Andy Prado, phony Ranger, SF

| December 8, 2015

Andy Prado

The folks at Military Phonies send us their tireless work on this fellow, Andre “Andy” Prado, a Cuba-born American who enlisted in the US Army and who currently serves as the Post Commander of the Disabled Veterans of America Post 5 in Los Angeles, California. He tells the tale of his military service to the Library of Congress’ Veterans’ Project as a 20-year veteran Ranger and a sergeant major;

Prado claims LOC

He also tells his story to former classmates on Classmates.com;

prado-classmates-story-all

He claims that he joined the Army in 1978, that he participated in the Grenada Invasion with the 75th Rangers, that he was in Operation just Cause in Panama, Desert Storm in Kuwait, and Somalia in Mogadishu, Somalia. he was in a coma for more than a year from his injuries, that he went from 200 pounds to 57 pounds. He claims that he has Silver Star Medals, Bronze Star medals, Purple Heart Medals, and a 3rd award of the Combat Infantryman Badge.

prado-automobile2

The truth is that he enlisted in the California National Guard a few days before the Grenada liberation in 1983 precluding his participation in that battle. His only deployment was to Desert Storm where he was a customs inspector in Saudi Arabia. Probably, he was the customs inspector who accused me of smuggling Iraqi weapons back from the war when he found our M240 coax machine gun stowed beneath the floor boards of my Bradley and he didn’t recognize the Fabrique-Nacional weapon as US Army issued. Maybe not.

Anyway, here’s his FOIA;

Prado CANG FOIA

Andres Prado FOIA

He was a buck sergeant, customs inspector, not a Ranger Sergeant Major. No retired sergeant major would dress up like a street hood. The amount of money that he invested in all of his Ranger and Special Forces BS is all on display at Phony Warriors. The guy is such a douche – and of course, he has a “service dog”;

Prior to becoming an eebil duouble-dipping government contractor, I worked part time at one of those big-box hardware stores. We had a regular customer with a service ferret. No shit.

Wait… you don’t have 11 of them? Pffttt. On my Bradley we had the 240Zulu with 88mm chain gun, and a 100,000 hp engine. We had a 5,000 mile range because we traded in our dismounts for remounts. Our Halon system blew oxygen INTO our engine. And of course it suckedddddd having a Bradley with working heat at Hohenfels during the winter.

And yes the State post and the National Post.

Already done. Facebook started stopping me every few minutes for “Spam, but a few other people have already posted dozens of comments with the Military Phonies links as well.

Great discussion on this group (i.e. DAV Post 5) about all of this. On the left hand column, expand the comments of Stephanie Rusigno.

Also, the thread below where Fidel Riesgo says the board is in disarray right now.

I guess those comments are having some impact. You’d think if it was all a mistake Prado would be outraged. Afraid it all must be true. Feel sad for the DAV Chapter.

Give them credit, at least they are not deleting the comments and ignoring the situation. Good for them.

ChipNASA

Looks like he blocked me and deleted my comments BUT missed the review comments.
RETARDED ASSHOLE!!

Man that was some coma. At first he said he was in a coma for 9 months then at the bottom it says 13 months.

USMCMSgtRet

Don’t forget, he looks like Arnold… only bigger.

Yeah, saw that. I bet he doesn’t have any pictures of that time in his life when he was such a massive bad ass.

Now it’s 4 years in a coma.

He posted this on his Facebook as a comment to Scott Heck, who asked if he could give names of anyone he served with:

“thank you will take care of it as soon as I possibly can . I took a bullet to my head had 5 brain sergerys and spent 4 yrs in a coma and pretty much recoverd fully except for the fact I lost vision in one eye abd cannot smell. but I can live with that I will make sure I get all the informations everyone ask for soon as I can posiible do it right now I have been extremely busy lately I amm 100% disabled through the Veterans admistration and the us government”

Hack Stone

I have the utmost confidence that he has the ability to smell. I can smell his stank ass from Bethesda.

Does he get hash marks on his uniform for those four years in a coma? I am just happy to see that he was able to bounce back from 58 pounds to his tonnage.

There are some days I would love to just be in a 4 yr coma.

I wonder what felonies and other abhorrent behavior we’ll discover about this shitbird. And will the DAV defend or punt him?

I left my B drawer unlocked in boot. I was invited to march around the barracks for a LONG time, holding my B drawer in my hands, and repeating over and over again, “I am a B drawer fairy!” I was also informed by my CC that if it weren’t for dirtbags like me, there would be no thieves in the Navy.

Seems like if the various branches could just get their record-keeping squared away, there wouldn’t be so many stories about these guys ands their screwed-up service records!

This guy sucks at math. He expects people to believe he made CSM is 13 years? Because he spent the remaining 7 years of his 20 year career in the hospital.

A 9 month coma went to 13 months in the same paragraph.

What a douchebag.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

You know 9 months in a coma is BAD, 13 months is a BITCH!

Veritas Omnia Vincit

Indeed he’s so special he was shot in the head and his family was told he was going to die but now he’s so good you’d never know he was shot, because it was with an invisible bullet that’s why no scars…

Scars are a bitch, I have a nice reminder on my right forearm of an encounter with a knife. There’s no hiding the scar, it’s about 4 inches long…also have a few others on the knees and fingers…

Bullet holes leave scars that tend to be pretty obvious, least they used to unless the surgery has become so sophisticated they can hide missing pieces of skin when you are sewn back together.

Carrie

This is very intresting to see the hate on this page .i must admit im confused about all the documents being mentioned since im a cicvillan .the only experience i have with the army is from what ive seen from my uncle who was shot in the head in the war when i was a young child .i remember being told he was missing presummed dead because his body was not found .my father who spent some time not satisified with this answer continuted to maintain contact and hope that his brother indeed was alive months later my uncle andy prado was found in a miltarty hospital in a coma in wich he suffered a bullet to the head , there indeed is a scar and a hole through his brain u can feel the indent when u touch it .i dont know about the milatary in great length what i know and have always known is that my uncle signed up for his country and fought and when he came home he was sick and hurt and we were proud of him , i dont know what the medals he has are for or what there called but i know no one who has the corage to serve our country in anyway deserves to be disrespected in the way u people on here are .shame on such hateful behavior i hope your family never has to read such garbage about you .and the reason I and my cousins can see this garbage is because u put it on his fb page so we can shame on you

How did that happen? Or does the inability to even spell your own name run rampant in the family?

“months later my uncle andy prado was found in a military hospital in a coma” Did this happen during the Civil War? I’m pretty sure the modern military would have not only known who he was, but contacted next of kin, to let them know the status of the military member. I seriously doubt, you would have to ‘find’ someone.

Damn, I know that sometimes the military dicks things up, but they have a serviceman in a coma hospitalized for months, with no notification of next of kin, until his brother starts pulling the gauze from all of the unknown patients? If your uncle only thought to have his name, SS number and blood type under his armpit.

One final thought:

Shame on you Carrie for not finishing school.

Dropping out of school in 5th grade is a bad idea. I may be wrong about the grade, but honey you are a drop out.

Do the same here!

Drop out!

Carrie:
That was an interesting episode of the tv show M*A*S*H, the one in which the soldier from Lichtenstein was thought to be lost but was really in the hospital.
The truth is, no one gets lost and found in a military hospital. Dog tags, CAC’s, wing men, First Sergeants, etc, everyone’s known to someone.

Just An Old Dog

Ease up he used those 9-13 months in a coma to finish up all his PME online

Daisy Cutter

This is your brain.

This is your brain after 13 months in a coma.

Familiar diagnosis. CRS = Can’t Remember Squat

The part of his brain where he remembers squat got taken out by the sniper’s bullet in Mogadishu.

How would you feel if you were bigger than Arnold and you woke up 13 months later and were 53 pounds? At least they meritoriously promoted him while he was in the coma, so he probably woke up as a SGTMAJ.

Daisy Cutter

It’s all so clear to me now.

A Proud Infidel®™

And I always thought that being brain dead automatically qualified one for the rank of 2LT!

Daisy Cutter

He’s ‘spainin’ on his Facebook page.

I think he is digging a deeper hole since now he is claiming he was in a coma for 4 years vs. 13 months.

Poor guy, the damage from that bullet to the head was worse than I thought.

I’ve known a few soldiers that pinned on E9 at 13-14 years but this cock gobbler certainly didnt!!!

John "Faker 6" Giduck

As a fellow Ranger and SF phony, I take umbrage with the gross mischaracterizations of fakers like us. Remember that it others who speak ill of us and ofetn invent the tall tales attributed to us. Example:

https://thetruthaboutsocnetlies.wordpress.com/2013/04/27/how-john-giduck-misleads-you-spreading-lies-through-others/

We are regular folks just trying to get by. Granted that most of us seem to not be height weight proportional but that is more due to a collective glandular problem. we need your patience and love and not the hate that is spewed here.

I’ll remind everyone of that famous saying

“It is not the blog posting critic who counts; not the man who points out how the faker man stumbles, or where the doer of unnatural acts and crimes against nature could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who never was in the arena, whose photoshop face is marred by dust and sweat and donut sprinkles; who never strived valiantly; who errs on uniform photos, whose speaker bios are shown to be false again and again, because there has been no effort beyond the cover story, tattoos, and photos; but who does actually want credit for doing the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in an unworthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of deceit and joys of truckstop appreciation, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least gets posted on websites while daring greatly, knowing that his place might always be with those overweight and timid other fakers who neither know victory nor graduation from basic training.”

― Theodore “Faker 7” Roosevelt

Who else might have ties to a group that three major newspapers say bombed a US Embassy?

Me! That’s who! Like I said, just regular guys that only dabble in stolen valor and nothing else.

Now back to my regularly scheduled truckstop popsicle impression and neck stretching.

I was walking into Home Depot last week and encountered a man coming out of the store in his mid-50’s, wearing a black baseball cap. Across the front it said “SILVER STAR” in embroidered letters and “CONSPICUOUS GALLANTRY”. I think the cap was exactly like this one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SILVER-STAR-BALL-CAP-USAF-USMC-USN-US-ARMY-USCG-MILITARY-HAT-BIN-6-/231591007998
I stood in awe and was momentarily paralyzed. I had never seen anyone wear such a cap before.

Claw

I’ll have to go with the Silver Star Ball Cap equals 10% discount at Home Depot routine on that one.
Probably on his way to Lowe’s to get the same deal.

Pinto Nag

Oh, Walmart is the place to be for shitbaggery. Some greybeard, longhair walked by me the other day with a coat that had more patches than fabric. I recognized the Screaming Eagle patch, and a Special Forces patch, but there were a ton of others as well. People would swerve to go shake his hand. I just looked at him like he had a raging case of lice and kept going.

Green Thumb

I met a guy like that once.

But this dude was a little cleaner. I asked about the patches as I was suspicious.

Interesting response.

He wore not only all of his patches from back in the day, but his three sons and one daughter’s patches that were in or had served. Even had all of their name plates (same as his minus the lady) on his jacket as well.

I shook the man’s hand and told him to carry on.

He was open and honest.

Kinda cool.

Pinto Nag

I don’t go close enough to meet them. I figure anybody that full of themselves doesn’t need me to bolster their ego.

I remember coming out of a Walgreens store after work one day and seeing a ball cap on the dash of another car that had a Ranger Tab on it with a BSM pinned next to it, I decided to just get in my pickup and go on home, I didn’t want to end up in jail for throat punching some shittyassed poser!

sj

Today at Lowes. Guy with a vest and some shit on it…didn’t get close enough to see what. And, BINGO, of course, a dog. With a vest too. With shit on the vest.

I just kept walking.

PS: last week in same Lowes there was an old dude (reminder, I’m 74) wearing everything possible in Marine colors, patches, pins, etc. I mean flaming red and yellow jacket, pants, hat, shirt, socks, and, probably skives. I just shook my head. Even if legit, can’t you look forward?

Dave Hardin

I run into the too. If you met me in public you would have no way of knowing I am a veteran. Probably would know I am a Steelers fan this time of year.

Whatever floats their boat I guess. It has always seemed a bit embarrassing to me. The dog thing…I don’t get it. I call for my invisible dog when someone gets their feelings hurt.

His response from his Facebook page:

“for those of you who read this fake post I have a dd-214 and a dd215 showing my military records that shows I was a special forces Ranger if anyone believes this fake story which was posted by a wannabe who does not even know me if you have any question contact me and I will clear it up for you.”

So I am thinking: If I was awarded a Silver Star, Bronze Star and 2 Purple Hearts I would be most upset about my status as a Ranger.

GDContractor

Well gosh Mr. Hardin, maybe someone should contact him and clear all this up.

Well gosh Beaver,

I will be checking my inbox with excitement and anticipation. He says it is no problem and he will send his DD214 and DD215 with proof of a Silver Star award.

Call me skeptical.

Daisy Cutter

I bet it is not a Silver Star award citation that he sends you. It will probably be a certificate that verifies that he has a Silver Star.

You can freely get them on the internet.

The official looking citations usually carry with them those pesky felony forgery charges.

Bonus points if the Silver Star cert. is signed by Millard Filmore.

I plastered his BoS all over his page just as soon as it was published by Military Phonies.

Well, I guess that means he won’t have any problem producing a copy of each (DD214 and DD215), right?

Put up or shut up time, Prado. Pronto!

First link at the top of this story, Military Phonies, prado claim he “Seen(sic) the world literaly 7 times” How can an illiterate see anything literally even once? Then you claim you lost your sense of smell. Bull hockey! You mean you lost your sense of SPELL! Finally, you claim you got down to 57 pounds. Why didn’t they just ship you to Ethiopia where you would have fit right in? Your story would have been more believable had you claimed you got down to twelve pounds! Last by not least Hairy Carrie, in the second line of your above post, you claim to be a “cicvilian” (sic). You cunt wannabee, you are a sick vilian alright! Please Carrie, show us your tits. A 57 pound bed ridden comatose female gets my juices flowing HOT! Speshally whin she aint a gud spellar! Send me a picture so I can spank my monkey every few days until we can meat. Can’t wait to see your training bra almost bulging. Maybe we can run off together and become carnies. We can have the only booth where a guy can get some real ‘Head”, through that bullet hole of course!

He saw Blackhawk Down and he took on the persona of Gordon and Shughart.

Prado is not listed as one of the 41 Silver Stars awarded to soldiers from Somalia.

Well, he has backup from a Super Secret Squirrel Air Force type, who claims the Government refuses to disclose to him hi entire record… and don’t you know he had a “Secret” Clearance (who didn’t?), and was told to contact the FBI and local Police if anyone asked for information about his job after he was discharged.

If you go to that tard’s FB page, he’s got a photo there of an old mil DL with PID info on it.

I have always been suspicious of the Veterans History Project.

I think it is a great tool to record stories from our past and present to be heard by future generations.

However, they have no concrete way to qualitatively screen the stories. And if I am not mistaken, they will also take stories from spouses and kids – the ones generally getting lied to on a daily basis.

For every 9 or 10 legit stories there has to be a few phonies or embellishers.

Tough call.

Thoughts?

sj

Wasn’t Bernasty’s interview for them linked last week? It was awesome. I’m sure every word was true. Very Bernathian.

Dave Hardin

The thing is an insult to History. It should be called Drunken War Stories while Fishing. The only place I read those stories is while I am taking a shit.

Jarhead

Have to agree with you 100% GT. Apparently there are many organizations looking for members who have a good b. S. story; no proof needed. Look at the Vietnam Veterans Association. To be a member, all you had to have done was BE IN the service DURING the RVN war. A lot of these recognition seeking whores ride the floats in parades, as well as load their vehicles down with stickers such as this Prado phony has done. You can spot ’em and smell ’em a mile away. Those of us who have paid the price do not seek recognition, and generally avoid the topic. It’s just difficult to avoid commenting once a phony has made himself visible and looking for the limelight. Contempt is about the only word that really enters my mind at times like that. As I get older I try to mellow a bit more. But the truth is, it just pisses me off more and more when I see these idiots and hear their make-believe war stories. For every 9 or 19 story tellers, my guess would be probably 25% or more are named Mr. Fullashit.

Jarhead

Sorry, typo, I meant 9 or 10. Now that I think about it, the percentage still is likely the same.

C2Show

His facebook page is full of characters…

Memo Munoz guy writes:

I’m just joining the conversation and don’t know how it started. Nevertheless, no one is entitled to question me about my military service nor am I obligated to disclose it. Having established that fact, I know that people who do feel entitled to question me about my military service still haven’t come to terms with theirs–whatever it involved. In my case, I was given a “Secret” security clearance, a classified assignment, and when released from active duty was ordered to call the FBI or local police if anyone asked me anything classified about my job. So, I was paranoid frequently over the next 20 years because the Cold War was in full swing. I went to the VA in 1988 seeking treatment for service-connected PTSD regarding events that I couldn’t talk about and officially never happened. The VA finally diagnosed me with Chronic PTSD in 2009–21 years after I first tried to get them to help me. I’m still appealing the VA’s denial of my claim for injuries I sustained during active duty. The government has never provided me with my complete military record. And the government has refused to comply with my request to provide me with my military record despite the fact that I’ve requested it under provisions of the Freedom of Information Act. One interesting discovery, though, is that the VA did release a document that indicates I came back from the theater of operations during the Vietnam War but no record of me ever being deployed. I also know guys who were sent into North Vietnam and Cambodia, yet there’s no mention of those missions in their military records. Because I still can’t talk openly about what I did for America, I know that others can’t either. So, when my friend Andy Prado says “shit happens,” I believe he’s telling the truth that shit happened to him.

Green Thumb

It appears we have stumbled into some kind of cult.

I wonder if they all know that each other are posers?

Green Thumb

The only truth here is that Memo Munoz probably takes it in the two-hole.

Phildostyle, no less.

GDContractor

Memo is the Einstein that has his PII posted on facebook. Apparently he was in 9th field maintenance squadron, USAF. He posted his old Kadema AFB Drivers lic.

C2Show

God, I didnt even look at his facebook page because his tore up post was so much garbage that I post it here. Nobody said a thing to him yet about this crap.

Hondo

GDC: send me the info via Jonn and I’ll file a FOIA on
“ol’ Meme”. Then we’ll see if he did anything besides clean latrines at Kadena.

C2Show

Meme did indeed post his Japan SOFA Drivers license on facebook. Not a bright fella. He is probably legit, but most definitely embellished his role.

Bobo

I faxed an SF-180 to St. Louis this morning with Memo’s info. Just incase I screwed it up, I’d suggest multiple SF-180s for him.

Hondo

Will be glad to file a second FOIA if someone sends me the info thru Jonn (or directly, if we’ve previously corresponded). I don’t do Facebook.

GDContractor

Hondo – I just saw your request above. Looks like maybe this is handled, but will bounce an email your direction anyways.

Hondo

Thanks. Always best to dual-source info – on rare occasions NPRC clerks manage to miss stuff, and comparing two independent FOIAs generally allows you to determine if that’s happened.

GDContractor

Which is just like piloting a SR71 with a secret clearance. (he followed up his comment on Prado’s page with a picture of a blackbird.)

sj

That trumps Chevy (aka “Hollywood”) flying a Compass Call C-130. Wonder what his call sign is? BTW, my classmate flew the last record breaking flight of the SR71 to Dulles and the museum. I think Joey had more than a “Secret” clearance.

C2Show

The SR71 Photo I should have mentioned. This guy is a tin foil club member. No wonder why he sides with Prado.

Tony180a

Yes, I do believe this collective group of shit bags sit around with trembling hands and watery eyes telling made up there I was Oh Shit stories. I question if there are any legutimate vets at Disabled Veterans of America post 5. What vet wouldn’t immediately raise the Bullshit Flag on this clown?

I think this group sits around trying to out-Rambo each other with pure unadulterated bullshit.

Holy Batshit Robin! A Secret Clearance? Damn…that is impressive! Sure trumps my TS/SCI and a bunch of other letters following. I bow to the super sleuth of this gent. And, he must be legit because all of my assignments are on my 214. I feel so inadequate in his presence.

Hack Stone

Wow, a Secret Clearance! Color me impressed. Almost as rare as an NDSM.

Tony180a

That’s because he thinks SCI = Super Cool Info

I reckon we need to do our duties as concerned citizens and report these gentlemen for violating the terms on their SF-189’s which they both no doubt signed.

Can we include Shrillery that?

Fat boy here spends a lot of time at the bowling alley shoving God knows what down his suck.

He needs to link up with “His Gayness, The Jayness” Gay Jay Kerwin, who is right down the road.

Big Jay Gay could hook him up with a diet of tossed salad and tube steak. They could then swap stories about their fake claims.

CAARNG 68W

As a proud California Army National Guardsman myself this man is a complete and utter fucking disgrace to the California National Guard’s long and distinguished history in defense of This Nation.

There have been worse that have tarnished it’s legacy, but this Andres Prado has directly diminished it by claiming Service in a far more rigorous and elite unit (the Ranger’s of course).

This has been the first time I’ve ever been Hightly Motivated (pun intended) to call whatever employer, or organization that said Stolen Valor perpetrator is a part of. I will be as professional, courteous and polite as I can be (which is very much so due to my college job of hotel bellman/valet, service industry, etc.)

The hell with this Andres Prado.

Just An Old Dog

Yes, Fuck this guy. He is basically saying that service in the Guard isn’t good enough, so he makes up a story.
I doubt if the fucker even works.
The only thing he is qualified for is suck-starting shit out of constipated hobo’s asses.

A Proud Infidel®™

He looks like a wino taint and nutsack aficionado!

And you all are stupid!

They gave him a ‘SECRET’ clearance for Christ’s sake. They gave it to him, no background, here you go, it is all yours buddy …enjoy SECRET access.

Oh, with the ‘Civil Authorities Authorized to Intervene to Protect National Security Information’ caveat.

No one gets that unless you are LEGIT.

Google it, it happens!

Only here though …

I like to duck with my SSO. You do recall that you are supposed to inform them whenever you come into some money, such as winning the lottery. Every time I win 2 or 3 bucks on a scratcher, I faithfully inform him.

Dave Hardin

I was AWARDED NJP. That always made it sound so nice, I will always contend that I EARNED them.

C2Show

Has anyone received a DD215 or anything from Prado? LOL He is seriously trying to bury the post in his facebook page by posting as many memes as possible.

Not a smart man.

Bobo

I was wondering the same thing. He seemed so eager to get this all straightened out as soon as he could just a few days ago! You’d think that he would at least let us know the names of some of the other soldiers that he served with, or what SF group he was with, or his Ranger class number. You know, stuff that he could pull off the top of his bullet pierced head to have some credibility. Hell, I’d be willing to start with the name of the hospital where he was treated and his physical therapist, or at least a copy of his VA disability card.

Keepin' It Real

Andy Prado – You have been exposed by the Stolen Valor community.

You have the right to remain silent on Facebook and refuse to answer questions. Anything you post can and may be used against you in a court of public opinion. You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to anyone, PM’ing or posting and to have an attorney present during posting now or in the future. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you by the DRC before any posting if you wish.

Chris

Day 3 since exposure and still no documents to prove this badass’s claims. Have we gone quiet on him to let him fade away?

ChipNASA

NEVER!!!!!

rb325th

Well, I for one hope that someone at his Disabled American Veterans Post is friends with him on facebook and sees the posts made there, outing Anthony Prado as a complete fraud.

Keepin' It Real

UPDATE: After Prado offered to provide his DD-214 and DD-215 he now posted that his VA psychiatrist, a Dr. Grider (who checks out as legit), told him to ignore the poster accusing him of Stolen Valor.

Prado plans to due for defamation of character.

He went on to say that his psychiatrist told Prado that the Stolen Valor poster never spent a day in Prado’s boots so they don’t know him and what he’s accomplished, so for Prado not to worry about it. He (psychiatrist) said that with a-holes like that they probably never finished military basic training and were probably not accepted to the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps or Coast Guard.

This was a translation, of course. Here is the unedited version for those of you not on Facebook. You can resume your regularly scheduled programming now.

Andy Prado on his Facebook page:

“My DD 214 and the duty to 15 which is a more detailed discharge papers in the DD 214 don’t worry I have proof to back it up I’m suing him for defamation of character. My psychiatrist Dr. grieder Who is your doctor your dad’s doctors to told me not to respond to the asshole he didn’t use the word asshole but that’s what it was implied because I told him I was going to both my DD 215 to shut him up and he said it be a waste of my time and not to do it that the best way to do it is to get sued for defamation of character. I apologize for this bullshit and I understand where you’re coming from no problem”

“He also said nobody’s what a day my boots so they don’t know me or what I’ve done and not to sweat it or worry about it, I’ve been contacted by other Marines, Who said they been through the same thing with such assholes like that you’re probably never does military fill basic I was not excepted in the Army Air Force Navy Marine Corps Coast Guard”

I wonder if anyone explained to Prado the fact that lawsuits involve this thing called “discovery” – which means the other party’s attorney gets to depose him under oath?

C2Show

Discovery, under oath or court process doesn’t exist to this man. All he cares about is saying he will sue. I think he seems to believe that we are all on the same IQ level as him.

C2Show

Did he delete his post? I see he is still up to the antics with posting pointless memes.

Keepin' It Real

It is there. You just have to scroll FOREVER and expand all comments when you get to the thread where he volunteers his DD-214/DD-215.

Bobo

This is my shocked face.

How about if he gives us the name of just one person he served with in the Ranger Regiment or his team leader in the SF? I don’t need to see his DD-214 if he can give me that and we contact the names parties for verification.

A Proud Infidel®™

Babble, babble, babble, he says this is what his doc said, when will he threaten to sue? Hey Andy Prado, we’re Honey Badgers and WE DON’T GIVE A FUCK.

Keepin' It Real

It is odd he is getting legal advise from his psychiatrist. I bet the psychiatrist has a hard time swallowing the fact that he has been listening to a figment of Prado’s imagination and helping him sort through it all. Must be difficult for a professional to come to grips with. Getting paid helps, though.

It would be ironic if Prado was his rock star patient and he presented him as a case study at a prestigious medical conference. That would be SWEET karma.

A Proud Infidel®™

I wonder if Andy Prado has been lying so much for so long that he now actually believes what he spouts?

Daisy Cutter

Brain damage is a horrible thing.

You think Prado has to wear a bib and eat a lot of pudding?

Tony180a

This asshole is doubling down on stupid. Any fake relatives or friends coming to his defense today? Not one former team mate or squad member coming to defend your honor and integrity….

What pisses me off is the thought of this cock roach getting any type of VA benefit from this obvious bullshit! If the VA bought this crock of shit someone’s ass should be fired!! (I know…. I know….. it’s the VA, of course they did)
