More or Les Putting Elko NV on the Map

| July 30, 2019

Just when you thought it was over – there’s more.  Just like those commercials when they say — “but wait, that’s not all.”

Since it is getting challenging finding anything significant in the comments due to the sheer number as well as the formatting, we thought we would highlight a couple of recent developments.

1) NV AG – Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford’s office has been submitted a full and comprehensive report complete with evidence, links, photos, and other pertinent information.  The AG’s oversight was specifically requested because there seems to be a “circling of the wagons” in Carlin, Elko and Spring Creek.  This strikes me as strange because anybody that knows me well as a friend has been told that if I’m ever full of the brown stuff, I expect them to tell me.  Often, I’ve heard — “Steve, I love you like a brother but you’re wrong on this one.”  Apparently, Les’ friends define friendship differently.

2) PHOTOS – New photos have surfaced that show a “MSG/E-8” Les Brown speaking at a local area children’s Christian academy for their 2018 veteran’s day event with his cammies on.  Sewn to those cammies are the rank of E-8, Master Parachutist Badge, Ranger Tab above the MP sleeve, and the coveted Combat Infantryman’s Badge (CIB) which is a clear violation of the federal Stolen Valor Act of 2013.  We know that some people around Elko, Carlin and Spring Creek are very forgiving of Les, and in the eyes of some he can do no wrong, but there is no getting around the fact that this is a federal crime.  Let me repeat that – this is a federal crime.  No more hiding behind the vests. This is clear and indisputable evidence. I would not want Les around my kids and being an influence on them, so I imagine others may feel the same.  The academy said that many gave Les a hug afterward.

3) NATIONAL GUARD UNIT – Members of Les Brown’s National Guard unit have stated that he missed drills and was eventually kicked out.  All of the years that he served may not be “good” years since a Guardsman has to fulfill minimum requirements for drills and one two week active duty per year unless it is waived.  Members are being solicited for sworn statements since this entire case may have to go the distance.  Les could save us some work by coming clean, but it seems he is not going to blink first so we have to put the necessary time in.  I will guarantee you this – if he blinks at a later date after a considerable amount of time has been put into this, people are not simply going to shrug their shoulders and toss the work to the side.  Les had his chance to come clean and he squandered it.

4) NPRC REVISITED – We pressed a senior technician at the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) to double and triple-check Les Brown’s military records. We supplied both DD-214’s – the one that he had for “IN SUPPORT OF DESERT STORM” and the one that was for “IN SUPPORT OF OPERATION GARDEN PLOT.”  The NPRC holds the official military records for Lester Kent Brown.

Since it is the policy of the NPRC to rarely release DD-214s, the technician was provided these DD-214s and asked to compare with what was on file for Les Brown.  The senior technician took considerable time to review these along with Les’ records and confirmed that they don’t have any information beyond the 1994 period. Further, the technician said that the 1992 DD 214 we provided is the last one that is shown in his record.  The technician also tried the Electronic system and said that no records were found there so said that it appears 1994 was the end of his Les Brown’s service records.

5) RETIRED MILITARY ID CARD – Although we have not seen it, we have been told that Les Brown is flashing around a retired military ID card with the rank of MSG on it. Based on his military records, this card simply cannot be authentic.  That is probably why he is not posting it.  If he has used this card for goods or services, he has a lot of explaining to do.  Maybe someone that worked at a place where Les has used this card will come forward?  Until that day, we challenge Les to post a photo of this ID card.  He won’t of course, because it is probably designed for people in his “circle of trust” so he doesn’t have any defectors, but we’ve seen a few defectors already that are wondering about a few things that Les told them that don’t add up.  Yeah, your instincts are good – question, question, and question.

If Les has a retired military ID in his possession, I think that should be the very first thing that law enforcement confiscate and take a photo of.  Do it before he destroys it because he’ll soon be denying that he ever had one and the people that he showed it too are going to be told another story such as they didn’t see what they thought they saw.

SUMMARY

To recap, we would like to provide some photos with annotations provided to us by members of this community.  These are provided for the benefit of civilians out there that do not understand the names and significance of medals.

The leverage of rank and combat experience is clearly established going back to 2010 and 2011.

Because books are closed due to being a non-profit not earning over $50,000 per year, it would take somebody in law enforcement or a governmental body to require an audit.  Because Stolen Valor and misrepresentation are closely tied to past fundraising, it is my opinion that there is potential fraud involved but law enforcement would have to make the final determination.  Since Les has worked or is working as a law enforcement officer, it may take some oversight to ensure that any potential investigation is fair and impartial.

The big questions are these:

  • Is Les Brown going to single-handily put Carlin, Elko and Spring Creek Nevada on the map?
  • Will Les be known as the Brown Stain on their community?

Things are just getting started.  This should prove to be interesting to watch.

To Les Brown – Look at this as an opportunity.  An opportunity to show the people around you how you handle adversity.  People want to be inspired.  Inspire us – show some integrity.  Your behavior so far only displays the age-old tactics that many a Stolen Valor thief before you have employed.  Be different.  Do it for the kids.  Reach down deep and say something like:

I didn’t think I was good enough, so I created a version of myself that wasn’t authentic.  You tell the thing the way it ought to be because it is much better than how it is.  I did not trust those closest to me to accept me for what I am. I see now that I hurt others.  I see now that I pulled others unfairly into covering for me when I was discovered.  They are loyal and good friends, but they don’t deserve to be tainted by what I brought upon them.  Neither does this good city.

I remain hopeful and optimistic to hear something like this, but I won’t be holding my breath.

HOW MANY threads so far and Les Brown is STILL an unrepentant dildoheaded duckfucker and catfish cocksucker!

The Les Brown story just keeps on giving. He is earning a special place in TAH.

Maybe he’s hoping that the Narputo run on Groom Lake Area 51 will distract people from his sordid sordidity and he can slink back to his spot, unwatched.

This guy is a piece of work! His Ranger tab is seen on with white thread, indicating he went in the winter. This poser knows his stuff.

Is that scuba bubble behind the weird mp badge haphazardly affixed to his breast pocket? Odd, that. Puzzling. Because I have never known any scuba military po po. And can anyone identify that SSI?

At this point, this is beyond sad. This dude may actually believe some of his own garbage. How many people up the chain have been fooled now, and is that whole club full of posers who dont qualify for more, uh, legitimate vet organizations?

My first wife, now known as “the Ex-Monster” was a compulsive liar and I’m sure she actually believed some of the whoppers she told!

billo

There’s actually a biologic basis for that. It turns out that memory works by moving data from encoded long term regions into areas of short term memory, where you can examine it. After you are through with the memory, you place it back into long-term memory.

While that memory is in short term memory, it can be modified by suggestion (or even erased). Thus, the memory you place back into your long term memory may not be the memory you took out. Over time, the changes can accumulate, and your “memory” of the event will be both false and seemingly real.

This technique is called “memory reconsolidation,” and is used by some as a treatment for such things as phobias and PTSD.

As an aside, I’ve often wondered if

Of import here, people who consistently lie about their past often come to believe their lies because in “reliving” the lie, they reconsolidate the memory to the point that, to them, it is the “real” memory of an actual past.

As an aside, I’ve often wondered if a lot of this stuff about wearing inappropriate badges, etc. might be alleviated in some folk by having the equivalent of challenge coins but as patches. I have a bag of challenge coins from my days in the Army that I love, and they involve units and operations I had little to do with. I know people who have made displays on the wall of all the coins they collected over the years. You could to the same thing with patches, which would allow people to display support, etc. without making particular claims.

I can’t help but think that with some (though obviously not all) of these people, that would be sufficient.

Q: “And can anyone identify that SSI?”

A: 49th MP Brigade, CA ANG

So, I guess Lester was sent to Ranger school by the California Army National Guard’s 49th MP Brigade. Yeah, r-i-g-h-t. I know they are always making room in Ranger classes for leg NG E-4’s. Because the 75th Ranger Regt. with its three battalions has a shortage of people who want and need to go to Ranger School.

There is an old proverb “Curses are like Chickens, they always come home to roost.”

Granted, Les Brown has not cursed us or the massses but rather himself.

These chickens have been feeding on industrial strength bullshit and are chomping at the bit.

Thanks to all for not letting this die.

There’s been some commentary among his “waggoneers” about about the pathetic nature of people that just want to tear someone down in order to make themselves feel better.

Okay, however, I would submit that this merry band of Dickweeds is attempting to preserve something, not tear it down. The honor and the standards that exist behind the rank, badges, and ribbons that Les Brown pins on his vest and BDU’s are real and immutable. And to some of those that he claims to represent, namely, the POW’s and MIA’s, it is all they have left… the deeds that they accomplished and honors they earned the old-fashioned way, before giving their last measure of devotion.

How dare this son of a bitch prance around in his clown suit and make a mockery of something so sacred, and do it on the backs of those that have no voice.

Well, our respective cults do have their own cultures, so I guess I understand the disconnect between the Citizen and the Veteran.

rgr769

What motivates me is that fact that I resent phonies of every stripe. I firmly believe that if one cannot tell the truth about one’s military service cuz it isn’t very exciting, then one should just shut-up about it. If I was just a mess-kit repairman in the Viet of the Nam and I wasn’t proud of what I did, I would just not talk about it. But these narcissistic “look at me” boyz just can’t seem to do that. Wish we could ask each of them directly, “well where wuz you really when it was time to ruck-up?” in whatever combat zone. In the case of Lester Brown, he was in Kaiserslautern with the good beer, bratwurst and the frauleins. Bet there was no shortage of real warriors who would have been happy to trade places with him.

Facebook post from the wife of Carlin NV Police Department officer John Rowe, who (while on duty) prematurely and publicly declared Les Brown to be innocent of “false accusations.”
The Carlin PD chief rebuked him for it, and said John Rowe does not speak for the Carlin Police Department.

What the F–k is a “Retired Badge?”

All the Army gave me was:

– A blue DD Form 2 (RETIRED);

– A certificate suitable for framing
[DD 363A, Aug 99 Previous edition may be used];

– Permanent Orders, U.S. Army Human Resources Command PO07-946524 containing those magic words: “Authorized retired pay under Title 10 U.S.C. §12731.”

but no “Retired Badge.”

Dammit, I want a Retired Badge!

(I’d also like to see any of the above three documents in the name of Lester Kent Brown).

A theory on the “retirement badge”:

She might be referring to an award given at retirement, such as an MSM, and called the medal a badge.

So it could be that Les Brown has a few decorations he has acquired and has been showing them off. He wouldn’t have them if he was never awarded them. Right…..

The Stranger

Maybe, but I haven’t heard of too many E4s getting an MSM. Especially not those who get bounced for not attending drill.

And, heaven forbid, if there is proof that he has used organization monies for his own use…

TEACHER: Uh, I don’t think so. He said something about the need to spend more time with his family. Besides, I think the court order restricts him to not being closer than 50 yards from any school.

Morgan Blake

Any chance he skyrocketed from E-4 to E-8 from 1992 to 1994?

ChipNASA

In my educated opinion, not a chance, mathematically…..

See here

http://www.army-portal.com/pay-promotions/enlisted-promotions.html

E-4-Automatic promotion with 24 months TIS and 6 months TIG. With waiver, 18 Months TIS and 3 months TIG.

E-5-Earliest Promotion can occur is at 18 months TIS (Time in Service) with six months TIG (Time in Grade).

E-6-Board appearance at 72 months TIS and eight months TIG. Earliest Promotion can occur is at 72 months TIS with 10 months TIG.

E-7-Primary Zone consideration starts to occur at around 35 months TIG as an E-6.
Requirements for Secondary Zone — varies based on the needs of the Army but for 2010 required a minimum of 23 months TIG as an E-6.

E-8-Primary Zone consideration starts at around 41 months.
Requirements for Secondary Zone —varies based on the needs of the Army but usually requires 30 months TIG as a minimum for consideration.

So there you have it.

It’s impossible. Mathematically. That always seems to trip the fakers up.

Ret_25X

yeah…nope.

I went from SPC to SGM inside 18 years AFS.

BUT…I joined as a SPC with a BA and most of an MBA finished…

I also “checked” all of the boxes of schools, NCO of QTR, deployments, etc.

AND…I did not have to “compete” for a billet…

I have seen ARNG and USAR soldiers since 2002 make rank fast, but SPC to MSG inside 2 years without good years, deployments to IZ or AF, or mandatory schools–not going to happen!

This guy is a faker in every way. Couldn’t make it in uniform so he “makes” it the easy cheesy route…

My all time favorite and THE BEST Motion Picture…EVAH!

If you haven’t read the book, you need to. The original Title, “Gone to Texas” by Forrest Carter, is based on historical facts and many of the characters there were real people. Another tome, “True Crime in the Civil War (sic)” by Tobin T. Buhk goes into detail on the acts of Sen Jim Lane, Quantrill, Bloody Bill ect.

My paraphrasing above was in fact a Salute to Lone Watie.

Unlike the lying embellishing POS Lester “The Brown Stain” Kent Brown, all of these men did actually fight for what they believed in, right or wrong, and none of them hid behind children or sockpuppets.

BTW I hope I don’t offend anybody here, but has anyone ever met an actual, verified veteran who would wear a BDU jacket to an event like this? Ever?

I was invited to my granddaughter’s Veteran’s day celebration last year and I honestly would have been embarrassed to show up wearing an old BDU top.

So when I see these old “veterans” walking around wearing their BDU jackets (some of whom claim to have served in Vietnam – more than a decade before the BDU was even approved as the official Army uniform in 1981) festooned with badges and patches, I just wonder “WTF?”

I mean, if you really want to “respect and honor” the uniform, how about: Wear it correctly or not at all?

GDContractor

Sorry to reply and not address your question, but the SOB was also wearing BDU trousers (bloused in his combat boots) , AND a pistol belt and sidearm holster.

In addition to all of the other complaints about this asscrack, there is the BDU thing.

I have to reacquaint myself with the Regulation (which is a DoD Reg), but I’m not sure any uniform other than “A’s” are allowed upon ETS/Retirement…which is one of the reasons we old farts don’t wear uniforms…LOL

But like I stated…I have to recheck that one…

And let’s not forget about this parade. It was too far away to make out, but it does appear to be the same clown suit he wore in front of the kids.

MI Ranger

Is it just me or do his Jump wings on this uniform look like Senior Parachutists wings (no wreath around the star)?
Since he doesn’t normally sport the Combat Diver (scuba bubble) on his “Vest”, I am wondering if this uniform was acquired from somewhere else, he added the MSG rank ad started wearing it…not originally his.

rgr1480

But he’s rocking that “Ranger Roll” on his PC!

I think those are Senior Wings, whereas the metal wings on his vest are Master Wings.

rgr769

Blew the pic up on my computer. You can clearly see he is wearing a 75th Ranger scroll as a combat patch. This is consistent with his wearing of the 75th Ranger Regt. DUI on his vest. Ol’ Lester “Brown Stain” Brown is apparently claiming he jumped into Panama with the 75th cuz I don’t recall what the 75th did in Desert Storm. But then one’s war stories don’t have to have some historical accuracy.

Claw

Or he may be claiming a Zero Dark Thirty phone call made him jump into Grenada while home on mid-tour leave from Johnston Island./s

rgr769

I just blew up the school photo and he is rocking Senior Parachutist’s wings. Guess he met all the requirements for Master Blaster after he “retired.” It is amazing what one can accomplish in the CA and NV National Guard when one has never served in any airborne unit.

Sigh. I can’t fit into my old BDUs. I can’t wear them anywhere…

Veritas Omnia Vincit

I agree Martin, and I also don’t wish to offend anyone because really how anyone dresses if of no real concern to me unless they are full of shit then I wonder what the fuck is wrong with them.

As for me, I don’t wear anything that indicates I was a veteran. I like to listen to other people talk about themselves before I decide if I intend to share that fact with them now or ever.

I’m not ashamed to have served, but as a non-lifer that was a small period of my life and is hardly the only thing that defines my identity. It’s an important component but so is thirty years of donating my time as a volunteer for a youth program, or running some businesses for several different owners over the years…

I wonder when I see a guy wearing his old uniform if he’s like those guys who still wear their college or high school sports stuff when they’re in their forties, fifties or sixties if they do it because that was the best moment of their life and little since then has been as good to them as those moments in time. It’s why I listen and let them tell all about themselves first.

Some folks are stuck in their past because their present sucks, some folks just like to reminisce and others like to live in today’s moments. To each their own as long as you aren’t full of shit when doing it I guess.

rgr769

What get’s me is people who can’t seem to get over high school. Guess I don’t understand its importance to some because I didn’t like high school, didn’t do much there. But college was interesting and fun; made some lifelong friends there. But I rarely talk about either. On the other hand, my Army service was very defining for me. I never again had as much responsibility and engaged in as many dangerous and cool activities.

The Stranger

Glory Days,
Yeah, they’ll pass you by
Glory Days,
In the wink of an eye…

Same here, I really don’t think much about high school. Been almost 30 years since I graduated and I’ve seen more places and done more than most people I know. That’s on the military and civilian side. Life is good and just keeps getting better.

Comm Center Rat

VOV You’ve eloquently described my viewpoint exactly. I did manage to string together 21 years of (broken) military service and qualify for retired pay, but it’s not what defines me. My most meaningful and impactful service came as a volunteer in church-based ministries (ex. hunger relief) and government/non-profit employment working with at risk youth. As I near 60, I still consider earning the rank of Eagle Scout to be my single greatest achievement. A decade in scouting forged my values and developed critical life and leadership skills well before I wore a military uniform.

When I worked for the VA, I often encountered veterans who immediately upon meeting would begin regaling me with tales of derring-do. Until I told them, they had no clue I was a veteran little on retired military. After learning my military background they’d usually STFU and let me complete my interview. Nothing wrong with being proud of your military service as long as it’s truthful.

Mustang Major

I bet Les Brown couldn’t get out fast enough when he was in the regular army serving as an ammo maintenance man and later in the National Guard serving as a once monthly MP. Now he looks for every opportunity to play dress up in an army a uniform with patches he never earned. Go figure.

Desert Storm patch on the back of his vest. Disgusting given that he never served in that conflict (much less any other one) according to official records.

Les Brown was activated, and served (Honorably) as backfill to Germany, just as many other National Guard and reserve units had done in 1990 and 1991.

My activated National Guard unit just happened to be shipped to Saudi Arabia, and some of us (not all) saw a bit of Iraq, and Kuwait, too.

“Unappreciated, unwanted, and unliked.”

Poetrooper

The indelible mark of a true fool is to foolishly attempt to defend the clearly indefensible when exposed as a flagrant fraud and visibly verifiable violator of federal law. This fool hasn’t just placed himself under a national microscope, he’s now under a magnifying glass that’s focusing the hot beam of truth and honesty on his fraudulent claims.

There’s no way he’ll survive this intact, proving the certainty that Les is less…now facing more– more future grief than his limited intellect can possibly envision.

The thing that bothers me most, and this includes the kids, is that it always seems that a non-combat veteran has some uncontrollable need to get out in front and speak about what it is like to be in combat. They glorify it to some degree and they don’t really set an accurate tone.

The people that truly had those experience tend to be solemn and quiet, but the public perception and history seem to be dictated by those that talk the loudest.

Coming back to the kids – I think it is honorable to show pride in military service, but it is a disservice to glorify the horrors of war – and Les Brown seems all too willing to fill the void of willingness to talk about it even though he has ZERO combat experience.

This is the reason why Les Brown needs to be quietly (or loudly) escorted off the stage. To those that think he should be left alone and given a voice… because, well, he seems like a nice guy and they never had a problem with him… those people are part of the problem of being enablers. That includes the Elko Daily Free Press. They gave Les Brown a platform when they didn’t know, and now that they know they gave him a platform to defend himself with no rebuttal. If I was a parent in Elko I would be outraged.

Otherwise, what is the message? It’s OK to lie as long as what you are saying makes people feel good?

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with a real Vietnam vet and he was the most professional guy I ever met. He was soft spoken but commanded respect that well – you just had to be there. A fun guy to joke around with and he knew a ton about guns and history. On days when the company would honor all vets, he would wear a pin – never old uniform like some dudes. When he died I felt a loss equal to a family member. Then you get ass hats like Les..

My father, who served 4 tours in Vietnam, used to travel a lot for work and the only thing he wore was a tiny RVN campaign ribbon on the lapel of his jacket.

Lester Kent Brown aka “Brown Stain” Brown is making $2268.75 per month as a courtroom Bailiff. He must be living large with Master Sergeant’s retired pay to go with that salary.

Carlin Police Officer John Rowe should lose his job over his public statements. I rarely call for someone’s job, but in this case it appears to be the only outcome in order for the Carlin Police Department to save face and instill public confidence again. Here are a few things to back up my assertion. * John Rowe is not an expert in military documents. * John Rowe has the ability to remove his post from Facebook, but he leaves it out there even though he was supposedly admonished for his behavior by the CPD. * Further, if John Rowe was admonished, you would think that he would at the very least ask his wife to not comment any further, but she also implied that she authenticated Les Brown’s alleged retired military ID card… i.e. “badge.” Yet she fans the flames on an issue John Rowe should stay away from. They can, of course, claim that Tabatha’s voice is different than John’s but if John was truly under fire by the CPD for his public statements, it seems he would not want his wife to fan the flames and make it worse. Nope, it only seems like they modified their tactics. * Both statements by Carlin Police Officer John Rowe and his wife Tabatha are non-attributable. Meaning, this is a very cheap way to try and sway public opinion but at the same time not take any responsibility for their statements. If, or should I say “When,” it is determined that the military documents and Les’ retired military ID do not support his claims, then Les can easily say the retired military ID card does not exist and he never claimed he had one. John and Tabatha Rowe can then say they were not speaking in any official capacity and are not experts. NO, you can’t have it both ways. * So, if you are going to the betting window and put your money down on a horse, you don’t get that money back if your horse does not win. I believe that John, and by proxy his wife Tabatha,… Read more »

Well, if he starts threatening anyone with some sort of “retribution” for speaking ill of his butt buddy, then he’s obviously overstepping his authority, period. But if he makes a nuisance of himself with someone who disagrees with his “point of view/belief” in re: Les Brown, that’s entirely different.

rgr769

Real, I think you mean “fake” retired ID card, as we know that NPRC has checked their records three times and confirmed that Lester Kent Brown of Carlin, NV is not retired and he ended his NG service in 1994. Both Rowe and his wife are incompetent to assess and comment upon Brown’s military service and documents, as neither of them ever served in the military. Since Lester Kent Brown began his military service in January of 1979, it is mathematicially impossibe for him to have served in the Army and its reserve components for twenty (20) years, as he claims.

of the PTSD you don’t have even though you are going to
claim “unemployability” after this SV tornado gets done wringing out your shorts.

You are a vaginal prolapse.

Texas will let you put an AAM on your license plate… hey, “military decorations,” you know.

Holy Christ they have a lot of options.

They even have one that the Brown Stain WOULD qualify for: Desert Storm National Defense Service Medal.

For the Army, its…

Yep. It’s a real thing.

“The Retired Service ID Badge is ranked last in order of precedence, behind all other ID badges”

What about my Walmart super shopper badge?
You can’t just buy one of those.
You have to earn points. And shop. A lot.

That’s the retired lapel pin. I got those. They issued me 2 or 3 when I retired along with my flag and certificates

Well, it does beat the active duty Minuteman “boner” lapel pin…

Ah ok. Holy shit I guess there is a full size “badge”

That’s $15.50 I won’t be wasting

Who knew? Another badge, but for retired career badge hunters. When Lester finds out about it, it will show up on his vest of many colors and patches.

Thank you T1B:
I never knew that “Badge” existed.
So now I see why a civilian associated with the Carlin Police Department might write:

Both of these sites are whacked!! I have personally seen Les’ retired badge. He is a man of honor and would never do anything to misrepresent our military. Thank you Les Brown for all you do for this community!!
=========================================

I’m going to assume that Lester Kent Brown bought himself one of these “Retiree Badges” (that are NOT controlled items, and that do NOT require proof of retired status to purchase from the civilian market) and perhaps THAT is what his minions are reciting as “I have seen PROOF.”

26Limabeans

Yes but did HE pay for it?
Check, cash, money order or……?

I wonder if Les Brown is also a member of the Radio Shack Battery of the Month Club as well?

There IS a database. Somewhere.
You just know it.

WALMART CASHIER: A six-pack of beer and tampons. That’ll be ten dollars.

LES BROWN: Can I get a retired veteran’s ten percent discount?

WALMART CASHIER: I’m gonna need to see your retired military badge.

More like a sixpack of Natural light, tampons and a tube of KY!

It is still there. Rowe posted that comment on the POW*MIA Elko Awareness Association page vs. CPD and it is still there. Surprised they did not ask him to remove it.

Are MP and TAH the only SV “hack blogs”?
asking for a friend “out west”.

rgr769

No, we cannot forget Guardians of the Green Beret. They are major exposers of Green Beret posers. Also, there is Chief Shipley, as you know, who takes care of the fake SEALs. But his site is now behind a paywall.

I was driving with my Dad to mandatory family outing time last Sunday, and there was this big, honkin truck with a CIB emblazoned on the back window. Dad said, “Don’t you have something like that. You should do that to show it off.”

No, Sir. I know I did it.
That’s all I need to know.

Saw a pickup with a huge RANGER decal taking up the entire rear window. It was not a Ford Ranger decal. It was Army motiff.
It was around town for a few days then disappeared. I was a wee bit skeptical.

To Tom Wulf — you’ve been silent lately but I’d like to ask you to think about a few things.

Have you realized yet that Les Brown has lied to you? You have to at least have some kind of inkling about all of this.

That means that your defense of Les has changed from him being an authentic combat veteran to a defense of protecting someone you know is a liar.

Doesn’t that make you feel filthy? Doesn’t that make you feel like you need to take a shower?

At one time you raised your hand and swore to uphold the integrity of the United States military. Are you so quick to abandon that? Loyalty to a friend is admirable, but not when he has committed a crime. I say that with declaration because the photographic evidence is undeniable.

So, where are you Tom? We haven’t heard your voice in a while. Do you still actually believe that ruse about the classified service?

Why don’t you order Les Brown’s records for yourself? That way, you will get direct and independent confirmation of your buddy’s military service. Don’t live in denial. Ask yourself what you are defending here.

Cowboy up and do the right thing.
