An Open Letter to Carl Webb
Dear Carl Webb:
You seem like a great chap, really, I mean, sure you an unrepentant communist, and a deserter, but other than that (and being a complete deadbeat) you seem like right swell droog. So, I’m coming to you out of concern. See, we got your military records in, and my coblogger is just chomping at the bit to tear you a new ass. (You know, besides the one you have your head stuck in.)
But for a guy with a GED, you seem like a real Rhodes Scholar. And I hate to see another IVAW member/deserter/marxist/leninist/trotskyite take another dive over an error that is clearly not your fault. So, I have sedated Jonn for a bit, that will let you come out and correct the record before he takes your skinny ass out behind the woodshed (you know, notionally).
See, the Army totally F’d you my man. I mean, more than when they enlisted you through our fascist poverty draft, and the stop loss. Would you believe those silly sonsabitches have documentation that doesn’t match your stories? I mean, I was shocked as well. It’s like I tell everyone all the time, if you can’t trust Carl Webb, who in this world can you trust, eh?
But this excitement/anticipation is giving Jonn a stiffy. And I don’t think that his doctor can help him, even if it does last 4 hours or longer. Jonn has a big heart, and this could really kill him, you know, to put out information received through the Freedom of Information Act on a guy from New Orleans who also served in the GA National Guard, and then have to find out that the Army screwed up the paperwork.
I don’t want to see that happen. I mean sure, in the darkest depths of my heart I often dream of staging a coup, but let’s be real, I can’t even insert pictures without Jonn’s help. So, I need my man healthy, and only you can help.
How ’bout you just send us one shred of paper that proves the record you claim. You know, something from say, oh, I don’t know, the month before 9/11/01 through now. I know you have it. I mean, you loathe everything about the military, but shit, you’ve been living off the legacy of it since you enlisted on December 16 of 1982, so you must have a love me folder. (Damn dude, kinda old to be crashing on folks couches ain’t cha?) So, won’t you look deep into your heart and help me save Jonn’s life. Only you can do so, and prevent forest fires if that furry bastard Smokey the Bear is to be believed.
Anyway bro, Peace, Love and long live the proletariat!
TSO

Exactly what have I claimed that you need me to verify?
NGB 22 showing service in this millennia. Also, an MOS that shows Nurse. Or, any form, document, scrap of paper, hieroglyphics or other confirmation from someone NOT YOU, that shows you were ever a deserter. IVAW should have it on record since they verify all memberships, and none of your info shows you are.

Ah, it feels good knowing had it not been for me leaving IVAW and calling this joker out, none of this would have happened.
Sounds like some juicy intel is inbound. Lemme guess he was head spud wrangler in the QM
He won’t come clean. He’ll accuse y’all of red-baiting and in so doing elicit the sympathy of idiots throughout “the movement.”
My vote is for you to just come out and put the relevant info into the public domain.

I wait with bated breath to see if you’re saying what I think you’re saying.
Hey Webb, you’re not even going to dispute anything? That’s a pretty lame challenge you just laid out. In essence: “…you(‘re) an unrepentant communist, and a deserter…”. That’s all I need to know…
Come on country singer! He’s conducting a recon. Can you blame the little prick? If he doesn’t get an answer he’ll have to go back and try to see the holes in his story. That’s a lot of work.
Guess I won’t need to buy a new book to read this week. Kinda thinking I’ll have all I can handle right here.
Leta, you made me spew!! Damn, girl!! THAT was funn-y!!!
Someone please get some smelling salts to Jonn!
His heart will feel sooo much better when he carves another notch into his keyboard of IVAW quacks!
Great post TSO!

~Waiting with bated breath….
Crap TSO,
I would take anything that showed 91B, you know Medic vice, ahem, 91A Amb Driver.
Let everything you know out about Carl Webb he is a fraud and a a**hole.
We will Brandon, this is just a tease since weekend traffic blows, so waiting until monday.
Well hell, TSO. I’d have bought a new book if I’d known that. Sheesh.
Can’t wait for Monday.
TSO: Your such a tease!
Y’all keep up the good work! With Veterans/Troops earning their honor again, more Scam Artists are making claims of grandeur!
Thank God for the Stolen Valor Act!
WOTN,
You bring up an interesting conundrum. Has Carl Webb stolen valor when his claim to “valor” is running away from his duty and hiding for two years?
He might be in violation of the “yeah, me too” act.
I hope IVAW has IVSACAW.com (Iraq Vets, Socialists and Communists Against War) set aside. Truth in advertising and all.
BNG,
I think they cornered the market on FVSACAW.
Fake Vets, Socialists and Communists Against War
My last training was as a 91C.
Jonn wrote: Actually, you were a 91A – an ambulance driver and you didn’t get any training, you just filled a Georgia NG slot. But let’s not get too far ahead of tomorrow’s Big Story.
It saddens me, but I don’t think he meets the criteria for legal action. My understanding is that without actually having worn medals, there’s nothing they can touch him on. If I’m wrong, someone please let us know.
“The Stolen Valor Act of 2005 (the Act), signed into law by President George W. Bush on December 20, 2006,[1] is a U.S. law that broadens the provisions of previous U.S. law addressing the unauthorized wear, manufacture, sale or claim (either written or verbal) of any military decorations and medals. It is a federal misdemeanor offense, which carries a punishment of imprisonment for not more than 1 year and/or a fine; the scope previously covered only the Medal of Honor.”
Well on my ERB it has be labeled as a ambulance aid/driver. I was supposed to be one, but due to a mix-up if I went to the training I would have been pulled to my current unit right after I would have completed the training. So they stopped my training and let be have fun in the ER for two weeks. So I have areas where I am ether a Ambulance driver/aid or a trauma specialists. But I have yet to work on a dedicated ambulance since I have been a medic.
Military documents are not always necessarily correct. My DD-214 does not list a couple things on there that I had and I never bothered to have it corrected. I did have some stuff corrected on my AARTS transcript recently since I wanted it for college credit since I decided to go back to school, and that was surprisingly easy to get fixed, but even that was like 25 years after the fact while my DD-214 is still incorrect, though it is not anything particularly signficant anyway (nor do I particularly care). I’m just saying that what a military document shows is not necessarily absolute fact (though it is true that it is the member’s responsibility to get things corrected).
Debbie Clark said: Military documents are not always necessarily correct.
I still use only the DD-214 I was given back in 1969. There are at least two awards that should be on there, but I’ve never bothered to get an update. Like yourself I never saw the need.
But sometimes you get stuff that you did not earn. I just got my ERB and it says that I have two Good Conduct medals even though I have been in only three years. I am going to talk to my S1 in the morning about fixing that.
Either way, the point here is that IVAW verifies membership, right? Service since 9/11. SO, what exactly did they base his membership on? That is the document I want to see. And seemingly the army does too.
TSO said: Either way, the point here is that IVAW verifies membership, right?
At this point expecting the yahoos to support anyone is suspect. Or should be?
Well I challenge all of you to show proof of your service. You could all be frauds as for as I know.
Hey asshole, your organization already looked at our DD214’s and cleared them.
How about this for a start?

send me an address Mr. Webb and I’ll forward you my DD214, ERB, and DA Photo
Send it to carlwebb@gmail.com
sent bitch….now it’s your turn, Let’s see the real Carl Webb.
I’m not sending Webb any of my personal info. Anyone not a lunatic advocate of treason is already familiar with my Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube pages and already has enough proof of my service.
What is amusing is that Webb has not provided his own proof of service, yet he is demanding that info from everyone else. He’s like a three year old. “No, you first!”
So CRaissi won’t show any proof. And I never heard of CRaissi. Only 48 hit on Google.
Chris, when you use the term snipers, Im assuming that they are not only armed with high powered scopes, but also large caliber firearms. Cheating – of any sort – has no place in running. Those of us who are out there doing it legit need to take a stand, call it when we see it and not accept it as we often do.
