Douglas Arthur Buono; Soup Sandwich the Senior
Meet Douglas Arthur Buono who obviously never heard about MSG Soup Sandwich and how much attention he garnered when he stumbled around Fort Benning in his phony finery, because that’s how Buono came to the attention of our friends at the Guardian of Valor;
First, he actually showed up at Fort Benning, Ga wearing all these unauthorized tabs and badges. To include rank in which he did not earn. He is very lucky he was not approached by a real Ranger, that could have turned out pretty ugly! Thing is several Soldiers at Fort Benning thought he looked out of place, and actually contacted us. When we showed them the pictures, they verified it was the same guy. And we told them we already have him and looking into it.
Nothing on that uniform is true…well, maybe the American flag. But, they have his FOIA over there, and he got out of the Army in August 2003 after 10 years as an MP buck sergeant.
At least he skipped the CIB, but that would send up a red flag in this case since he’s wearing an SF combat patch and a long tab.
They also found some reports about him after his service and apparently, he plowed his SUV into seven parked cars, inebriated, while he was employed by the local sheriff which abbreviated his career. It probably didn’t help that he left the scene and they had to hunt for his ass.
So I guess when you fail at real life, just make up a new one, huh? But you should read the rest over their place.
Thanks to John for the tip.

Hey John, thanks for posting the story. Just a heads up, Mr. Buono seems to have seen the err of his ways. As he just posted on our facebook page that he apologizes. We asked him to send us an official apology and we would post it to the story.
What really sucks is….this mo fo was an MP….Good gawd almighty!
At least he skipped the CIB, but that would send up a red flag in this case since he’s wearing an SF combat patch and a long tab.
I’m Navy and even I knew that.
SF are authorized to wear the CIB…..this guy though, is still a douche bag.
b. The specific eligibility criteria for the CIB require that: (1) A Soldier must be an Army Infantry or Special Forces officer (SSI 11 or 18) in the grade of Colonel or below, or an Army Enlisted Soldier or Warrant Officer with an Infantry or Special Forces
Yeah, that was kind of my point. He has a tab and a special forces combat patch, so he should be wearing a CIB. Not having a CIB would cause questions.
The lack of foresight and Cat IV ASVAB would certainly go hand-in-hand with being a 10-year buck sergeant.
Poor dumb bastard–just making another in a series of bad life choices. High on that list is walking onto Benning wearing shit you didn’t earn. Higher still is being part of da Po-Po and doing felony DUI/hit-and-run.
I love the pens in the wrist pocket.
No IN man worth his salt has them showing.
Turd.
Weak.
What’s a long tab? Is that the Special Forces tab?
I just have one question about the scroll that goes on the shoulder. When I was in the Navy, back in the days of Ancient Troy, if you were assigned to a squadron or whatever and then got shore duty, you could still wear that shoulder scroll with the squadron’s label. I frequently saw sailors with more than one of those, but it was the 1960s and the rules about this may have been different then, so I’m looking for an update on this. Anyone want to fill me in?
Thanks!
PH2–current command only. You detach, you remove the rocker from your shoulder and replace it with the command you’re going to, if they have one (NRD did.)
He pulled the BS on home turf.
I bet you this bitch does not know why the sky is blue.
He looks like he is about to drop his load. Notice the missing left hand and the reach around smile in the pic.
Fuck this clown.
Turd Smuggler.
Thank you, Sparky. I appreciate it.
Over at Guardian of Valor, the latest update says that he came on their fb page and apologized. They posted the exchange from fb and he agreed to email them an apology so they can put it on their website.
Geezus, again with the scrolls and tabs!!! Just kidding guys. Another loser, butt nugget Sgt. (E-5) after 10 years?!? Won’t these turds ever learn?
@14.
I will accept the apology if, and only if, he stenclis it on his back with ink. Needle ink.
MP fucking turd.
Fake long tab and no fake master HALO wings? What’s the poser world coming to. This guy’s not even going to merit a second thought in next year’s tournament.
Dudes playing dress up all over the country and I can’t get my wife to wear the french maid outfit.
life is so unfair.
Just a few weeks ago I wondered if the fame of the SV tournament would result in no candidates for a future one. As several of you said, fear not. I think we’re up to 4 already? At this rate, it may have to become a semi-annual thing.
@18 I’m just happy when the woman shows up, the outfits are of secondary importance at best..
Steadfast&Loyal, try a “cheerleader” outfit!? 😉 My honey loves that one, she wears the outfit and I wear my college football helmet! 😮
Yat, we do something similar, but I wear a dishdasha and sandbag and the wife wears her interrogator outfit with bullwhip. It’s pretty hot.
Two-hole Ranger.

I seeded you higher but you hung tough.
Stay with it.
“Turd Strong”, my man.
See it, Live it, Be it!
I need you.
Yat Yas 1833@21, I could picture you wearing your DH-132.

Pretty sad that after all these years, I still remember the nomenclature.
I really don’t get some of this crap. The GOV guys did a bang up job busting his ass, but how the hell does he get on post decked out like that without a valid ID for his rank? Quantico ID’s every swingin’ dick coming on post whether in or out of uniform. Even during morning rush. I’d be most suspect of someone in full uniform with no military ID. Can you get in with a driver’s license? Sure, no prob, they might ask where you’re going, but if you are in uniform, I’d be wanting to know where your military ID is – CAC, Reserve, Retire, Expired. Something anyway.
