Angelo Otchy, another phony hero
Zedechek sent us an article last night about military barfly Angelo Otchy, the New Jerseyian who managed to get booted from nearly every branch of military service, and then engineered his own award of his community’s Distinguished Service Medal with his fantasies;
The 35-year-old Army veteran told a reporter that day about his three tours of duty in Iraq. Voice dropping to a near-hush, he spoke, too, about the buried bomb that ripped through his Humvee, injuring him and claiming the lives of three friends, one of them a soldier from Paterson.
“I’m haunted by that day every day of my life,” Otchy told The Star-Ledger.
But Otchy wasn’t in that Humvee. He was at home in New Jersey when the soldiers died. And he didn’t serve three tours of duty in Iraq. He served half of one tour before he was sent back to the States for extended rest and relaxation.
Sweet Marie. And who busted him? It was his own uncle, a colonel. The Star Ledger says he had an extensive military career;
Records show he joined the Army in December 1993, only to be discharged four months later. In May 1996, he enlisted in the Marine Corps but washed out of basic training. Otchy said he failed to qualify in weapons proficiency.
Just three months later, he joined the Navy. Again it didn’t stick. Otchy lasted less than a year before he was discharged.
“I didn’t want to do it anymore,” he said.
Now someone compare that quote with this statement from Otchy;
“I was feeling down and out, and I guess I wanted someone to appreciate what I did for this country, because I sure as hell don’t feel appreciated,” Otchy said. “I’ve been home two years, and maybe two people said ‘Thank you for your service.’?”
Poor guy, he didn’t do anything and feels unappreciated.

“I’ve been home two years, and maybe two people said ‘Thank you for your service.’?”
Never made it out of basic and he doesn’t feel appreciated? Great googly moogly what a wanker…failed to qualify in weapons proficiency? It ain’t that damn hard, good thing he never was deployed, he wouldn’t have been able to hit the enemy anyway….
Yo, Angie–12 years in. FIVE Westpacs. I’ve got more time on the shitter at test depth answering a backing bell then you had in the Navy, Army, AND Marines. You know how many times I’ve been thanked for my serivce? TWICE–when I joined the VFW, and when I joined the Legion. Some of us don’t do it for the thanks, the glory, or the medals, you do realize that, right?
I hear a sound…is it a knife catching a scalp? Boo-friggin’ hoo.
And stolen valor is a victimless crime. How about the guys that were actually there? The families of the soldiers that died in that IED attack? I’ll bet their blood pressure doubled after hearing that, and the douche got an award for his tall tales…
This Angelo bitch has a bad case of diarrhea of the keyboard, to go along with his mouth:

But seriously, WTF was the recruiter thinking putting him in for a FOURTH time? Is there an “everything waiver” these days?
Hey Angelo, have you thought about the Foreign Legion? I mean, you’ve given almost everything else a try. Why not them? You might even stick.
I just read it again; he nominated himself for this award. Jesus, what a desperate piece of shit.
“Otchy said he now worries about his benefits, his standing in the community and his reputation among fellow veterans.”
Hmm. What are the chances he told this same sob story to get a diagnosis of PTSD? I really hope someone at the VA reviews his records; pretty sure lying to gain benefits IS a crime.
What reputation among fellow veterans? He didn’t even make it to the end of any of his contracts.
God, I hate these kind of guys!
Angelo sends me his love:
“YOU HAVE 24 HOURS TO REMOVE THIS STORY ABOUT ME I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MY ATTORNEY AN THIS IS HARASSEMENT AND DEFAMAITION OF CHARACTER,ONLY RIGHTS I GAVE FOR THIS ARTICLE WAS TO THE STAR LEDGER,IF NOT REMOVED BY FRIDAY MORNING I WILL FILE A CIVIL LAWSUIT AND SUE FOR PERSONAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY YOUR POST..SO PLEASE REMOVE IT WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS,THANK YOU
KINDLY,
ANGELO OTCHY”
Here’s my response: Angelo you have 24 hours to pull your thumb from your mouth and act like a man. File away, dumbass. I can’t defame your character anymore than you already have.

What reputation among fellow veterans? He didn’t even make it to the end of any of his contracts.
Here’s what one of his fellow veterans thinks…
“That incident was probably the most catastrophic thing that happened to us when we were over there, and for someone to take that and find some kind of glory in it, that’s beyond disgraceful,” Whitney said. “I don’t even have words for that.”
Sgt. Whitney was in the Humvee behind the one hit…
and Jello, you don’t give rights to a newspaper for the story, they can print it if they want. Just because a blog posted on a (true) news story you think you can sue? You didn’t talk to a lawyer dick…
Uh, Jonn–not to dredge up bad Internet memes, but:
Angie: “YA DUN GOOFED!!! I’ve backtraced all of you! And when I find you, consequences will never be the same!” (Google Jessi Slaughter if you don’t understand what I’m talking about.)
Dear Angie–please show us where we’ve said anything demonstrably false. You can’t show damages, you can’t show defamation of character (although your e-mail to Jonn shows DEFINITION of character), and frankly, your huffing and puffing serve only to further amuse me.
In short, dear douchenozzle, make us.
Another useless turd ready for a good healthy flush.
When will people realize that you WILL get caught when you lie about things like this.
He’s ‘currently’ a SP4 in the army according to LinkedIn

Dear Angelo:
Your understanding of the law is on par with the exemplariness of your military service. Go fuck yourself,
Thank you kindly,
Scott
There is no chance on Spongebob’s green Earth that there is a lawyer so fucking retarded as to have advised this kid what he is saying here.
Angelo, bring it on bud.
Jonn- Hope you forwarded this to our VAOIG reader.
….every day I’m haunted by Bigg’s fighter bursting into flames as Vader’s laser cannon tore his ship to shreds.
…every day I’m haunted that Jack wasn’t able to get onto that headboard and he died saving Kate Winslet’s epic breasts.
If Otchy decides to pull his head from his ass, his Uncle can probably help, as he is a colo-rectal surgeon.
Doc, if I am ever in Fairfax and need checking of the innerds, you’re my man.
“Jonn- Hope you forwarded this to our VAOIG reader.”
Wholeheartedly seconded. Someone needs to put the screws to this liar and make sure he isn’t getting benefits based on a fantasy.
Well, he does have enough active duty service for DVA benefits. Now I’m getting crocodile tear-stained emails about his wife and kids…and would I “please” take down the post. I’m guessing the time for “please” ended right before he threatened legal recourse. I think we’re at the point in the discussion in which he’ll have to kick my newly-narrowed ass.
…every day I’m haunted that Ted wasn’t able to solve his drinking problem which drove Elaine away…and don’t call me Shirley.
from the comments section at the ledger: SGT WHITNEY August 02, 2010 at 8:41PM Follow Otchy you have no clue what you have done. This is not something you can say sorry for. We see that night every day and every night. I see Borm, Rob and E-Z every day. My brothers. You meet us once mybe twice. What right do you have to claim them as YOUR FALLEN BROTHERS!! I had to watch them die. Not you. You sat on the FOB until we needed more food. We went out and and got hit with IED’s almost every night. Sat throught mortor fire, and RPG attacks. You sat on the FOB. When you felt the wire, we lead the convoy. When our brothers died, we fill the body bags. When they left Iraq we carried thier bodies. WE WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU. Inappropriate? Alert us.Reply Post new augustphilnchris August 03, 2010 at 2:19AM Follow Folks, this is just a tiny smattering of what this fraud has pulled over the years. Believe it or not I went to school with this guy. I only found out about this over a round of golf today. A buddy of mine brought up this story and I instantly knew who he was talking about. Ask this idiot about his hilarious appearance on the Jenny Jones show (c.1995) . I saw that one in college and had a hard time convincing my fraternity brothers that A)I knew such an idiot & B)his story about being a “ladies man” in Las Vegas was/and had to be a total farce. Then ask Angelo about the time he approached me and a mutual classmate from CHS approx.12 years ago, and asked us to donate to the wife of a “dead” classmate, who was now homeless b/c “MIKE” had died. It seemed a tad fishy so I declined. (In the world before the INTERNET was so sophisticated 1998) I called the “dead” guy’s mother a couple days later not really knowing what to expect and…VOILA! “Mike” was still alive. What a friggin liar! Inappropriate? Alert us.Reply Post new… Read more »
Wow…this guy is like the Chuck Norris of douche fu.
#24 Claymore:
That was absolutely priceless.
#23 TSO:
Those posts cut like knives. I could only hope Otchy would see them and die of shame.
Be interesting to see his neighbors remarks, or those of his alleged wife and kids.
From now on he’s gonna have to worry about who he might run in to every time he leaves his house.
TSO; you know as well as I do that stolen valor is a victimless crime, so I don’t understand why you need to put these responses up. (That’s sarcasm for all the scumbags that think he was exercising his free speech “rights”)
I want everyone one of the dumbasses that think that stolen valor is free speech and a “victimless crime” to look at the responses that TSO put up. I want everyone to read those responses where you can feel a slight bit of the pain that these gentlemen have to experience because some douchenozzle pulls this shit. Talk about bringing up flashbacks. These warriors will now have to relive that night with a newly opened wound.
I’m so pissed, I can’t even add anymore what I wanted to say.
So, can I start talking about my time in the bad bush when we were in the Poon Tang province of the Nam and I caught that rpg round with my bare hands. Then I threw it back at Charlie, killing 58 of the little bastards. Then I made sweet love to 18 different Viet prostitutes and 1 Filipino waitress in 1 night.
See fucktard, if you are gonna make shit up, at least be entertaining. Folks won’t want to kick your ass then. What a waste of good genetic material.
Yup, it’s a damn shame that Angie’s wife and kids have to live with the knowledge that there father is a liar who sought to take credit for others’ deed without having borne their sacrifice.
Fortunately for him, he has time left to make up for this character flaw. Time that shouldn’t be wasted making all-caps threats about lawsuits that have zero precedential support.
No shit….there I was, my code name was Agent Orange Otchy and we were hot on the trail of Col. Wat Da Phuk….
Maybe we can take up a collection and instead of Ang’ getting a lawyer to sue TAH, we can give it to his wife so she can divorce this shitbag.

I’ll contribute!
He’s on STOLEN VALOR TOO !!!!

Like to see him threaten them.
What a turd. Can’t even spell “defamation” correctly.
Sounds like this assh**e deserves one thing, and one thing only. A pistol with a single round in it, so that he can attempt to do what used to be called the “honorable thing”, and relieve his family (if he has any willing to acknowledge him) of the shame of being related to him.
Hey, c’mon, how many of YOU guys have the Trainee Discharge Ribbon with THREE clusters?
I don’t think he’s getting the credit he deserves…clearly he has more than three clusters. In fact, I’d venture a guess and say he’s one giant walking cluster.
Douchebag (3 OLC).
When doing psyc evals on PI I ran into a ton of douche bags like this. One of the things I told them when signing the papers to get them out of the Corps was, “I’ll read about you in the paper some day. You’ll go from not packing the gear to hero.” Voila! I told them, “Your gonna run into some men who really did pack the gear and when they hear your bullshit, your gonna take a helluva asswhipping, so be prepared.” I wonder if he’s the guy who stole my original Purple Heart outta my case at Naval Hospital Beaufort? Wouldn’t surprise me.
HONOR AND COURAGE!
AirCav
FFS, someone stole your Purple Heart out of the case…at the hospital? Unfrakingbelievable…
#39,
I saw a couple of soldiers get kicked out or ETS that I was sure were going to suddenly become heroes. I still Google one of my former miscreants from time to time just waiting for the day he decides to elaborate.
