More or Les Putting Elko NV on the Map
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.

Number of Comments Update:
This comment makes the count now 1,100 for all the TAH threads pertaining to Lester Kent “Brown Stain” Brown.
Note: This count does not include the 40 comments posted over at Military Phonies.
At this rate, Lester is going to break the internet, especially if he sends in more sock-puppets.
I was a filthy leg. Facts are facts. Wonder what the Ranger community would think about mr. brown sportin’ the scroll,or wearing the tab falsely at all…
Just an ideeeer…(with Mel Blanc overtones).
We were all filthy legs at some point. I was a leg for the first eight weeks of AD. My momma was a dirty leg, so was my 1LT wife. Everyone can’t be airborne. We don’t have enough planes to jump them all.
I know it did it
That’s all need to know.
And we’re into a second page.
YAY for Mess-ter Brown squirts.
Silly Bitch.
I’ve got an idea now…an evil plan is beginning to come together in my brain. And, yes, it’s an evil plan. All of my plans are evil. Someone asked me,”Why does it have to be an evil plan?”. I replied, “ It’s more fun that way! If I tell you that I have a plan, it’s boring. Now, if I say that I have an evil plan, it gets your immediate and undivided attention!”
There hasn’t been so much interest in anyone or anything in Nevada since the original CSI TV series debuted in October 2000. Les is bringing more “awareness” to his “association” then he could ever have imagined or feared.
If you self-important dipshits were as smart and clever as you thought you were, you might actually be dangerous. You’re bragging about the number of comments on your threads like it’s some kind of badge of honor when you are padding the numbers by literally posting the same garbage over and over. That’s cute. I guess I’ll help you boost those numbers by laying a little truth on you boys. You have so many facts incorrect, it’s staggering. I am a civilian and I don’t claim to know dick-all about what Les Brown has done or hasn’t done in the way of SV. If he’s guilty, I hope he is prosecuted to the full extent of the law. All your wet dreams about him getting emasculated, feminized and punished are very telling though, ladies. But let me set you fucksticks straight on a few things. Catherine Cortez Masto does not and has never lived in Spring Creek. I suspect you’ve never seen a Nevada map, otherwise you would know that Elko is already on there. Cynthia Delaney is not his girlfriend; she’s a fucking freelance journalist who often does articles on community members and events. And try to keep up where he works. The CITY of CARLIN. Not Elko, not the county. And I can see that reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit but he makes $2726.62 per YEAR at the city of CARLIN, not per week. Who fucking cares about the memorial vests? The guy has stated over and over that he didn’t earn the patches, they were gifts from families, and there’s no law against him putting patches on it. Pretty sure that was already established. Some dick on FB keeps trying to make the same half-assed attempt at a joke about his grand-daughter’s vest (‘whose granddaughter is this?’ har har har) that he clearly handed down to her but then you assholes want to talk about using and lying to children? Then you want to talk about his unpaid HOA fees? The HOA he lives in is literally the size of a small city. LOTS of people… Read more »
Ahhh… the plot thickens. Sock puppets! Send more sock puppets! Yum yum!
“Truth” has been confirmed to NOT be Les Brown, Tom Wulf or any of the usual suspects. This person lives in Silver Spring, Nevada and is originally from Elko, Nevada.
We encourage everyone to speak their opinion but when asked to list a viable email address it is a violation of standards to write “Fuck You” so it is a wee bit disconcerting.
“Truth” – what is your association with Les Brown?
Apparently reading comprehension isn’t exactly “Truth’s” strong suit. I don’t recall anyone claiming that the Les the Brown Stain on Elko/Carlin made that amount weekly. The discussion I remember was whether that amount represented his monthly or annual income.
I erroneously said I thought it was monthly pay, but that was before I looked at all the linked pages showing what everyone on the Carlin payroll was paid. I couldn’t imagine someone would have a part time government job (court bailiff) that only paid less than 200 bucks a month. Besides, PH2 caught my oversight. I am still amazed at the support this faker has from a bunch of know-nothings that never served a day in the military. It is like they are drones hooked to the Borg’s hive mind. Perhaps the Brown Stain is an alien life form controlling their every thought.
Such an angry woman. Les has her all steamed up about something. I hope he didn’t put her up to those homoerotic comments she tried to post.

Well, Ms. Truth certainly IS a vulgar little snot… IF that’s really her.
” Is it possible Les is dipping his fingers in the fundraising proceeds? Of course. But we will believe it when we see proof. ”
Another “well, well, well” right there. Ignorance of the rules of finance and taxes is NOT a good sign.
I’ll feel less smart and clever when you learn how to use paragraphs.
I am a civilian and I don’t claim to know dick-all about what Les Brown has done or hasn’t done in the way of SV.
Then why the fuck are you here commenting about, cocksucker?

END QUOTE Dear “Truth”: 1 – Look at the photographs at the top of this post. That is not a “memorial vest.” That, sir, is a United States Army uniform. It is fitted with awards and qualification badges that Lester Kent Brown did not earn. You might call it a “falsified old style uniform” or even call it a “costume,” but it is not a “memorial vest.” 2 – “This guy” [Lester Kent Brown] emphatically has NOT “stated over and over again that he did not earn the patches. In fact, speaking for himself, in writing and subject to being directly quoted, Lester Kent Brown has said nothing at all. He has sent his minions (and I number you among them) to make postings of “I have seen his paperwork / badges / documents and his awards are real.” 3 – You state “they were gifts from families.” From what families? What family gave Lester Kent Brown a Ranger Tab to sew on an MP brassard? What family gave Lester Kent Brown Sergeant First Class insignia, and then another family gave him Master Sergeant insignia? 4 – Yes, you are correct when you say “You assholes want to talk about using and lying to children.” I am one of those assholes. Because at best, at the very best, what you see in the top photos of this post are a 59 year old man wearing a costume, pretending to be what he is not, so he could get close to and hug little children.

Exactly. “Whose grandaughter is this” refers to a uniform, not a vest.
Keep the sock puppetry a-coming there “Truth”, and we’ll see this thread bit 400+ in no time!!!😀😀
Hi “Truth”,
Has anyone ever told you that you should not open your mouth if it will confirm you are a fool?
Good job on that.
I’ve been to Elko…it is a…well, small town full of small minds believing small things.
Thank you for confirming that as well.
Here is the deal; We EARNED the right to comment on dipshits who lie about their service to bilk others–even if that is to garner donations to charities.
We here have EARNED the right to comment on the communities that tolerate liars to prey upon them.
YOU have not.
Salient point 25X.
We have standing in the matter.
Les? Issat you? C’mere. I got some people who would LOVE to meet you.
He’s wearing tabs that good Men (far better than you) died, or were permanently injured, while attempting to earn them or doing the deed after earning them.
Some of us here will remember those Men forever. Not just as friendly acquaintances and colleagues, but as Family. Guys who would show up every Christmas Eve at the house of a Brother-in-Arms who had little ones, and help with Rum Enhanced Toy Assembly (as me about the tale of Rum Enhanced Sharkman vs. the 5500+ pc. Lego Millennium Falcon). I (and most others here) could go on, and on, and on with stories like the one above.
When ‘Uncle’ Dave (a fellow Operator) has a couple of little ones, as do some of his Teammates, and all the Guys deploy together, all the kids play together, all the Wives drink together (just kidding 😉 ) and one day Uncle Dave doesn’t come home with all the Guys…what exactly do you say to a 5-year old who asks you where Uncle Dave is?
I know what I’ve said (and my answers have usually been far, far from perfect- not my game, so to speak).
What did YOU say?
You’ve got personal experience(s), no (emotional) ‘skin in the game’, so -nothing personal- nobody here gives a single solitary fvck what you think.
So the uninformed masses see some drunken asshole blowhard like Les strutting around with those tabs and other awards, badges, etc. and then sees a headstone that reads ‘US Army Special Forces’ or ’75 Rangers’ they think about…LES. Army SF & Ranger Cats must not be that special, because they know Les and he’s kind of a drunken braggart of an idiot.
Get it yet?
Actually that doesn’t matter. Nobody here gives a fvck what you think. That’s kind of a bold, overreaching statement, but I figure the guys here will cut me some slack.
Fvck off Les, and go away. Spare yourself a trip. The TAH goons will be coming to you.
😉
Edit;
‘You’ve got NO personal experience(s)’

Your first comment will be moderated here – it’s not an attempt to stifle debate, it just keeps the spammers at bay. So if this is your first time here, please be patient. If you change your screen name or email address, it might happen again. Please use an email address that you actually check.

If we attempt to contact you and you do not respond in a reasonable period of time…expect to be banned.
Post what you want, but your first comment is moderated. I’m not a mod here, just a regular. I also don’t claim anything I have not earned. Just did my 24 years and punched out.

You posted homoerotic wet dreams about Les?
No wonder they didn’t go through.
Fuck off you worthless piece of shit.
Cowards? Who you callin’ “cowards”, you smarmy, foul-mouthed little brat?
Why isn’t your butt-buddy in here defending himself and straightening everything out? Hiding behind children and women is NOT exactly and act of bravado.
Just the opposite, in fact.
The POW*MIA Elko Awareness Association should change their name to the “Elko Nevada Mutual Admiration Society.”
ENMAS for short.
If it was “Elko Nevada Intermural Mutual Admiration Society” we they could be ENIMAS for short.
Kinda helps wash out the brown stains.
Now that is funny.
homoerotic wet dreams? You can do better than that. Like posting Brown Stain’s retired ID and “real” DD-214.
According to Tom Wulf
of the
POW*MIA Elko Awareness Association,
in Elko, Nevada,
there’s a “Classified DD-214”
out there somewhere on Lester Kent Brown.
It’s National Security stuff, you know.
Why is there a ‘classified’ -214? I mean wouldn’t the Nazgul on the 7th* floor at Christians In Action just Shanghai or Sheep Dip a guy like Les?
Then there’s no need for a ‘classified’ -214 – with all the gory super-detailed details – to possibly wind up in the open.
I mean, The Labor Guys love to joke about the uniformly low-IQ of guys in Management.
Management doesn’t care about more paperwork/admin load (maybe…they can hire another goblin as an AdminGoblin! WINNING!), but redundant paperwork that can lead to actual, retirement-threatening Trouble? That is bad, bad, bad. Fire some AdminGoblins! Now!
‘Let me tell you about my classified -214’ said knuckle-dragging Orc of The Secret Army of Northern Virginia, ever.
I’d live to see a ‘classified’ -214.
I’d suspect it would be pages pf big black boxes and skinny black lines. 😉
* = Inside Joke. Maybe. 🙂
Edit;
said NO knuckle-dragging
Well if you don’t like it then I suggest you call yourself a *WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!*mbulance!
Pull your head out and read the rules, assclown.
And, if you’re here to defend Les “Brown Stain” Brown, do a better job of it.

Hey Truth. How much more documented truth do you need.? MP has been doing this type of truth finding for years. They have smelled the smoke, they know what works and what don’t work. You wouldn’t know the truth if it bit you on the ass. You know, kinda like what the truth is doing to Phony Baloney, lying, embellishing POS Les “The Mess” Brown (stain)! Embrace the suck…Bitch!
I know this is highly irregular, but that’s kind of my thing, so i hereby move that we drop the Hemisphere of Insults on this interloper who calls himself “Truth”!

Aye! Aye! For the love of everything that’s right and good, AYE!!!
Third Aye as everyone knows, three Ayes are better than two!

HELL YES!!!
FIRE IT UP!
So it looks like “Truth” who is “a civilian” wants to weigh in on the validity of Stolen Valor claims. …? Maybe he hasn’t read the Federal statute that makes “wearing patches” – which I assume he includes the CIB – illegal.
Wonder how he knows Les never took a penny … since the Awareness Association’s books are not reportable?
Maybe no one told him about the whole “SV being the cherry on top of a shit sundae” theme?
The Vests! The Vests!
They’re coming after our Vests!
“These hack websites are going after our vests,” (Les) Brown said.
“They went after ‘River Rat’ in May for stuff that he was wearing on his vest. They talk about things we wear on our vests that we didn’t earn.
Well, we all wear something on our vests that we didn’t earn.”
“Truth” apparently has NO COMMENT
about Stolen Valor E-8 rank, patches, and CIB
sewn onto a US Army Woodland BDU uniform.
Booooooooom.
Not to be picky, but under the “Stolen Valor Act of 2013,” (18 U.S. Code § 704. Military Medals or Decorations) the “wearing of patches” is not illegal in and of itself.
Under the act ( https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/704 ):
Whoever, with intent to obtain money, property, or other tangible benefit, fraudulently holds oneself out to be a recipient of a decoration or medal described in subsection (c)(2) or (d) shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
There are enhanced penalties for the above while wearing some medals including: the Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross, a Navy Cross, an Air Force Cross, a Silver Star, a Purple Heart and a Combat Infantry Badge.
The “original” Stolen Valor Act of 2005 made it a crime just to wear anything not earned / awarded, but the US Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Alvarez that lying – even about one’s “service” – is a First Amendment right. It is only when that lie is the basis of fraud that the lies are illegal.
The mere wearing of an award other than the MOH (as I remember) is not a crime. It is only a crime when you start to make money / tangible value off of the lie that it is a crime.
This is not to say that someone rockin’ the lie about medals and badges that they did not earn is not “Stolen Valor” in many ways, only that without gaining something from that lie is it a crime.
Many states are upgrading their STATE LAWS on Stolen Valor, above and beyond the most recent federal Stolen Valor Act. It only takes 1 entertaining Stolen Valor Phony poser video on regional or national news, and a few more states jump into the fray, and take up the Stolen Valor Act debate. Google your home state for any changes or newly crated state level Stolen Valor laws.
So thus Les Brown could soon be the reason for the State of Nevada passing their own SV Laws? Way cool!
Exactly.
The Lester Kent Brown
Stolen Valor Act
of Nevada 2020.
SV Poster Boy
States are upgrading the penalties, not the underlying issue of whether lying about medals and service is a crime itself.
The mere wearing of a patch or medal not won or awarded is not a crime. Lying about one’s service (or lack thereof) is not a crime.
The odd thing is that in the Alverez case, Justice Kennedy states that “counter speech” – the exposure and ridicule that people who falsely wear medals is more effective than a government restriction.
One only has to see the comments on this blog in cases of Stolen Valor to see that to be true.
I truly understand the angst and anger people like Les Brown cause. They are despicable people. However, I don’t want the government to have a “truth squad” or “Department of Lies” running around arresting people for something they said that has no tangible harm. Such a thought gets into territory that I don’t want to go near.
In addition to the federal Stolen Valor law, Nevada has a state law.
https://law.justia.com/codes/nevada/2013/chapter-205/statute-205.412/
I would say that getting a speaking opportunity at a school, whether paid or not, is a tangible benefit – name recognition, celebrity in the local community, leads to other opportunities, etc.
You can argue that, but you are not correct.
In the Alverez case, Alverez made the claim he was a retired Marine, was wounded and received the Purple Heart, and was awarded the Medal of Honor.
(He also claimed to have played hockey for the Detroit Red Wings.)
Alverez was elected to the Water Board in his area which is a paying gig.
Courts dismissed the claim that the Water Board position was a “tangible benefit.”
If lying to electors to be elected to a paying gig is not a “tangible benefit,” then speaking at a school without compensation is not.
I could argue that but they ruled differently in the Alvarez case vs. I am not correct. I wasn’t aware of that. Interesting.
The ruling in the Alvarez case can be pointed to as precedent for future rulings, but it may not apply to the value gained, only that the military experience was not an influencing factor. In other words, I would say it is a jump to assume that using military claims when applying for a job and then getting that job is not a tangible benefit according to the Alvarez case. It was ruled not to factor in as a tangible benefit and can certainly be pointed to as a legal precedent but I don’t think it means that it applies to all situations.
If someone sat on a barstool and said they were in combat and it turned into a one-night stand, is that a tangible benefit of his misrepresentation?
If it weighed into the decision to go home with him then I would say yes.
It’s an opinion in the legal sense and each case is different.
Oh, shit.
Grab the popcorn, ladies (With all respect to Ex-PH2), it’s gonna get better…
Go get me some of that “Costco crack” (aka: Chicago mix popcorn).
“Costco Crack” is also known as “Smodat.”
When you’ve had some, you tend to say “I want smo’dat.”
I remember when I went to Basic for the 2nd time, there was some poor schmuck who’s mom sent him a big tub of Chicago mix popcorn from Garrett’s or one of those other gourmet popcorn places. We heard him get called down to CQ over the intercom and the Drill Sergeant mentioned the popcorn. Me and the other two prior service NCOs in my Platoon looked at each other and busted out laughing. We found out later that the Drill Sergeants smoked the shit out of him and ate his popcorn while they did it!🤣
I’m just gonna come out and say it
I can’t wait to see an accounting of donated funds
Dimes to donuts Les used them to pay off his arrearages
“arrearages”
I think that’s one of those homoerotic words that Truth was talking about.
I’m not gonna lie – I got a stiffie when I heard it.
Hell, I almost blacked out when I saw it… made me go WOOO WOOO WOOO!
Ditto.
I wouldn’t take that bet…
Then he spent the rest of the money on his vest.
THE VEST!
Meh, it could be, Stolen Valor is very often the rancid cherry atop a huge shit sundae and we’ve already seen that Les Brown is more full of shit than a Brigade of Used Car Salesmen!
Hmmm…. no responses to anything by “Truth” so far?
Maybe s/he used up all those bad words that kids use nowadays, words that made Pop hold our heads under the pump if we said them again. Such vulgarity in one so young is NOT a good sign. Learning all the wrong values there, she is.
Even more interesting is that Ms. Truth (IF that’s HER) said something about Les Brown dipping into the till of this non-profit to line his own pockets.
Foul-mouthed little snot just played the wrong hand, in spades.
Got another idea for a CD cover but everything is blocked by firewall…dammit.

Mea culpa to the moderator, who snagged my latest posting. It’s your job. Amazing how I left out “10” meaning “10 MOUNTAIN DIVISION.”
Never was a badass.
Don’t bring the kids

See my vest!
Well played, sir.

Ah good times, remember when the compass calling cheese eater would come out and defend himself? He was still full of shit and not just because of all the cheese he ate; but, he did spread more lies in his own defense by himself.
I see that Les Brown is also sporting a yellow star on his vest, that’s what members of a high school JROTC Honor Unit With Distinction wear centered above their name tags.
Truth: Just to help you understand this, it is not as if I need you to, but I’ll take a stab at it.
Les is akin to someone up on stage and you tell him that he has a huge booger hanging from his nose, his fly is down or has a huge brown stain on the back of his pants.
He then looks at you without flinching and says he knows, but he claims that he is sporting that look on purpose. So he continues on stage with the obvious detractions still in place.
People make fun of not only the distractions but the fact that he claims it was all planned. Les made himself a clown and deserves to be laughed at.
“Tickets from the thickets!”
Hey Les, hope you enjoy the dress up as a senior snco. I was just a regular nco a Sgt in the Marines. At least I really was an nco. You are a poser who was not happy with Spec 4. That’s your fault, you could have went an entirely different way. I guess it was easier to not make rank and then kind of drop out of the Army. Then you want to go and make yourself a senior snco and a war hero. I was loading equipment on planes to go to Iraq, while you manned a check point In Germany. Pretty much both POG shit. Difference is I never claimed to be a hero. Fuck you Les, guys like you make it harder for us that just tell the truth. Les the Loser, fake E8 fake CIB, fake Ranger, Fake paratrooper. WALLOW IN THE SHIT YOU SPEWED.
Just wondering, but did anyone recorded or can remember Les Brown’s 2015 Veterans Day talk he gave at Elko Sr. High School? Could go a long way in partially clearing up Les Brown’s name or proving he is a total phony.
We know he gave this talk, because Dale Beach, the teacher that organized the presentation, wrote and had published in the Elko Daily a letter expressing her appreciation to Les Brown and another speaker for giving the presentation. Here is the link to the letter:
https://elkodaily.com/news/opinion/letter-veterans-share-stories-with-students/article_3ac679bc-0bc5-5cb7-a9af-0c91252619f5.html
You have to admire Mrs. Beach for taking the initiative to have her students hear first hand the personal accounts of local residents that served in these wars. Unfortunately, Mrs. Beach and her class became unwilling victims of Les Brown’s likely fabrications.
“I wanted my high school students to be more fully appreciative of Veterans Day, so I reached out to a co-worker, whom I knew could help me, Betsy Brian. Betsy put me in in touch with Lee Foster and Les Brown, two local veterans, who were happy to come to each of my classes and speak to my students about their experiences in Vietnam and Desert Storm.”
It probably went down like this:
Truth, Like you, I am a civilian. So, I thought I might share with you some reasons why Les Brown’s actions matter and why you should care. I hope you will read with an open mind, one civilian to another. The crux of the matter centers around lies he told and is continuing to tell. He told those lies to everyone who came into contact with him. The vehicle he used to do that was a uniform that means something very significant to veterans and those who support them. The wearing of a rank and awards he did not earn is very egregious, to the point that laws were enacted against doing just that with certain badges and awards. We are far beyond his claim that the stolen valor community was coming after his and others’ vests. This is much, much bigger than that. I hope you can appreciate that. On a more personal level, though, try to put it into this perspective. Think about someone you love that has passed away. One day, you go to the cemetary to visit only to find that someone has desecrated their gravestone. You would be rightfully angry and want to find the perpetrator and see some justice. I don’t think anyone would find that anger to be unreasonable. In the same way, every time Les parades around in a uniform with those honors and accomplishments he did not earn (and make no mistake- there is photographic of him doing so – and with children, at that), how do you think that makes veterans feel? Good people died in the service of our country wearing that uniform. Others were wounded, both physically and emotionally, whose lives will never be the same. Still others invested good years of their lives to serve because they felt it was important. Les served. No one is denying that. But to embellish (also known as “telling a lie about”) one’s service to be twice the actual truth is repugnant at best. This is not about your town. This is about one man who is paving a path of… Read more »

Still don’t have an answer to that obvious question, to wit:
Why is Les Brown not standing up for himself, but is instead hiding behind children (see photo above) and “friends”?
If someone in Elko and/or surrounding area tells him to show up here and defend his turf himself, I’d never ask a question like that, but not once has he stood up and said a word in his own defense. And that sucks the bag, Big Time.
Have to give that wacko lawer/pilot some credit for facing the fight on his own.
“Have to give that wacko lawer/pilot some credit for facing the fight on his own”
There is always that one cockroach that does not run away but makes a stand…and dies anyway.
Ex-PH2,
We are talking about someone who thought he was being accused of plagiarism. Just a thought.
Doesn’t matter, Chase. Les can defend himself, speak for himself, but he won’t. That’s the point.
Ex,
I just don’t think he’s eloquent enough to do it in his own, which is why he lets Tom Wulf fight his battles for him.
Er, “on his own.” It’s soooo time for bed…
“I just don’t think he’s eloquent enough to do it in his own…”
A genuine retired Special Forces Master Sergeant with a CIB and Master Blaster wings would have a unique form of eloquence all his own…. and it would be effective.
Doesn’t matter. Bernath was a mumble-gums mind babbling idiot, but he stood up for himself. You don’t have to be an eloquent communicator to say “I dindo nuffin'”.
This guy is too much of a chicken s–t to do anything but hide when he gets caught. All he has to do is stop the nonsense and move on. He’s hiding because he’s done something that he doesn’t want other people to know about.
“he’s done something that he doesn’t want other people to know about”
Yet he wants other people to believe he did what he has not.
Guy needs professional help and I mean that in whatever sincerity I can muster.
He is afterall a veteran and can ask for help for conditions that are related to or “exacerbated” by military service.
He needs to walk through that door and if he has any true friends they will open it for him.
Nail on the Head!
As I said way back when “PhoeniXX” AKA Tom Wulf was making a lame attempt to defend his buddy, in schoolyard terms, Les Brown has been “Called Out.”
So come out and defend yourself, Les Brown. Tell us how you rocketed from E-4 to E-8 in 2 years. Tell us how you earned the CIB in Kaiserslautern where your MP Company was posted during the Gulf War. Tell us how you somehow managed to earn an SF Tab, Ranger Tab, and Senior Parachutists badge (a badge that requires you to attend not one but TWO schools: Basic Airborne AND Jumpmaster) without there being any record of you having attended ANY of those schools.
Man up, Les. Your “Vest” says you’re a badass, but your silence says otherwise.
Aw, man, only Superman? I wanted to see Les Brown. You must know him, Desert Storm Veteran, Master Blaster, wearer of the Combat Infantry Badge, Army Ranger Tab (with white thread, no doubt), Scuba bubble, best friend to children in obvious need of a hero, and just one helluva model American.
Only Superman.
What a disappointment.
STATUS ON TRUTH
It is with profound sadness that I must report that the poster we’ve come to know as “Truth” will not be coming out to play anymore.
She was contacted and played coy, claimed she wasn’t aware anyone was posting as her. Denied everything. It was a little shocking because all she was being asked was what was her motivation behind defending Les?
After a few minutes of her playing coy and ignorant of what was being talked about – “I don’t have a relationship with Les Brown. Posting, what posting? What public forum? Did someone use my name? You got a link? Show me. You either have a link or you don’t. [link provided’] I don’t see my name. Once again I don’t know what you’re talking about. Have a nice day.” – she blocked the person making the inquiry about Les.
The unexpected revelation was that she was brave as long as she remained anonymous. Like Les, she’s a liar and a fraud. I guess she learned from the master and benefited from his tutelage. Appears she took in every single bit of Les’ tutelage.
I have it from a good source that she has been encouraged to come back. We’ll see.
Stick around Justice. There will be plenty for you to met out in the coming days.
As with all things Les “Brown Stain” Brown, the Truth comes up short and fully in a state of unauthorized absence.
Does “Truth” needs ITS own square on the bingo card?
They just DON’T make sockpuppets like they used to!!
“She took in every single bit of Les’
tutelage.”
Funny stuff there…
Word has it that All-Points Logistics could be opening a branch in Elko with old “More or Les” Brown here running the show.
More material keeps surfacing. This is from meeting minutes out on the internet. See pages 13 & 14, also provided below.
https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Session/75th2009/Minutes/Assembly/TRN/Final/632.pdf
RIGHT THERE he stated in public that he served 20 years. I’m making cheddar jalapeno popcorn!
Live dangerously, API!!
Dangerously would be ghost pepper or Carolina Reaper in place of the Jalapeño!
Stranger, have you ever met one who has eaten a ghost pepper?
(The hell with the Brown Stain, I just want to know.)
…without realizing, will leave that open for comment…
While I like spicy foods, there is a limit I won’t cross. IMHO once you go past Thai Red Peppers, that’s what I refer to as “Stupid Hot”!
The motherfucker has kids and grandkids. So his kids are adults.
Can’t any of his adult family members reason enough to figure out he didn’t serve 20 years when he was always home throughout their childhoods?
Not to mention his wife, siblings and parents?
So many people enable these jackwads
He also states he has “been in conflicts around the world.” Which conflictS has he been in?
These are officially recorded minutes. Not quite court testimony, but officially recorded nonetheless. His claims were an effort to sway opinion on a matter.
He probably busted up a few bar fights between intoxicated depednas while he was policing K-Town during Desert Storm.
Probably earned the Bar Fight Medal from Fred’s Lounge.
Awarded the Legion de Penis (with nut sack cluster) for surviving “Fisting Friday’s” at Brucies Bath House (Entrance in the Rear)…
Shoplifters at the PX
I’m sure that Les Brown wrote many a Parking Ticket on Post as well!!
Conflicts with the truth.
How did he get in to the VFW? Deployed overseas in a combat zone is a eligibility requirement. Did he submit a fraudulent DD-214? If he uses VFW benefits/discounts, is that not “tangible gain” by fraud per Stolen Valor?
Fake 214 and a “hook-up” in the VFW (cause he’s a good guy)
This site has exposed dozens of phonies in the VFW. Some have even been post officers. The fakers are busy bees willing to work for the post, so no one wants to out them as not having served in a foreign war.
He writes like a 5th grader.
Les stated above he’s a VFW member. However, his record doesn’t support “service in a war, campaign, or expedition on foreign soil or in hostile waters.” So his VFW membership appears fraudulently obtained. Apparently, those “Desert Storm times” were just one of many “conflicts around the world” Les soldiered in.
PhoeniX (Tom Wulf) comments:
“Huh boy, where do I even start?
If you want to criticize this Soldier for claiming that he was in the military for 20 years, you’ll need more than what you have. I see a newspaper article saying that, but nowhere do I see any evidence that MSG Brown himself claims it. I personally know that he was in for 20 years, but that’s beside the point. Is he responsible for what the newspaper prints?”
There you go, Tom Wulf. The Assembly Meeting on Transportation on March 24, 2009. I’m guessing there are other references, but it would be a far stretch that the newspaper would get that wrong.
[sarcasm] Maybe they just got sloppy and rounded up? Yeah, that’s it. [/sarcasm]
Where’s your proof, Tom? A retired military ID card that you don’t feel you need to provide because that’s just for the inner circle? The police need to get a photocopy of that ID card because the facts predominantly point to it being a forgery. That’s why Les Brown won’t show it, not because he feels that he doesn’t need to prove anything to anybody.
I ask again – Where’s your proof, Tom Wulf, that Les Brown was in for 20 years?
So far, all we heard is a bunch of your non-sensical, hot air blathering on about classified documents.
Have you ever asked yourself why won’t Les Brown sue for libel? Because there is a little tiny issue called the discovery process. The discovery won’t be kind to Les Brown, I can assure you. That’s why he’ll keep absorbing the criticism, hoping it all goes away. He’s not in a favorable position. All of the organizations (i.e. POW*MIA Families, etc.) that your organization donates to are being made aware of this situation. Maybe they don’t care but at least they can make an informed decision about how close they want the ties to be if this is not cleared up. That’s where Les Brown’s strategy of hope breaks down.

Great catch, Steve.
VFW National is already on the desert trail of

There is a long history of shitbaggery at VFW posts in the TAH archives.
I would task the local veterans to speak up about the fraud that is Les Brown but I won’t hold my breath.
I visited a couple of VFWs in the area and twice I was told after being blunt I was a Legion Member but had never been in a Theater or deployed, they said being a member was no problem.
They boldfaced lied/bullshitted and said I could just write a check and we’re good.
I declined.

It’s a sleepy little town,

And he’s mad, sad, Lester brown,
Saddest sack in the whole damned town,
Lying every bit of it
One big sorry sack of shit.
Now Lester likes attention,
And he likes it like a great big fool
And he’ll spout all of his bullshit stories
Every time he sets foot in a school
I should have started with *To the tune of “Mad Bad Leroy Brown”*
Back at you APi™®
there once was a man named les brown
who lied like he thought he was a clown
he was a fake ranger
there was no real danger
until he was kicked out of town
Les Brown claimed to be master blaster
but his lies were coated with plaster
Then stepped on his pecker
like a two ton wrecker
and it all ended up in disaster
GOOD one!
HEY, we’re now past 400 comments on this Lester Brown thread!
I remember in the old western TV shows they always had a town drunk.
Lester can be the town clown.

Apparently back in 2009 Les wasn’t proud of his CIB and his E8 rank.
https://youtu.be/rx6SLzNUpOY
Let’s also not forget that the ACU “Pajamas” weren’t issued until long after the 1990s when Les Brown ETS’ed according to records found. WHat’s Les Brown saying about shitass Bergdahl nowadays?
Love how he talks about how veterans weren’t honored after the war in the Viet of the Nam. Like to know how the hell he would know; in 1971-72 he was in effing grade school. Maybe in the fifth or sixth grade he was experiencing his Vietnam Times secret combat missions.
He used “we” a lot
Insinuating to the casual observer that he was/is among that we
Sounds like to me anyways
Yes he does in that video, and I don’t think he had a frog in his pocket.
Les Brown wore COL O-6
and his #2 man wore LTC O-5
for years, long ago.
It’s interesting, isn’t it – that I made E-5 in less than 3 years (had to extend to get it) and he couldn’t even get past E-4 in 15 years? And everyone thinks he’s jus’ wunnaful!
To be fair, MANY in local area part time National Guard and Reserve units get stuck or saddled in low rank slots.
Often, promotion requires extensive travel, or even relocation for a part time job. It varies by MOS and MTOE.
So, many will sit on their slot, sit on their rank, do their jobs, until perhaps a more convenient promotion opportunity comes up.
The joke term for this is E-4EVER.
That is true. But in Les’s case I think it is pretty apparent his lack of upward progress was from being a turd rather than lack of open slots
But then, he dresses himself up as something he never achieved….
I have daydreams, too. Most of us do. But they’re harmless and don’t cost other people or impact their trust of us.
How bout that Vito guy? He seems legit. “I came home in ’71.”. I wonder where he came home from? He’s sporting the CIB.
http://krookmcsmile.tripod.com/511thMICompany.html
“Vito” is on that page (link above). His name is Ron Daronche.
Well for these clowns one can wear a CIB or any other badge on their vests, so wearing a CIB is in “honor” of those of us that actually earned them as combat infantrymen in a war zone by being subjected to enemy fire.
Okay, Got it.
LTC “Vito” picked up his Cold War CIB while on a tour of the Ratskellers in Furth, Germany from ?? -71.
I wonder if it’s a “classified” CIB?/s
Some interesting photos on the 3 Facebook pages of Ron Daronche.
It makes one wonder, why Vietnam Times Veteran LTC “Vito” Ron Daronche would put up with the BS and outranking from Desert Storm Times Veteran COL MSG Les Brown?
The Dennis “Vito” Hopper 70s biker photo might be a hint.

Absolutely.
Pretty sure good ol’ Lester “Brown Stain” Brown here is headed for setting a new TAH record for number of posts on a single lying sack of shit. I motion that, if he sets that bar higher, we name it the Brown Stain Standard.
Also, wonder if we can get him some cammies from someone who’s burned shit barrels in-country somewhere. At least then he’d smell just as terrible as his sordid lies, and repulse people enough that he couldn’t tell them if he tried.
” I motion that, if he sets that bar higher, we name it the Brown Stain Standard.”
I HEREBY SECOND that Motion!!!
“Also, wonder if we can get him some cammies from someone who’s burned shit barrels in-country somewhere”

There are always guns firing a mission while shit burning. It’s part of the “atmosphere”. Ocassional small arms fire will be heard but the big guns are always there, somewhere, making for a bad day.

If you have the time (and energy), check up on all the info on Les Brown. Someone has an endless supply of shovels, and demand is high.
I say we lock the thread at 666 posts just for posterity.
The internet never forgets…
Here is Les Brown in 2007 in his CIB adorned vest and wearing a beret with the 1st Special Forces flash. The beret appears green in the photo, but might be black. (Poor color)
The dilemma for Les Brown is that his multi-year (12 years in this case) telling of his military service is engrained in many Elko residents, and having to present a differing account of his service would be problematic for Les Brown. Man-up Les Brown. Let someone else lead parades on their motorcycle wild holding a POW/MIA flag!
https://elkodaily.com/news/local/veterans-honored-saturday/article_3f90f8de-f494-5c1f-abdd-b980bc90dc0a.html
August 14, 2006 – The beginning!
“You are not forgotten: Local POW/MIA group formed” article in the (what else) Elko Daily Free Press.
Elko POW*MIA founded Fri, August 11, 2006.
Les Brown elected C.O. (Commanding Officer)
Les Brown issues “requirements” to join.
Les Brown issues motorcycle requirement.
It’s 8 days early, but
HAPPY 13th ANNIVERSARY to the Elko POW*MIA!

“Brown advised new members the group is guided and monitored by the National League of Families POW/MIA in Washington, D.C., to “ensure we maintain our nonprofit status and reflect the highest possible standards in the organization”
Highest possible standards…..
Les Brown (Stain) forgot the sarcasm tag when he wrote “reflect the highest possible standards in the organization”.
You must display a POW/MIA patch on your vest;
IT’S THE VESTS… ALWAYS THE VESTS!
If Les served in the 1st BN 1st SFG forward deployed to Torii Station, Okinawa he may have participated in night engagements in Whisper Alley. I know I still fight off nightmares related to my “missions” outside of Gate 2 of Kadena AB. Then again Les claims to have earned the Tower of Power and was a battle hardened Soldier of “conflicts all around the world” so maybe he sleeps like a baby under the blanket of freedom he wove over 20 years of military service.
“blanket of freedom he wove”
Missed a few stitches somewhere.
Binky of freedom he wove.
I have no memories of walking up the hill from the 18th Trans dorms at Kadena and then out Gate 2 and then taking a left down Whisper Alley to BC street. My Friend, was there in 84-86 when they did a “beautification” of BC street and closed it off for 3 blocks to nothing but foot traffic and made it like an outdoor mall. Sure did look pretty but at night, the stores closed down and the bars opened up.
A banana show is still a banana show no matter what you do to polish a turd in the daylight.
Oh and right outside Gate 2 about a block up, on the second floor,on the left hand side facing out from the base, the 19th Hole. BEST.FUCKING.TACOS.AT 1 AM ON THE. WHOLE PLANET.
Oh and he also told me that as a young man with a lengthy period of abstinence, he was actually almost kicked out of Whisper Alley by senior Mamasan, when required to bring in a younger back up pitcher, because the A-Team mamasan, couldn’t do the job.
Or so I was told. By a friend of mine. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
