POW.net asking for help with IDing Poser CSM
Ok, looks like it is that time again, this is new about a week ago that a person was spotted at a VFP event.
This is what we know about him at this time.
A man in U.S. army fatigues walked by the crosses, and said he was ‘observing’.
He asked not to be named for security reasons, but said, ‘All memorials are good. People may get a better understanding of war’.
The man in fatigues said he had served three months in Afghanistan, but that he was currently serving civilian duty locally.
According to POW.net someone emailed them concerns about the “Solider” in question and got this reply.
Hi. Thanks for reading and for writing. Your email is very interesting. I don’t have any more details about the gentleman in question, he wouldn’t give me his name or any other details. He actually did tell me that he was purposefully not wearing proper unit patches in order to keep anonymous. I don’t know if he was telling the truth or not.
Yea if that is not a major red flag right there. But seeing someone like that and you still have doubts about him being fake?
Jonn added; The first thing I do when I want to be discrete on the beach is wear an Army uniform with my name tag and dog tags showing;
Jonn added again: I tried “Danenberg” in AKO and got nuthin’, so I tried Dannenberg and got this;
None of them are in California.

Ok, no self respecting real Army soldier is going to wear ACU camouflage sunglasses… he’s gotta be a fake.
Being that the event was in the land of fruits n nuts, I suppose he didn’t raise many red flags there. I seriously doubt that if any true hero were attending one of these, that he would mind if a few veterans, well, vetted him, with a few questions. I have no problem with doing that, and have confronted several sloppy dressing GI’s, asking if they truly are in military service. Then using a question or two that would be known readily by any true service person.
Where’s his lid? A person in uniform doesn’t go outside without a hat on their melon. Wouldn’t give his name, said he wasn’t wearing correct unit patches “for security reasons”, etc. I call bullshit.
And it’s some kind of knockoff uniform…no velcro on the sleeve pockets…only on the slaps. And who wears the collar velcoed shut unless youre in the field. Super top secret douche bag.
From the look on his face he looks like he smells something bad. Must be the BS he’s spreading.
You don’t wear ACUs with the top closed unless you’re wearing body armor. That’s the first clue that he’s fake.
He appears to be too young to be a CSM. And, the super secret, not wearing patches for security reasons BS? I’d venture he’s a hoser.
Perhaps a troop disposed of his stuff and failed to remove the name tags? I took my junk off just because of that…
I went on ZABA and found a shit load of Dannenbergs in CA…I know it may not be related…but the f-stick could have had the name tags made…try some other spots like Linkedin for photos?
Also, that IR flag patch is only authorized in theater – CONUS is red, white and blue with gold border…
Definitely a fake in my book, this guy screams of an ass chewing if he was a real Joe.
1) Anyone who spent anytime in the Army would wear their ID tags outside of the uniform, it was a guaranteed ass chewing for us and is just instinct to put them away, a CSM would definitely not forget. 2) Where is his cover, again no CSM would go out without their cover even if it was an awful beret. 3) The collar is up UN needed, why put yourself through the discomfort if it was unnecessary. 4) Although there are several reasons to have a “Sterile” uniform, attending a public event is not one of them, if he wanted to remain anonymous civvies work just fine, maybe the Army surplus store didn’t have a good selection.
Is that a ACU camelbak or backpack he is wearing too? It’s never a good sign when a guy wears a pack around without being ordered to.
HEY TROOP WHERE’S YOUR COVER!
how many times have you heard a CSM or 1SG bellow that? only time you even SHOW your tags is at SRP (or inspection). and whats up with the collar? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone wear the collar “up”. Not in combat, not in garrison, not in training. I don’t know if the rule about packs has changed but it used to be that in garrison you had to have your right shoulder out (something about impeding a salute), and the sunglasses you’re authorized to wear, must be protective. As in the SAME sunglasses you could take to war. And WTF is up with the unit patches?
The only thing about this asshole that correct is his haircut.
[…] he is free to lie, but we will out him if we can. John has some great stuff on this guy over at This Ain’t Hell, so check him out too for […]
Doc Bailey: “The only thing about this asshole that correct is his haircut.”
And he probably got the haircut with a military discount.
what discount? I had to pay $6.75 for a high and tight
Try 11.50 in Alaska and that is on base.
What a douche-tard… these fakers don’t even download AR 670-1 or buy the countless how-to-wear-your-uniform-right guides. Sheesh!
Somebody ought to track down a bunch of posers and invite them all to a special reception where they can recount war stories with one another. The first one to figure out that everyone there is also a poser wins a prize.
It would make a fun video.
And we could get them all to hunt down NVA Col. Wat Du Phuck.
Security reasons? My hairy white ass. This guy just breathes fake. There are select groups in the military that have to do work out of uniform for security reasons (ie., CID and 902nd MI). So they wear civilian clothes. It’s not rocket science. If I’m trying to be low key, I leave the uniform at home. Also, who the hell goes to a VFP event, or any event for that matter, and masks their ID for “security reasons”? I swear, the damn ninja shit is always a dead giveaway. Check AKO for a CSM Dumbass and see if the picture matches.
Where is his left pocket bling? Jumpwings? anything. C’mon buddy….at least make it a challenge
Hey! Maybe he was there for a photo-shoot and auditioning for a starring role in the next greatest movie ever to be made….”Douchebag, Triple X Redeux”
What you don’t see is that he was Airborne Special Ranger Forces! not only is he a master parachutist, with 500 jumps (three of them combat jumps) he’s also a Halo jumpmaster, with Combat Scuba, CIB with three stars, Ranger Sapper, Presidents Hundred AND Special Forces tabs. He’d wear all of that and his medals but they’re so classified, he’d have to kill you if you saw any of that.
Why was he at a VFP rally? he was really on a super secret squirrel mission. He’s undercover, attempting to find a terrorist that has hidden a suitcase nuke, to eliminate the most valuable peace movement around! this guy makes Jack Bauer look like a P***y. I can’t believe any of you think this guy might POSSIBLY be faking.
I’m still undecided….what self respecting poseur douche bag doesn’t wear a Cav patch? Ranger or SF tabs? He might be legit guys….
/sarc (as if I needed that)
Tanker, you know they do a two week block at the SM Academy just on the 670-1 (along with identifying a uniform flaw from across the PX or Commissary parking lot training) – a CSM is physically incapable of intentionally having uniform flaws :).
ALOT of clues NO HAT? DOG TAGS HANGING OUT ? THE CLOTH U.S. FLAG? AND THE VELCRO PROTECTERS?
i don’t know what a “hat” is in the military we have covers.
