deception and he knows he is full of fecal matter unless he truly believes in his alternate reality world.

Let’s see him try to delete Google results on WILLIAM HUME HARRISON, Stolen Valor Thief, Phony Beirut Bombing Survivor.

Frankie Cee

By taking some time and scrolling his page, I found several commenters and sent each of them a message, linking this post and inviting them to come here for the truth.

Well done Frankie Cee😅

“POOF” goes the profile!

AF VET

Heartbreakers and Lifetakers … apparently, he was in Gunny Highway’s unit along with Stitch Jones and Lt Ring.

Carlton G. Long

My thoughts exactly. He also beat up Major Powers, pimp-slapped Staff Sgt Webster, gave Roy Jenkins what for in front of Aggie and everyone else at the bar, then stopped by The Globe & Anchor and, working in tandem with Sgt Major Chuzu, gave Little Mary a little sumthin’ sumthin’ to keep her axle greased.

Harrison just wanted to be a combat Vet without having been in combat. It’s easy and fun that way. Kind of like those who claim to have a disability without ever having it. Most vets would say the VA can have back their disability money if they could have back their health.

William Harrison,you suck

This guy rocked it out. 2 years active duty and never had to sew on a stripe. That’s $2.75 savings my friends.

Just An Old Dog

More than likely he had one or even two promotions, but he stepped on his crank.

Casey

Just how long was a standard contract for the Marines back then, anyway?

Dave Bratten

6 year contracts you had to do 3 or 4 active the rest inactive

William Hume Harrison, you piece of shit coward. Do you think that blocking me on Facebook will let you off the hook? I have messaged several of your friends, and heard back from a couple of them. You are on the Goooooogle wall of shame.

Discharged as an E-1.

Shitbag.

I just got this message on Facebook:
“Hello. You don’t know me but I am William Harrison’s ex-wife. I’ve read with interest the stories online about his fake military career. I don’t know who figured it out or who did the investigation but I wondered how long it would take for someone to put two and two together. Educate whomever you want but I would ask that you be respectful of our son. He knows nothing about any of this and I intend to keep it that way. Good luck.”
To which I replied:
“”Educate whomever you want but I would ask that you be respectful of our son.” “respectful”? In what way? Are you protecting him from the truth? How would I know who your son is? I live well knowing that nothing trumps truth, and as suggested by US Supreme Court Justice Roberts, regarding people lying about their military service, I will counter speech that is false with speech that is truth.”
She just followed up with:
“I have no problem with you telling anyone about the truth. I could have told you myself but my son is innocent. And by asking you to be respectful I am just asking that he not be involved. Anyone who can gather the information you have can also obtain additional information – including about my son. That’s all I’m saying. Don’t get your panties in a wad. I knew this day was coming for years and I’m surprised it took this long.”
