Kenneth Crocheron of Draper, Utah; the Ronald MacDonald of Stolen Valor
JD Hinton from Professional Soldiers sends over some pictures for your entertainment on this slow news Saturday. The photos are of fake Colonel Kenneth Crocheron. Do we really need a FOIA?
Yes, your eyes aren’t deceiving you – those are bloused jungle boots with those greens.
Some folks have already done FOIAs on him, but do we really need one? Take your best shot.
ADDED: Here’s a bonus shot. It looks like it was taken in a mirror because the “US” is inverted;
ADDED Again: For those of you who think this is a one-time thing that Crocheron is sorry about, here’s a photo of him wearing his faker finery on his little motorcycle thingie;

I love it. Each picture just gets better and better
The shit bird did promote himself! What a F’in low life… A real soldier close to where this dude lives needs to put this clown in his place. Hell, a new BT’d Private could square him away better than his wild imagination. Ken, I suggest you change your name, grow a beard, dye your hair, and disappear.
It’s Rice Paddy Daddy!!! You all shouldn’t be dissin’ good ol’ RPD for struttin’ his shit! You all know that he was the hero of that firefight at Gang Bang Ri in ’68… and helps Ollie Stone write “Platoon”…
I….ah..what the hell. Seriously, this guy has mental issues beyond whatever is going on in the picture. He also will have my vote for the next soulpatch awards bracket.
How embarrassing!
There’s a Book of Mormon on the table.
Since his home is in Draper, I wonder if he works at the Utah State Prison?
Or, maybe he’s a recently released inmate?
Why is that child’s image blocked out?
Is this guy suspected or convicted of child molestation?
He’s a self-employed woodcarver, so maybe he can’t get or keep a regular job.
But, as was pointed out by another commenter, that whole area is HEAVILY populated by REAL “Green Berets”, as Salt Lake City is Headquarters for the 19th Special forces Group (Airborne).
In fact, if you’re not a member of the 19th Special Forces Group (Airborne), they won’t let you be a deputy sheriff in Utah County (or at least, that’s how it used to be, years ago).
Oh, wait, maybe Draper is now their Headquarters, because I think they closed that old armory on Sunnyside Drive quite a few years ago, and built a brand new one close to Draper.
I live like two miles away, and I’m suddenly annoyed that he’s breathing the same air.
Mr. Crocheron,
Please explain yourself.
He smiles too much. Much too much.
My repeated disbelieving gawks at his pics further strengthen my opinion that he’s either an escaped or recently released Mental Patient off of his meds!
A mentally retarded one-eyed Orangutan on LSD and meth could put a more convincing uniform together than that ‘tard did!
John, the 19th SFG (A) moved their headquarters from Draper to Camp Williams. They have some great facilities now.
My first comments were made via my phone while I was on break at work, and looking at those pics on my desktop, I just thought “Yeah, what’s RIGHT on those uniforms?” MMMmm, the color of the fabric, and,….. Nope, that’s it!
I just wonder how quickly any lamestream reporter would treat him like a real Vet the moment he crusaded for their agenda in his uniform?
Yarrrrr……..What manner of dumbfuckery be this? Sorry, had to make my comment in “pirate”. Really, tbough, are any of these assclowns even trying?
Guys, your being WAY too over analytical. This is *clearly* COL Sam Trautman, Special Forces officer extraordinaire and mentor of one John Rambo.

I’m surprised! All of you that are picking away at this guys rack and placement of rank, etc. missed the big giveaway…
He doesn’t have a propeller on his beanie.
Holy ratfuck, Batman! It looks like someone resurrected Khadafi and got him to shit on this guy.
Hey you guys are being too hard on the old coot! That’s no way to talk about Soup Sadwich’s long lost daddy. You should all be ashamed of yourselves! :’)
Speechless; chest hurts; need coffee…
@65, T-Bird Henry,: *BING!*,… BULLSEYE, here’s your cigar!
Let’s look on the bright side.
1. He has a very nice smile and is obviously photogenic (kinda sexy too, don’t ya think? [RAALLFF]), and
2. According to the chestful of awards he has on display I’m most impressed that he’s a Grenade expert.
Yeah, maybe we ought to cut this 10¢ hero some slack.
Obviously his last assignment in-theater was as senior advisor to General Wat Du Phuc.
He is screwed up like Hogan’s goat….damn!
Sigh……. I’m glad I’ve already had breakfast this morning. I guess it’s just nice to know that these posers are scattered all over the country so that everyone can be equally annoyed by them. 🙂
Someone needs to send these pics to the HQ of the 19th SF group and let them send a few folks to visit with him.
Pappy started in the 60s with the 101st Airborne and finished as a quartermaster in the 80s. The only medal he wore was the rifle marksman qualification badge from the 60s. A chestful of salad usually indicates future politician or poser.
Hahahahahahaha! I can’t even be mad at this one, because these pics appear to have been taken at home and not out in public. IF I were to see him in public like this, I would chuckle first, then rip him a new one in front of anyone and everyone, then I would have the cops roll his ass up for impersonating an officer.
I think this dick would get kicked out of the cub scouts for uniform violations.
On the plus side, no one from any of the services would ever be fooled by Colonel Cockmunch here.
What DOES his FOIA say about him? I live down the road, and it’d be nice to have concrete evidence on this —- person, before I pay a visit.
With me, SpudWrench??
#75 Ask him where he got the tie. I like it.
I just figured out what was bugging me (other than the multitude of other things): he’s wearing the rank thingies we used to wear on the green shirts on the epaulets of the Greens. And the eagles face the wrong direction….which may be appropriate for this clown.
Sadly, these dickbags are a dime a dozen. We didn’t get where we are by being the bullies, so I’d like to know his motivation for such a blatant display of shitbirditis.
Did he hit his head and wake up in Alzheimer’s Delta Force?
Is he trying to score some free shit on Veteran’s Day?
Is he an extra in Ranger Up’s next music video?
Or is he just plain crazy – he certainly has the smile for it.
If it turns out that Colonel Cockmunch here is trying to use his shell-shocked alter ego for personal gain, then yes, I’m definitely aboard.
Like I said earlier, Mr. Crocheron, please explain yourself.
post 73 old trooper….
Oh he has been out in public with this clown suit
http://prayformarky.blogspot.com/2010/01/saturday-in-marksroom-today-mark-had.html
A year+ ago when I first dropped by here I would have said that The Colonel wins the Ball Duster Soul Patch contest by default. I have since learned that there is someone that Jonn will soon expose that bumps The Colonel out of the top 10. There’s always another one that is worse.
Sad thing with some of these clowns is the disappointment their families must feel when they find out that Grand Pa was a huge phony.
I bet the kids BDU’s are more squared away than this shit stick’s!
Put some twinkle lights on him and plug him in!
This duffle bag is teaching a whole new generation of posers. His grandkid will be taking credit for smoking Osama in 10 years. That aside, is this putz using this for gain, or just a former PVT that is stroking himself?
This dude is a complete scum bag, due to the “hospital visit” and presenting himself as a ninja of the night. I see a road trip in my future.
Read the text under the picture that #79 Jack Pol liked to. It says:
Today Mark had a surprise guest! It was Colonel Kenneth B. Crocheron of the U.S Army 5th Special Forces–Green Beret, HALO Jumpmaster, Sniper, Delta Force, Black-ops (can’t confirm or deny that), and Guardian of the Jeanes family.
The Colonel was dressed in his highly decorated dress uniform…looked kinda like a green christmas tree loaded w/ ornaments! Quite a sight if you can imagine.
http://www.draperjournal.com/full_story/3484/-Draper-7-year-old-'joins'-Army-ranks/
Even this article states that Cocheron is a Special Forces in the Army somehow.
UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE !
Lol, Colonel Ken has been interacting with local Vet orgs, NG Units, VA hospital , and Wounded Warrior orgs….and nobody noticed he looks like a shit head? Smh…
I remember my first battalion Class A inspection as a 2nd LT. My Battalion Commander asked me beofre the inspection “Who inspected your uniform LT?”. He knew I was a prior service NCO and knew I probably didn’t have anyone check my uniform out. And he was correct.
“Every Soldier has a Sergeant” he said..” Even Officers. So go find one and have him inspect your uniform”
There was nothing wrong with my uniform but it was a teaching moment.
Every Soldier has a Sergeant. Except this guy.
@79: Oh FFS! Ok, I amend my previous comment; kick his sorry ass.
Jesus H Christ on a cracker! That boy needs a AR 670-1 asap!
I wonder if he is going to bake us some cookies with a beret like that.
Would be awesome if there was a new reality show on busting these scum. They have cooking shows, intervention, horders etc. To have a show that busts these clowns would make for interesting TV. Also the audience could then see what their pathetic excuse is and the family could then hammer on them also. Also to visit sick children pawning himself off as a Officer is again prettly freaking low.
its been 40 years since Vietnam…Talk about a lifer !
@93 Dano- I think you’re on to something there… book ’em
No words. I am embarrassed just looking at these disgusting photos. A three year old with a Sergeant Rock comic book would have done a more accurate job at dress-up. What an insult to our uniform.
Flip through the blog from post 79.
Basically his neighbor is a terminally sick kid, who worships soldiers. He’s got a Willy’s and a “bunker” in his back yard. Friends, of all ages it appears, like to come over and play dress up with him.
I dunno if Mr. Crocheron just started this nonsense as a way to make his (adopted) nephew feel special by association, or if he’s been at this for awhile. The haphazard construction of his uniform suggests he just whipped it up for a few photo ops with the kid. If anything, a public shaming would hurt the kid more than this wingnut, his family seems to believe the lie and is honored by his acquaintance.
This clown is no John Giduck, and as such is a very low value target.
If I see him strolling down the street (or riding his Harley, no doubt festooned with SF flair), I’ll certainly jerk a knot through his ass, til then he gets a sad pass from me.
Being elite never made me an elitist.
@79 – This was funny up until that link with the sick child. That’s going way too far; this obviously made the boy’s day (year?) and made his mom very happy. I can’t even find a way to express how pissed off I am about this and how I would feel if it was my kid! This fucker needs to get hit by a truck and then have it “accidentally” back over him 5 or 6 times, then have his carcass fed to the coyotes (if they’ll eat it), and then have the coyote shit burned! AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH! We don’t need a tournament…..Ladies and Gentlemen: We have a Winner!
His tie is impeccable. Never can get mine looking that good.
One other thing….calling this guy the Rondald McDonald of Stolen Valor is an unnecessary insult to everyone’s favorite clown. As a matter of fact, Willard Scott (yes from the Today Show)was the original Ronald McDonald and Mr. Scott served honorably in the United States Navy in the 1950’s. So we might want to rethink our title for this post since Ronald is an honorably discharged veteran, unlike this piece of shit. 🙂
