Valor Vultures
John Williams Adams Jr.; phony SEAL
Our partners at Military Phonies send us our last phony SEAL OF 2017, John Williams Adams Jr. As it happen so often these days, Mr Adams initially came to everyone’s attention bragging in social media; Hoping everyone forgot about his first attempt, he tried it again a few days later with similar results; He has […]
Stephan Holloway; still on the phony pony
We wrote about Stephan Holloway back in May when AverageNCO spotted a news story about him and his nine Purple Hearts. The NPRC wasn’t particularly helpful when they sent us two contradictory DD 214s for the same period. One said that he had 9 Purple Hearts, the other said that he didn’t. Both faded discharges […]
William Derek Church is not a Ranger
It has been three nearly four years since we busted William Derek Church for pretending to be a Ranger. We nick-named him “The Round Ranger” because of his shape (he’s in shape and round is a shape). He pretended to be a wounded retired paratrooper staff sergeant with time in combat. In reality, he had […]
Jimmy Nixon; needless embellishment
Someone sent us their work on this fellow, Jimmy Nixon, an investigator at Attorney Service of Louisiana, who claims that he was wounded five times in Vietnam after he was commissioned to 2d Lieutenant in the Marine Corps. He also claimed that he was sent to Vietnam and he was stationed there between 1966-1969. Well, […]
Kenneth Jozwiak, phony SEAL, phony Vietnam veteran

He claimed to be a Navy SEAL who served in Vietnam and was awarded four Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star. From the Justice Department; […]
Ralphie Ortiz; phony sergeant major SEAL
Someone sent us their work on this Ralphie Ortiz fellow. Ralphie, of Orlando, Florida, claims on his résumé to be a retired Army sergeant major; Sometimes, he’s a Navy SEAL; You can tell he’s authentic because all retired sergeant major SEALs are covered in tattoos and wear camouflage on their off-time; Surprisingly, neither the Army […]
Former Mayor Robert A. Livingston pleads guilty
KSTP reports that former Lakeland, Minnesota mayor Robert A. Livingston pleaded guilty to receiving veterans benefits from the Veterans’ Affairs Department with a forged DD214 and “numerous false documents”. He ran for office on his nonexistent military record; The plea agreement said Livingston never served in the military and created “numerous false documents,” including a […]
Christopher Blystone, valor thief arrested
We wrote about Oathkeeper Christopher Blystone nearly three years ago when he was pretending to be Ranger medic who served in Somalia and participated in Operation Gothic Serpent. Actually, he was a veterinary food inspector stationed in Korea. He’d enlisted two years after Gothic Serpent. Well, he’s been busy fulfilling his destiny, I guess; Because […]
