Tito Rodriguez; Facebook Hero
Several of you sent us this link to this elaborate ruse who calls himself Tito Rodriguez and claims he’s in Somalia running operations, and he takes a lot of casualties. Luckily he had Facebook to get debriefed on by the people running his ops. And apparently Richard “Dick” Johnson (yeah that’s a name) only communicates with Tito;
Mr. Big Dick the Johnson isn’t the only one who only talks to Tito on Facebook;
Apparently, chicks don’t care if you’re an ugly, fat turd, cuz killing skinnies by the bucketloads is sexy…it makes a hood rat downright irresistible.
Apparently, speaking a lot of languages is important in Tito’s world. He speaks seven and all of his “friends’ speak at least five each – I wonder how they can all talk what with so many languages between them. And of course, Tito has a Silver Star on his cover photo. I mean, how can you be a hero without one?
And you know, giving your Facebook friends classified information about your patrols in a country where we’re not supposed to have troops is imperative to fighting the information war.

Dick Johnson is also the stolen picture of SGT Roberto Sanchez.

I think you missed the most disgusting part of all of this. “Tito” created “Robert Johnsons” profile using the picture of a Ranger who was KIA. Sergeant Robert Daniel Sanchez
Wow, the snankasaurus level in this post… holy shit off the charts high.
I can’t access FB from work, but OMG, please bury this creep!
Holy crazy batshit….making up fake people to have conversations with? That’s a whole new level mental right there…
Weird. Just plain weird.

^ A couple other obvious fakes created by him.
I think this could actually be fun… make a fake account, friend him and then fuck with him relentlessly. Buy in to his stories full fledge for a while and then after a bit start poking small holes in his stories and watch him tap dance. I see great potential for humor here!
Wow, he was a First Sergeant promoted to Captain, that’s impressive…
I know if I read one of my friends listed KIA first thing I’d do is go to their facebook page and say, hey man where are you? Are you okay?
Furthermore, since when do officers re-enlist?
@8 the same day they were allowed facial hair
hes “black ops” he doesn’t have to follow uniform regs 😛
Another piece of shit in need of a cold steel beatdown.
The turd looks like he is constipated.
It looks like you guys uncovered a “mini-cult” of posers.
I swear he’s a Brony……Dude just looks it
He looks mentally retarded.
I wish those were real handguns so when he went to draw both at the same time he’d ND and shoot himself.
that fucking guy!

heres a write-up with a little more info regarding who this poser actually is.
if only we could get an estimate on city and state…
This is in the “About” section of Richard Johnson’s Facebook Page:
My name is Cory but I go by “Ox”, I am in the military, I have been enlisted since 2005 and I have managed to rise through the ranks pretty quick. I am an outgoing guy that takes my work very seriously. When I am not on deployment I am a fun guy to be around. If anyone wants to hook up or whatever send me a message and we’ll see what happens.
Amy,
With a name like “Ox” I’m picturing a write up in Tiger Beat magazine right now!!
Somalia, running operations? Looks like the only “running” this guy is doing is from the running car to inside a Dunkin Donuts. Now I know DD’s are pretty ubiquitous in New England. Somalia? Not so much, specially with that ham bagel sandwich thing they got going on, or the bacon breakfast croissant…oh yeah, baby.
But lifting pics of deceased service members and creating phony FB accounts to “talk” to? That’s Dallas-level batshit crazy.
7 Languages…to bad he does not comprehend in any of them….
A Singapore style public flogging would be a nice place to start with this numbnuts…
Sickening, definitely next year’s stolen valor champ
Tito Rodriguez Its ok. Shit happens. Mark was wounded and he was brought to Germany. I saw him before he died. I knew that he was going to die and he saw distress in my eyes and he told me to listen to this one song and then he died. Later I found out that he was shot with an SKS round carrying Cobra venom. Noone at the medical ward did any lab work when he was shot. If lab work would’ve been done then Mark would be alive. He died 2 weeks ago.
What a dipshit.
#6…that idea has merit. I wonder if any of his friends are real people or if they were all created by him to pick up chick
https://www.facebook.com/felipe.hernandez.900
^possible fake as well
https://www.facebook.com/amanda.calleros
^Seems legit.
Both are “friends” with Tito and claim the same high school. Felipe’s page is barren and a quick glance at his friends list makes me think he could be fake, possibly an original fake of Tito that he uses to get more friends.
Amanda just became friends with Tito within the last month, I’d guess she just saw the same high school and clicked accept. She would be who I’d go to first to find out any info on this “Tito”
https://www.facebook.com/mark.thompsonn.39?sk=wall
This is the same guy who was killed with the cobra venom, I guess he came back to life to attend the funeral for asshat, who was not really dead either. its like a one man play
“You of all people should know that nothing can kill me. Why would JOC pronounce me KIA on my birthday? Rich also said that they had my funeral on Sunday. Do you know if Command contacted my mom or anything? I sure hope not because I’ll probably get my ass kicked because this would be the second time they labeled me as KIA lol. But I am fine. I’ll call you later today and explain everything.”
I just want to punch this guy in the throat.
COBRA VENOM? Fucking seriously?
What the fuck? !?!?!?!?! This is some seriously fucked up in the head stuff…..holy shit I am astonished.
Some people are just so cool that you want to give them a manly fist bump… to the nut sack.
Who does this retread think he is with stories like that? I would suggest someone give this assclown a royal beatdown.
@ #21 I was thinking the same thing…..unfortunately, it’s too early in the season to make that prediciton….
Dear lord this is a whole new level of insane. I thought Barwan was crazy…
Who is this Biggs guy they keep talking about? I thought he died in the attack on the first Death Star.
Nichevo–I think he and Porkins had Tie Fighters up there ass…..that’s the last time I saw Biggs anyway…just sayin’
Well, flying through hyperspace ain’t like dusting crops, kid….
Wonder if he has gotten his free sample of Tactical Magic yet…
679Pring—Watch your mouth kid our you’ll find yourself floating home! 🙂
I am honestly curious as to what could be going on in this guy’s head.
That man in the picture holding the shottie was a fellow Ranger and friend of mine at 1/75… his name was Sgt Roberto Sanchez and he was KIA in Afghanistan in 2009. Then some fucking asshat steals his picture and pretends to be him on Facebook… honestly, how much lower can you get?
Then go on his Facebook page and tell him so. And don’t hold back, Lee1/75.
Geez, the guy talks to himself. I thought only children had invisible friends.
Must be snake eater checked his FB, his page is “temporarily unavailable”. And I can’t find his “Friends”.
What a fucking dipshit…
I like how he talks about how many times he’s been labeled KIA. Yeah.. you know.. Because everyone gets labeled KIA at least twice when they’re not actually dead, right?
Fucking retarded… Someone should put him out at 200 yards and practice Mark 19 shots…
Woops. I didn’t see the name function in the write spot. Well this is the same person as #41. The idea still stands…
Found him, must be the Skinnies had disconnected his wi-fi. Left him a message.
Probably not the same guy, but here’s another heavyset Rodriguez by the name of Jose (one of his FB friends call him that in some of the comments): http://www.myspace.com/lowbeast
Different age, city in AZ, and HS, but this guy could be an earlier version of “Tito”. Besides the UCP background, his occupation is listed as grunt and one of his friends made the following comment:
“Mayra Mireles
‘whats ranger school?’
2 years ago”
Also a roadside bomb is mentioned in his “my apologies” blog post.
Oh, and how many Jose Rodriguez’ are there in AZ? I found two or three different mugshots alone…
If I make a fake Facebook will people friend me just so we can friend this guy and make his life hell? I’m only asking because it’ll look fishy if I add him with no friends
This guy is out there flappin’.
Kumar,
Post the fake name that you’re going to use, and I will. I’ve already sent messages to all of his legit-looking Facebook friends and those of “Richard Johnson” to let them know he’s a fraud– along with a link to SGT Sanchez’s memorial page.

Here’s what bothers me most. Stolen Valor incidents are free speach. Ok, whatever, lame but I can kinda see it. After thinking a bit, I realize that Hitler and Charles Manson never killed anybody, they just exercised free speach. Would the supreme court care to exonerate their maligned names? Furthermore, its illegal to lie about being handicapped for personal gain. Should I park in handicapped spaces now, and appeal to the supreme court when ticketed? I was expressing myself. And perjury should be struck down. Lying under oath is expression, and for the very courts that determine constitutionality to want a “no, really, level with me” mechanic is a sign that the stats quo has faults. Why should an absence of a pinky promise, an infantile tactic, be protected by the very elders we selected to safeguard us based on their supposed wisdom??
The other profile he made up : https://www.facebook.com/cornelius.halog is actually using PFC James Halog’s personal picture as his own. I don’t know if Pfc Halog is still in service but I’m sure he’d be thrilled to know how his pictures are being used.
This asshole better get caught. what he is doing is illegal and i bet his ass is wishing he wouldnt have impersonated military personnel.
