So, here you go. I won’t even go through the uniform violations again. Tomorrow at 8:30 AM I will be on the phone with the FBI in Houston. Now, read some of this guy’s horsehit:

After 20 years in the U.S. Army, I was forced to retire due to the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy that forbids gay men and women from serving openly in the US Military.
At the HRC (Human Rights Campaign) Equality Ball at the Mayflower Hotel, those of us who have been a vocal force against this damaging and unconstitutional policy are quite confident that our new Commander-in-Chief President Barack Obama will sign an Executive Order to abolish the “DADT” policy. Yes We Can!
Peace,Michael Patrick McManus, Lieutenant Colonel, US Army, Retired
And, more with shifting retirement dates. Don’t you just love a blog swarm?
While stationed in Frankfurt, Germany in 1986, then-Sergeant McManus served as Then-General Colin Powell’s personal bodyguard and interpreter; Sergeant McManus came out of the closet as a gay man in 1993 at a Memorial Weekend Requiem in San Francisco honoring the Unknown Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual Soldiers
U.S. Army Captain Michael McManus revealed that General Colin Powell knew he was gay while McManus was serving as his personal bodyguard, and that it made no difference to the general. While stationed in Frankfurt, Germany in 1986, then Sergeant McManus served as Powell’s bodyguard and interpreter, and it was during that time that Sgt. McManus “came out” to him, confiding to him that he was gay.
According to McManus, Gen. Powell, who was at that time the commander of the U.S. Army Fifth Corps, replied, “What do you want me to do about it? As long as youare doing your job well, that does not matter to me. And you are doing an excellent job.”
Capt. McManus came out of the closet as a gay man publicly on Saturday May 29, 1993 at a Memorial Weekend Requiem in San Francisco honoring the Unknown Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual Soldiers. The event was sponsored by the San Francisco Area chapter of the GLAAD and endorsed by many organizations, including the Alexander Hamilton Post of the American Legion.
McManus chose the San Francisco requiem event as the time to come out publicly because he “can no longer be a part of an organization that promotes and supports such blatant discrimination. It is time for people to realize that sexual orientation is a fundamental part of a person’s identity, just as being Asian or African-American.”
Capt. McManus [in 1993] planned on being vocal about the military’s gay and lesbian ban. He served in the U.S. Army Reserves and holds a top secret security clearance. Still fighting the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, Michael retired from the US Army in Feb. 2008 at the rank of LTC (Lieutenant Colonel).
You will notice that this no-talent asclown claims to be buddhist above. Well From the Great Donovan, we find this:
We have received information from the office of HH Dalai Lama that Tenzin Chophak ( Michael Mc Manus) did not have an Audience with His Holiness Dalai Lama on Oct.14 ’99, at which he said he had received the Tsogyal Dzambala Practice, to benefit Land of Medicine Buddha..
While at LMB we gave Tenzin Chophak more than adequate opportunity to improve his work perfomance and in no way was he mistreated.
With Love

I have a feeling he’ll earn that Purple Heart before the week is out …
This is starting to get real fun……..
Curmudgeon…..
Will he get a Purple Heart, or a Purple Ass? My money’s on the latter… 🙂
Take it easy on the POS of folks, he spent, near as I can figure from his own figures, 15 or 16 years in grade,middle and high school. Last I checked, most people do it in 12, maybe 13 years. But he then zipped thru a bachelor’s, masters and PH. D in 17 years, in Physchology, no less? And, he dresses like a fruit fly? Wonder if he ever thought of applying all of that there learning to himself? He could have made a fortune writing about himself, and would only have to split the cash with his other two personalities, the gay soldier and the VS model.
And I hope that the SAS, and anyone else who has an urge to do so, catch up with his sorry ass.
When I was in FRANKFURT in 1986…(That’s right,….I WAS THERE!)… I don’t remember seeing Colin Powell there. I remember some BIG White Guy named…uh…GEN JOWLAN or JOUWLAN or JOULAN. THe guy was a gigantic. Also, “V” corps headquarters was located in the ABRAMS complex. It would be easy to test him. All I need to ask him is “what kind of elevator system does the building have. (THe elevator system is so specialized that if he wasn’t there, he would never answer it right.
There was also something *special* about the fifth floor.
Anyway, while I was there I met some people in “PSD” which stood for “PHYSICAL SECURITY DETACTHMENT” NOT …Personal Security Detail.
Perhaps he’s friends with Elton

ONe last thing, during my years in the service I have accumulated a few medals of my own…..and each and every one of them came with ORDERS OF AUTHORIZATION.
I wonder if this pos can provide his orders?
Why did I just know this guy was a rear tunnel rat
UpNorth, thanks for the tip about taking it easy on the smoldering pile of dogshit, and I appreciate you attempting to keep everyone’s blood pressure in check, however, I hope you don’t mind if I don’t take your advice. I think whatever he did, whether he served, or not (I’m still not convinced since the little bastard can’t even get a uniform right), it doesn’t matter to me. He has desecrated the honor of every swinging dick, and woman, that has put on that uniform. He needs to have his junk smash into humus, period, end of story.
I graduated from DLI in 1985 as a Korling. ATT one did not just get assigned a billet as a Krautling unless you had completed Russian first, served a tour and then came back to DLI. [The Germans utilized a lot of Soviet military terms as East Germany was under occupation ATT]. I was 26 years old when I graduated. I just turned 52.
If he joined at 18, completed Russian and advanced schooling [18-24 months], served a tour [2-3 years] returned to take German [9 months], served another tour [2-3 years], were looking at nearly 9 years of service which would make him as old as me.
I hope the FBI crushes his nuts and makes peanut butter out of them.
Oh, well, poor fella. This is what “The General” wasaspiring towith those black wings.
Now, why is it that Steven Segal always gets mixed up with this crap? The way I see it, “The General” was angling for his own reality TV show for the ‘kinder, gentler’ Military Channel, called, My Little Wings And Other Army Stories.
Awww… he took down his Facebook page. I was kinda hoping to amuse myself reading the comments people left on his wall!
I am…amazed. I mean, what on earth? What was all that? Have the aliens landed?
I don’t think I have the mental capacity for weirdness to fully comprehend whatever it is that guy was/is up to.
That didn’t just max out the weirdometer, it flat-out broke it.
Are you sure this isn’t something related to bringing back the X-files TV series or something?
OldTrooper, I should have posted my snark alert with my post, I was really going for the fact that said douchenozzle took an inordinate amount of time to do his schooling, not encouraging anyone to cut him any slack whatsoever. And I concur, his junk should be smashed, hopefully by a squad of people who’ve actually served honorably.
There is one part of his profile that I’m positive is true, he has “been ALL around the world”. And that weren’t no elephant he saw.
[…] perhaps it was, for one night. But the party’s . . . over. Uniforms mean […]
I’m not in the military, but something tells me that MC Hammer parachute pants aren’t part of the army blue mess uniform:
http://tinyurl.com/ybj57v4
Oh my oh my… I don’t know that this will be a bad thing for him. I think he’s going to be thrilled. He’s going to be the Prom Queen of cell block 23. BOHICA.
First post. Awesome blog. I read it every day.
This guy is hilarious. Out of all of his obvious BS, the thing that struck me was his claim to have a “specialty” in “PSYOPS.”
As an actual 37F graduate of the USAJFKSWCS (he leaves the United States Army off of that name, strike one) I can tell you that the faux pas of referring to the MOS as PSYOPS with an S at the end will get you smoked hardcore and you will never forget to always refer to it as PSYOP.
Sorry… was in an evil mood and e-mailed this link to whodareswins.com to see how our SAS Brothers feel about this anal wart.
I’ve never been a military man, but I have an abiding interest in Buddhism.
There is no way this guy was ever a Buddhist monk. Add that to his fakery.
I am glad you guys outted this douchebag. Whether or not this guy ever served, he is a disgrace to Humanity as a whole. Plus I am pretty sure he never served. He should be sent to Gitmo and locked in a dark room with nothing but a stool, a rope, (instructions on how to make a noose since I am sure he would never in a million figure it out himself) while being forced to listen to Barney songs 24 / 7.
Surprise surprise that this guy was at the party for the douchenozzle mayor of Beantown.
I suspect he spent some time in uniform, but not enough to really understand the timelines or requirements for all the baubles he has padded his uniform and resume with. You all know these guys, they just aren’t quite there even in service. Between the 2004 photo (FA Red) and the new one he has picked up quite a few badges including a second award of the CIB which is not awarded outside of infantry let alone MI or FA. I suspect that red was flashy but those cannon cockers are way too talkative about the technical aspects of the trade so he switched to MI, murky, dark, I can’t really tell you I look at satellite photos of Nork dirt holes…less questions. It ties in well with the CIA pin.
The LTC rank on his resume is also pretty rank. It takes three years in grade to retire as a LTC. The average LTC today will gain that possibility at 20 years of service, but they have a one year advantage to CPT over the good BG(4 years versus his year group at 5). If he were double below the zone to MAJ and LTC then that would have taken him to 19 years of service. But wait, he was enlisted, spent 6 months to 18 months at DLI and would have to go to OCS and all of those schools, airborne, pathfinder etc.
Unless…..he was a direct commission. They do that for shortage specialties like Medical, Dental, Psychology majors. I have helped out more than a few Dentist 04s and others with their uniforms. Great people, but the shake and bake program is a little light on UNIFORMS, DISCIPLINE, or MILITARY CUSTOMS and COURTESY.
So in essence, the only medals he didn’t claim was the Defense Of Caprica ribbon while on the Battlestar Galactica, and his starburst cluster from fighting on Hoth?
I was so intent on the BS he put on his uniform I missed what is on his resume but didn’t make it to the Blues, TheDonovan picked up on one “What no Ranger Tab?”, the other is more telling,he claims to be Special Forces but does not show the tab.
I know one SF Officer who wears Airborne wings and the SF tab, he has four other badges and tabs. “The others aren’t important enough to bother with.” (pre-2003) I can’t imagine anyone completing the Q-Course not wearing the tab.
A SF SFC I met at AASLT School wore everything. SF, Ranger, Airborne, CBT Diver, Pathfinder etc. (Old BDUs) He wore three per day and they rotated. I asked him why he needed AASLT, and he said he taught it. He was afraid someone might ask him about when he qualified so he needed the badge for appearances. He knew far more than the black hats and they were well trained.
Okay I need to stop, fake, fake, fake. Even if he did serve he pissed all over it. Send him to jail.
I noticed on one of the frontal pics that there was some stuff on his right lapel, also. Can anyone make out what fluffy bunnyfeet has on the right lapel?
I am glad I keep duck tape at my desk when I saw this turd with a CIB, let alone the Legion of Merit!
If you need someone local to contact FBI Houston let me know.
Sorry, cannot see straight after the eye bleach.
the duck tape if to keep ones head from exploding.
What No Blue Max?
This guy is probably the first guy to bad mouth the Military in private, yet will wear a uniform borrowed from Micheal Jackson add a few colorful medals and talk about how tough he is.
I’ll bet the closest General Ballduster McSoulpatch got to the military was the naked GI Joe doll he used to spoon with every night, while crying into his pillow about the state of the AV room at his High School.
Please Judge… Throw the book at him!
[…] This Ain’t Hell has the gory and rather obviously bovine feces laced details. […]

this guy is so ridiculus all I can do is laugh.
fake spook, fake commando, fake general, fake PHD, fake monk… I wonder if he is really gay or if he is faking that too???
send the SAS a mapquest link… then send the remains to the FBI.

He’s wearing a BRITISH SAS insignia on his uniform!
The CIA patch is truly terrific too.
OMG, that’s a combo of laughable, infuriating and pathetic.
Oh, and he’s also in a photo with Steven Segal, who is also a big phony. Segal claims he worked for the CIA and had all kinds of paramilitary training and experience. 2 nutcases side by side.
If this pinhead is a BG then I personally commanded the assault on Normandy. Seriously, he looks like the poster boy for moveon.org. Find him. Arrest him. Convict him.
By the way, doesn’t “Steven Segal” look remarkably like a mannequin/blow-up-doll?
I say instead of the FBI, we buy him a plane ticket that stops at the home station of every unit impersonated. With long layovers at each place. Oh and maybe accidentally e-mail the iteniary to each unit.
Man, oh man! I am a proud graduate of the VA’s drug rehab and now have 6 years clean. You can imagine some of the whoppers I was subjected to while there (6 months, God bless). It’s sad, since as long as you served you are ok with me. Anyhow, NO ONE EVER CAME CLOSE to this prick. I mean, adding a couple jumps, or some cooks saying they were in the unit they supported, eh, I can live with that. This cat needs to do some time in the stripey hole. I still can’t believe my eyes….
Actually, looking at the Segal pic, it looks more and more like a photoshop.
“Vice President of Asian Operations, Samaya, Inc”. According to Manta, a business web site, Samaya, inc. has anywhere from 1 to 4 employees. Dunn & Bradstreet says 2. And it’s a tobacco store. Ballduster just keeps on impressing.
As a 2 time grad of DLI (Korean Basic, 80-81 and Korean Intermediate 85-86) I cannot imagine why anyone would try to fake up a background that included it…
OTOH, that was back when they still had beer in the vending machines in the dayroom stateside, and encouraged you to get shitfaced on the weekend for “stress relief”, so maybe he lost his mind. (And someone should kick his ass, for therapy.)(FWIW, in ’84 DLI was big enough that they annexed the old Letterman hospital at the Presidio of San Fran, but I don’t think German was a language they taught there.)
(And, no,here was no “testing out” of languages at DLI, but it was possible to take the DLPT in other languages than what you were studying.)
Tested out? Besides Drang’s on the money comment, my mom raised me as a Russian speaker but her dialect was was more like Ukranian/Polish (ethnic Russians from Lvov) and I BARELY passed the DLPT. Anyone with 4 weeks in the Army can see the gaping holes in this goof’s tale. Needs a smack or three…
McAnus?
(I can’t believe nobody else picked up on that.)
I was stationed in Berlin as a PL/RU from ’84-’92 with a lot of GM linguists that went to DLI during ’84-’85 and have put out feelers to see if any of them know this douchebag. I’ll let you know if I get any feedback. (I hope his military service is *all* a lie. I just can’t stomach someone who served even a day doing this s&%t!)
This Fraud has been arrested and charged for stolen Valor.

The Houston Chronicle (local newspaper) is also covering this story:
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/6854544.html
My Dad did 2 tours in Korea and 1 in Vietnam; this guy’s not fit to lick my Dad’s boots.
WOW! I actually know this guy! Not only were we fraternity brothers, but we shared a room together in Chiangmai, Thailand. All of us who knew him felt the elevator didn’t go to the top floor, and he talked almost non-stop about his personal relationship with His Holiness Dalai Lama, and that Steven Segal called him all the time.
While we were in Chiangmai from Nov 2003 to Jan 2004, he supposedly received several phone calls from Steven and once a personal email inviting him to go to the world premier of Tom Cruise’s new movie, “The Last Samurai”. Of course he wouldn’t let me see this email.
I eventually had to change the locks on the door and escort him out of the building because I truly feared for my life. A week or so later I moved because I just couldn’t get rid of the feeling he was going to do something.
When this story broke, I wasn’t at the least surprised, but certainly deeply saddened because it showed me without doubt he has deteriorated mentally instead of healed. DANG!
EXTENSIVE criminal history regarding impersonations:

deep seated issues no doubt
Aren’t celebrity pictures great! How they do prove access and influence. Here’s one from California who seems untouchable with more press releases than the actual celebrities!
