Stephen Sanders; phony Green Beret

| May 5, 2018

Our Partners at Guardians of the Green Beret share their work on this fellow Stephen Sanders who claims in his campaign for mayor of Lubbock, Texas to have been a special forces trained supply guy;

He was stationed at Fort Bragg with the 27th Engineer Battalion, of the XVIIIth Airborne Corps but he wasn’t even parachutist qualified;

The Guardians called him and he stuttered his way through an interview;

All his bayonetts are cock shaped.

Skidmark

See how things can get confusing real easy? He really meant to say he’s an Expert in “Cream Filled Bayonets”, he wasn’t a “Green Beret”, but rather prefers a “Puree of Bayonet Juice” while he wears a “Green Shirt”.
Hope that clears up any confusion y’all may have. YW.

Combat Historian

Another Flemron Dickey wannabe, and he can’t even cook…

…Oh, I forsee this one just getting better and better and better…

Roh-Dog

FFS. how about, “As a 92Y I’ve learned and excelled at accountability which earned me the honor to serve some of the best Warriors in our military.”
But that first clause would have to be true…
Words are hard as f**k.

Non Cedo Ferio

I drove truck in support of SF during OIF 1. Also during FXTs stateside. You know what that makes me ? An 88M who was supporting many missions. A few happened to be high speed units. Just because I’ve driven Rangers around don’t make me a Ranger. This cat knew exactly what he was doing.

Non Cedo Ferio

Slight amendment. I was a 14T tasked out to 5th group in 03. In case anyone was wondering about a clearance. In the interest of transparency. Became 88m later on

Ballad of the Green Bidet

Dedicated to Stephen Sanders, fake Green Beret

Faking assholes, like this guy,
The fat slobs, who always lie.
Men who failed in every way,
Try to steal the Green Beret.

Unearned bling, on sunken chests,
Doo-rag and dog, check out the vest!
One hundred times, they’ll boast today
“Believe me man, I’m a Green Beret!”

Blowing winos, at bus stops.
Sporting Medals, like stage props,
He never earned it, but he’ll say,
“Look at me, a Green Beret.

The Internet, has found him out.
Gone his name, and his clout.
His own shit, upon his tray,
Served to him, a Green Bidet.

Comfort dog, at his side.
Shiny HD, for his ride.
He will pose, another day,
Because he earned, The Green Bidet

E-bay wings, upon his chest,
Trying to look, like America’s Best,
One hundred men, he’ll blow today.
B’cause Stevie is, a Green Bidet.

Man that sings!

Nice reference! Hey, I just post it special for Green Beret fakes- the TAH members mentioned are the authors and get the credit. I’ve made some edits as needed to personalize it to the specific faker, and arrange the verses for better flow. Sadly, there are really no comparable songs for the other “special” folks.

A Proud Infidel®™

Eats his boogers every day,
Swishy- walks just like he’s gay.
Runs his mouth most every day
That is him, a Green Bidet.

AW1Ed

Added, but don’t make this a two-pager like the MoI.

*grin*

Can’t help it sometimes whether I have either a beer or a cup of Joe in front of me and I get a wild hair up my ass…

Hack Stone

I bet that he doesn’t have the highly coveted and rarely awarded Precious Metals Recovery Expert Badge.

A Proud Infidel®™

He looks like a door to door Kirby Vacuum Salesman.

HMC Ret

I was the precious metals recovery Chief for a large radiology department, years ago when film was still used. When silver was at about $48 an ounce, there were times I was moving upwards of 500+ troy ounces to the supply department safe. Never tempted me, though, b/c I looked better in khaki than whatever the boys in the slammer were wearing.

Doc Savage

I saw SF soldiers once or twice up close…..even held a green beret in my hands; know what that makes me?

Still just a medic.

If you cannot be happy with, and take pride in what you did, no amount of lying or bullshit will ever make up for your insecurities.

Ret_25X

there are some jobs in the Army that no one pays attention to unless things get screwed up.

Supply, Commo, and MI can be like that.

I had signaleers on FOBs around Iraq that the BCT commanders did not even know existed. Until an outage stopped them from being on Facebook or youtube….

This is the greatest thing about the support world. You can be critical to every mission in the battlespace without anyone really seeing it.

Deckie

I work now with a retired 88K. On top of being the only person I have ever met who worked in that MOS (and our meeting being the first time I had ever even heard of it) his pride in doing something both unique and largely unseen within the Army world made him proud of his job.

I’ll also add the man is a brilliant boat handler and navigator, so my hat is off to the instructors in that MOS.

SFC D

Well said! If we do our job right, we’re invisible. I’ve seen your example over and over. SIPR is out, nobody cares. E mail is intermittent, not a big deal. But let one high ranking staffer lose his yahoo, and everyone loses their shit.

26Limabeans

That tie does not go with that shirt.
Nothing goes with that shirt.
Bile Green Bidet

Ret_25X

it is the perfect color for him…

A Proud Infidel®™

He OUGHT to have a muffler for that shirt!

RGR 4-78

When life gives you limes, wear it as a shirt.

Back in the day – supply clerks in a Group wore the Green Beret

IDC SARC

ermahgerd…flashback

I was in a hangar once doing pre-jump and I saw a pregnant LBFM wearing captain’s bars and a Green Beret. I can only imagine the angst that long tabbed guys had back when everyone assigned was wearing the beret.

Combat3c0

So does that mean that just because I took care of an Air Force PJ with a shattered tibia and shattered fibula I’m a PJ by extension? Cool! ROFLMAO!

A Proud Infidel®™

I drove past some kids at Band Camp, can I call myself a Musician now?

Roger in Republic

I jumped on a static line once, at a skydiving center, I guess that makes me a Paratrooper. At least for political campaigns.

Mason

One week into basic training and 9/11 happens. This guy then ETSs as a E-1 less than two years later. His dedication to service speaks volumes. Nothing like enlisting in a time of peace and tucking tail and running when the war starts. And then to brag about his derring-do?

FOAD Stephen Sanders. You are a valor-less poser, phony, and fake. I’ll go out on a limb and say you were the biggest blue falcon in your unit too!

Perry Gaskill

Sanders is expert with a bayonet? I’ll see the bayonet and raise him a sharpshooter with the cavalry saber. Neener-neener, Steve…

A Proud Infidel®™

I’LL see that and raise you an Expert Bugler Badge!!! *shit eating grin*

” I had a chance to get my ranger scroll/ when I completed jump school/ and I opted out/ because I knew I had epilepsy.”

That’s a lot of BS in just one sentence there, Sandy Stevie. Maybe you can tell us more about this expert bayoneTT qualification, in which your “epilepsy” was not an issue. (All though if true, might have been fun to watch.)

AW1Ed

That caught my eye, too. I wasn’t aware the Army accepted epileptics.

/sarc

IDC SARC

No service accepts anyone with a seizure disorder and those that get them after signing on ore discharged or medically retired depending upon the circumstances.

3/10/MED/b

I was 99% sure of that, but I have been out for a while. Thanks for the confirmation. So, he lied at MEPS, or lied during his DEP time, or lied about having said disorder at all. (Really, we need pick that one out?) Shitty thing to lie about, when a bunch of folks who want or wanted to serve can’t or couldn’t due to epilepsy or other medical conditions.

Where is that Bayonett Expert Badge? To Medals of America!! I want one, too.

1610desig

That shirt and tie combo gave me a seizure

A Proud Infidel®™

He DOES kinda dress like a wannabe Break Dancer…

HMC Ret

“All though if true, might have been fun to watch.” Damn, I think I blew snot ten feet when reading that. I can just imagine an epileptic having a seizure while holding a bayonet. That is kick-in-the-gut funny.

For Fuck Sakes!! Go eat a DICK you lying POS! I have great respect for the hard charging support troops assigned to Group. SFODA’s could not make mission without them. Stephen Sanders you were never assigned to a Special Forces Group and your 3 TS missions were undoubtedly on Call of Booty.

AW1Ed

Same in Naval Aviation, which requires working aircraft, and working aircrew. That doesn’t happen in a vacuum; without the expert support provided by the ground crews those missions simply wouldn’t occur.

Tony180A

AW1Ed one team one fight! Take care of your support troops and they will go the extra mile taking care of you. Early 90’s my ODA was part of a hub and spoke FID mission in Kenya. We would get a weekly airdrop resupply bundle from the AOB. One of the resupply bundles included what we initially thought was 4 large coffee cans, turns out it was 2 cans of freeze dried sirloin steaks and 2 cans of freeze dried jumbo shrimp with a note thanking us for letting a few guys from the messhall go to the range with us.

It would probably take Claw’s expertise looking up the NSN for that. Who knew that was even in the system lol

AW1Ed

I was “raised right” as a helo Light Airborne Multi Purpose System (LAMPS) Aircrewman. A shipboard LAMPS Det was four “O” pilots, two Aircrew, and about a dozen maintainers of various specialties. When the bird was in the hangar I was all over it- helping the jet mechs with engine stuff, the trons trouble-shooting the electronics, trying not to bleed too much from sheet metal cuts (thanks Airframes!), daily/turn-around inspections with the Plane Captains, and more. It showed my appreciation for what they did and made me a better, safer Aircrew. And quite possibly saved my life.

Sparks

What a dick! I can’t imagine he made it out of junior high much less high school except through social promotion. The good folks of Lubbock, Texas should know their Mayoral candidate is hard pressed to speak English without Ebonics and admits he can’t write for shit. How did he ever complete the application to be a candidate? I think he must have found a sharp fifth grader and had them fill in the form for him, since he is so obviously too fucking dim to remember to breathe in and out regularly. Goes to show us that anyone who can sign their fucking name can run for office. Even an illiterate, lying ass hole like Stephen Sanders. Fuck you Stephen Sanders, up, down and sideways you shit stain you!

1610desig

The only way this imbecile will win in Lubbock is if the United States imposes post-civil war “reconstruction” again….

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Oh you guys are so dumb!

What he meant to say was, “a pretty pink beret would go fabulously with my lime green shirt.”

Green Thumb

What a tool.

DJ Smooth…..

sgt. vaarkman 27-48th TFW

You got this guy wrong, he wanted a green beret to match his green shirt….silly people

Ex-PH2

Geezo Pete, this guy is truly dumber than a box of melted ice cream.

Hondo

Yo, Sanders – here’s a little message from someone who was actually assigned to one of the SF Groups in a support role: FAQ-U.

And regarding that shirt in the top pic, this seems apropos.

rgr769

One year and almost 10 months active duty and he leaves the Army as an E-1 with a supply MOS. I am betting there was some dickstepping and non-judicial punishment involved in his service as a nasty leg REMF who couldn’t hack the military. He started out well; made it through Basic at Relaxin Jackson. Then the wheels came off. His “secret missions” must have occurred behind the dumpster at the nearest truck stop.

A Proud Infidel®™

More likely Entertainment Missions at Brucie’s Bath House (Entrance in Rear).

Anybody that would go out in public rocking a green shirt and striped tie like that must be a stone cold death dealer

26Limabeans

Guy will demand a recount.

HMC Ret

Sanders: How the hell is it possible to only get 400 votes? Could it be your dishonesty was discovered?

And BTW, where is the battery pack for that shirt and tie installed? Sunglasses should be required prior to talking to you if you dress that way often.

rgr769

Yes, he really kicked it in the election. Rec’d a whopping 3.58% of the votes cast. It looks like his political career is going to be as wildly successful as his military service.

A Proud Infidel®™

He couldn’t even get laid in a Women’s Prison with an ounce of cocaine and a $100 bill taped to his forehead.

Casey

You better burn that shirt…
