Zachary Nicholas Smith; Phony Iraq POW

| March 16, 2014

Zachary Nicholas Smith

Scotty sends us his work on Zachary Nicholas Smith who has a lot of claims including the Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross and a Purple Heart which were all verbal claims. But on top of all of that, he claims he was a POW;

Zachary Nicholas Smith POW

He convinced a Gold Star Mother that he had served with her son, which disappointed her greatly when it was revealed that wasn’t true. So how do we know it wasn’t true? Well. He only served 22 days in the Army, that’s how;

About the only thing that p!sses me off more than a false Purple Heart claim is a false POW claim. It figures he’s a Basic washout.

Even Butthead’s Cornholio personality says, “Faq deese bassturd”.

AverageNCO

Hondo, you said it before I could type it. My exact sentiments. I keep a copy of the PBS Frontline special on the Vietnam POW’s and watch it every Veteran’s/Memorial Day weekend. I really HATE the POW posers. It’s one thing to pretend to be a Vietnam POW (Terry Sallada/Jerry Partain) when the lists are verified and not classified. But to claim to be a OIF/OEF POW when there are so few(Jason Truitt) is really unforgiveable. It’s one thing being stupid, it’s another thinking people are as stupid as you.

Doc Savage

Okay….doing that to a Gold Star Mother is lower than low…..He needs to be slammed with all the attention he never wanted, in a way that will leave him staining his shorts at the sight of real soldiers in the future.

A Proud Infidel

Lower than whale SHIT, and that’s at the bottom of the ocean!!
I wonder who will try to back THIS SHITSTAIN up, a sock puppet “comrade”, Dullass, or will his Mommy cry here like ‘roid-cakes loony-Mooney’s Momma did? Here we have another POS that ought to be forced to walk a gauntlet of real Vets after they’ve been briefed about his chickenshit stunts!

I foresee a 2×4 counseling session.

Battle 2-7

I was thinking the same thing. Good ole wall to wall counseling.

Hack.Stone

22 days of time in service. Quite impressive. Report to boot camp. Go directly to separations, do not pass go. He must have pussed out as soon as he stepped off the bus.

Green Thumb

Turd.

Yeah. I have seen a few of those guys.

When everyone was getting their collective balls smoked for 5+ hours after getting off the cattle trucks, they had red faces, tears in their eyes, and were screaming they had asthma.

Maggots. I hope this guy gets a cold, steel beatdown.

OldSargeUSAR

How did this bedwetting douche bag make it out of Reception Station?

Ex-PH2

Thick as a plank. Lies like a rug. Lasted barely 3 weeks. Then they sent him paacking.
One less sponge on your tax dollars, as I see it. But yes, indeed, it is PAST time to shut down this fantasy trip he’s pursuing by pointing, staring, making snide remarks, exposing his lack of integrity to the light of day, and above all else, letting everyone know he is socially as low as you can get.
But don’t make threats to pound his ass into the ground. Some asswipe will come along to defend him. Put him where everyone can see what a useless twatwaffle he is.

Green Thumb

Sounds about like Bill Blake’s career.

OldSargeUSAR

Hey, GT, didn’t Zippy the Pinhead from Bartlesville, OK liberate Grenada all by himself?

Instinct

“It’s just that everything that could go wrong with me does”

Better hold on, Junior, your world is going to get a whole lot worse and you have earned every bit of it.

I know why he washed out after 22 days, he has WFCS – whinny fucking crybaby syndrome.

Scotty

My brief conversation with him right before he was exposed. He blocked me when I asked what unit he served with oversea’s. Now he is telling everyone that I’m the poser. What a moron. Zack Smith To chat with Zack and other friends, turn on chat. Chat Conversation Start Friday 3:19pm Semper Fi Mac.. Were you in the Marine Corps ? Friday 6:55pm Do I know you ? No i’m sorry, you may have me confused with someone. I was in the United States Army. That’s cool. Your name just looked familiar. What unit were you with in the Army ? Saturday 10:32am Wow, didn’t realize that you were still under Government contract until I saw your High School Graduation date. Thank you for serving our Country Soldier ! Unfortunately I am no longer contract. I got in a bad accident on my way home on liberty when I was 20 and after I was diagnosed with a Neuro disorder. I only served one deployment in Afghanistan. I’m in the process of getting medically cleared to re-enlist. I really appreciate the support though. Really sorry to hear all that. So you were discharged on a Medical & now you’re trying to re-enlist ? A good VSO should be able to help you. What has your local Veteran Affairs office told you ? According the the VA office seeing as how I have re-entry code 3. I am able to re-enlist with a cleared medical waiver through MEPS. It will take some work between myself and a recruiter but I know what I want. The main reason for discharge was I suffered a concussion after my accident and was diagnosed with post-concussive syndrome that I guess goes hand in hand with a seizure disorder. But since I haven’t even had a seizure, I don’t fall under the 5 year rule. According to the recruiter I’m working with. That’s good news to hear. So being nosy , What Army unit were you assigned too while you were deployed to Afghanistan ? I have a shitload of Army buddies whom you may have… Read more »

Hondo

So, now he’s claiming VA, eh? Hmmmm. Seems to me I recall reading somewhere that VA eligibility these days requires either (1) completion of 180+ days of AD (or full term to which ordered to AD, if less) or (2) medical discharge for something that wasn’t preexisting on entry (unless aggravated during military training). rb325th, can you maybe help out here?

I wonder if this guy wrangled a medical discharge based on a service-connected condition? (He obviously doesn’t meet the 180+ days service criteria). If not – and if he’s made any VA claims for benefits (like maybe using the GI bill or applying for a VA loan) – “Zachary, you have some ‘splainin to do . . . .”

NHSparky

There’s no way in hell he could get a med board in three weeks.

Hondo

You’re almost certainly correct, NHSparky. But I’m sure we’ve both seen some uncommon stuff happen before.

I actually kinda hope the tool got an ELS, then was foolish enough to “grab for the brass ring” and applied to the VA – and slipped through the cracks.

The Federal government gets kinda upset when people try to get $$$ from them that way. And they get really upset when they’re successful.

MrBill

It’s gotta be ELS. If he’d been injured in Basic and got a med board for that, he’d have been retained on active duty until the process was complete; even under the best of circumstances, that would have taken months, maybe a year.

Just An Old Dog

Correctamundo, I ran Seps/BMP platoon at MCRD for 6 months in 1994. The recruits that had service related injuries were on hold at a minimum of 3 months, and that was like the fastest. Generally it was about a 6 month wait.

Hondo

Oh, and he got injured while on “liberty”?

Liberty my ass. People in the Army don’t generally call their free time “liberty” – it’s “pass”, “leave”, “training holiday”, or recently “DONSA” (“day of no scheduled activities”).

Sparks

Yes Hondo. I never heard the term “liberty” used except by Navy folks. I always went on “leave”, “pass”, etc. He needs more and stronger Google Foo if he’s going to rock these kinds of stories. But then again, how many posers have we seen who would have simply “looked better” if they had Googled the uniform regs before jacking themselves up like clowns.

thebesig

Because 3 weeks away from video games, laziness, and mother’s basement was simply to traumatic and it felt like being in prison. :rolleyes:

A Proud Infidel®™

Yeah, that, and he missed having his Mommy bring him freshly-mixed Kool-Aid and peanut butter sandwiches while he/it played video games in the basement of his Parents’ house!!

Mustang2LT

Personally, I preferred a tall cold glass of milk with my PB&J, but to each his own. The part about the video games most likely hits the nail on the head though. Shit, I didn’t have a video game system when I was a kid. My mom would kick us out of the house during summer break so we’d go to the park and play some ball or go to the library and read a book. Body and mind, right. This fuck stick has neither going for him. I mean, really washed out of Basic at Ft. Jackson? I made it through at 38 without a problem; what a punk.

Sparks

Mustang2LT I remember it well, “get out and play till supper time”. In the summer, “get out and play and let me get the housework done. Don’t be coming back and forth, slamming the screen door and getting under my feet. And if you track on my clean floor you’re gettin’ a whippin’!” So we stayed outside all day and…played. Used our imaginations and had a GREAT time. And when we finally heard, “Supper’s ready!” We were all, “can we stay out and play a little longer”.

ghp95134

Sparks … are you my brother?

Either that, or all mother’s go to the same Mother University.

This is scary stuff! I can hear Rod Serling’s voice now …. “Imagine, if you will …. ”

–ghp

ArmyATC

I think all mothers were the same. I remember my mother saying the same things.

Ex-PH2

It’s possible ‘mommy’ kicked his ass out of the house, isn’t it?

Not all parents are like loony Mooney’s helicopter mommy.

Mustang2LT

Judging by the end result with this clown, possible but not likely. Apple, tree, you know the rest.

Mustang2LT

Couldn’t finish Basic? Check
Claims PTSD? Check
Claims POW? Hmmm..better look at the addendum. OK, here it is, Check
Blames others for his fuckups? Check
Sucks other victims into his lie? Check
Can’t name anyone in his unit? Check

OK, the POW claim required me to check the TM for exact classification but after further review…..what we have here is a Mark 1, Mod 2 Poser. Time to PMCS this bitch! Sergeant! We gotta tune up a poser!

*Puts clipboard and pen away and sips from coffee mug*
What? I AM an LT, after all!

Doc Savage

Sir, yes Sir!

One ornery Senior medical NCO with the bed side manners of Godzilla and the empathy of a train wreck would be absolutely thrilled to take this Mark 1, Mod 2 Poser and spend some “quality time” educating him on the error of his ways, IAW FM 22-102, Wall To Wall Counseling.

Hondo

Doc Savage: I hear he’s trying to “reenlist” (see above). Given your MOS, maybe you can steer him to the proper MD to give him that “special” part of his physical.

You know, the 6’4″ MD everyone refers to as “Hulk hands”. (smile)

A Proud Infidel®™

Yep, RIGHT after you make sure he has both a sadistic streak and VERY piss-poor depth perception!!

ArmyATC

Oh, God. I still have nightmares about a Flight Surgeon like that.

A Proud Infidel®™

*PSSST!* *whispering* Sir, we NCO’s have it under control, the EM’s might apply a little peer pressure, but that’s it.

Mustang2LT

As I tell my squad leaders, do what needs done but don’t put that shit on Facebook!

Green Thumb

Dude should be working for APL w/ that checklist!

Mustang2LT

Maybe I should forward it to CMDR Phillip Dale Monkress and get a nice consulting fee. Naaaah, I gotta live in this town.

NHSparky

GT–a suggestion, if I may? In order to boost the Google ranking, might I ask that you use the FULL name of All-Points Logistics, rather than the abbreviated APL? This will ensure that All-Points Logistics garners the Google hits it so richly deserves and boosts it up to the top of the first page of searches.

Thank you.

Green Thumb

All Points Logistics.

Got it!

All Points Logistics.All Points Logistics.All Points Logistics.All Points Logistics.All Points Logistics.All Points Logistics.All Points Logistics.All Points Logistics.

NHSparky

Well done, Green! All-Points Logistics and the management team of CDR Phillip Dale Monkress the phony SEAL, and Paul Wickre the real Spandex-clad alcoholic, thank you for your attention to detail when discussing All-Points Logistics.

Enigma4you

There are a few of these asshats that really piss me off, this guy is at the top of the list.

WTF? I looked and cant find his facebook page, has anyone found it yet?

ZACKEPOO you dont fuck with gold star families.

A Proud Infidel®™

Has that slovenly little POS opened the gates of Hell upon himself, or what?

Mustang2LT

Yep. It’s about to be on like Donkey Kong. I almost feel sorry for this clown……almost.

NHSparky

Donkey Kong? More like Junior Rodeo on.

NHSparky

So he’s claiming he has flashbacks? Well hell, I can accommodate his worthless ass and give him some REAL flashbacks!

Mustang2LT

After reading about 1LT Pitcher this morning, I am angrier than I usually get when one of these shit bags appears on my phone. The side by side comparison really focuses you to the level of this guy’s asshattery. With the LT, you have a soldier who refuses to let a catastrophic injury stop him from serving his country who, like most others of his caliber, seeks no special recognition just the chance to prove he still has what it takes. Then you take this pathetic POSer who whines and cries and makes up bullshit stories to get attention and the contrast couldn’t be more stark. OH ZACHEEPOO, we got something for you……All the attention you never wanted, but so richly deserve.

Mustang2LT

Oh, and when the inevitable sock-puppets or the dreaded “Mommy” shows up…..

I found his Facebook page, and shared one of his photos to my page discussing his phoniness and within minutes he blocked me. His is aware, at 9:00AM Central time, Sunday morning.
Have a great day asshole. Too cowardly to talk, to bitch about me making a comment on one of his photos. What a turd.

Claim of MoH and Purple Heart … Capped with EFing with a Gold Star mother.

If LE is not involved … Well my boys they most certain should be by end of day!

Nothing further!

A Proud Infidel

Isn’t the MoH at the top of the list of Awards and Decorations you can be prosecuted for falsely claiming for personal gain, with the DSC being second on the list?

My brother loves to tell about a guy from the same high school class as him in basic. Every night in basic this guy would cry in his bunk for his Mother. Not silent weeping but full on screaming wailing. Until he was given the boot. On my brother’s first leave he ran into a bunch of their mutual friends who told my brother that the crybaby was telling everyone when he first got back home (after only a couple weeks in basic), that he was selected for a secret mission and sent home before it since he might not make it back. After the truth was revealed he left town, I’d be rather interested in finding what he’s up to nowadays.

Mustang2LT

*Puts on turban and holds sealed envelope to forehead*
I would say flipping burgers or working for All-Points Logistics.

ghp95134

Thank you, Great Carnac, Mystic of the East, for your munificent reading of that envelope that was hermetically sealed. It was kept in a #2 mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnall’s porch since noon today. No one knew the contents of the envelope, but you, in your borderline divine and mystical way, have ascertained the answer having never before seen the question.

============
And now a nod of recognition to Ed McMahon, retired USMC pilot:

McMahon hoped to become a United States Marine Corps fighter pilot. Prior to the US entry into World War II, however, both the Army and Navy required two years of college for their pilots program. McMahon enrolled into classes at Boston College and studied there from 1940-41. After Pearl Harbor was attacked, the college requirement was dropped, and McMahon immediately applied for Marine flight training. His primary flight training was in Dallas, followed by fighter training in Pensacola, where he also earned his carrier landing qualifications. He was a Marine Corps flight instructor for two years, finally being ordered to the Pacific fleet in 1945. However, his orders were canceled after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki forcing Japan’s surrender.

As an officer in the reserves, McMahon was recalled to active duty during the Korean War. This time, he flew the OE-1 (the original Marine designation for the Cessna O-1 Bird Dog), an unarmed single-engine spotter plane. He functioned as an artillery spotter for the Marine batteries on the ground and as a forward controller for the Navy and Marine fighter bombers. He flew a total of 85 combat missions, earning six Air Medals. After the war, he stayed with the Marines, as a reserve officer, retiring in 1966 as a colonel. In 1982 he received a state commission as a brigadier general in the California Air National Guard, an honorific awarded to recognize his support for the National Guard and Reserves.

Hondo

I’d really like to know if this tool is getting a damn thing from the VA. If he is, we need to get full contact info and documentation on this guy together in a neat package, then mail it to the VA OIG. Here’s their contact info:

http://www.va.gov/oig/contact/default.asp

They may not do a damn thing. But they certainly won’t if he’s drawing benefits and no one ever drops a dime on him.

C2Show

What a piece of shit… He even claimed he gave someone a DD214. He is deep into his lies that he does not remember what the truth really was.

Marine_7002

Does this scum-sucking low-life skidmark have an email address? I’m one of those sociopaths who don’t have Facebook. Would love to be one of the (presumably) many who are calling out this asswipe.

Mustang2LT

You mean he tried to defend himself using information gleaned from ShOrTbUsWiNdOwLiCkEr69? That is the living end. ROFLMAO!

Next we’ll hear about him/it hiding in the corner eating seven pounds of cheese in one setting while he/it cries and feels sorry for itself!!

Iraqi War POW… I guess that this turdling must have experienced the following Arabic saying “up close and personally”

“There is no better joy than the fat bottomed boy”

Frankly Opinionated

Zack Smith is a sorry assed underachiever, who cannot make it on his own name, deeds and accomplishments. He, like all other posers, feel that they must stand in the blood of people better than they are.
It is a lowlife bitch boy who would tell a story like he did to a Gold Star Mother; making him useless on this planet.
To claim POW status is also lower than low. To claim Medal of Honor is just plain dumbassery, as anyone with two brain cells would know that there is an OFFICIAL registry of awardees, but to claim Purple Heart status, is personal to me. Zack Smith, you have proven your cowardice this morning, when I “shared” a photo from your facebook page and you didn’t have the nerve to confront me about what I said, but rather, like the spoiled little boy who has lost an argument, you ran to your room and slammed the door.
You are a drooling, pants wetting, sissy.
Now, about your using Dullass Whipitnflogit as a reference source does nothing but show just how damned dumb you really are.
You are on your way to Goooooooooooogle Fame. This will not go away.
However you can lessen the impact by coming on here, with a sincere, contrite apology for you stupidity. I really doubt that you have the stones to do that, but I thought I would lay it out there for you.
Zachary Nicholas Smith on his way to internet fame.

Marine_7002

He’s too chickenshit to come on here and defend himself.

Mustang2LT

Perhaps, but maybe his mommy, a made-up veteran friend, or an Internet alter-ego (ie sock-puppet) can come along to defend him. Or if he’s really lucky, our own Legion of Doom (Phildo, Psulio the Foolio, ShOrTbUsWiNdOwLiCkEr69, or Chevy Chevette) can take up his cause!

Mr. Blue

You forgot “Crash” Bernath…

lol Crash is cool nickname, he doesn’t deserve that.

Maybe “Plane Wreck” or “OOPS!*, No Gas” Bernath?

Blocked on two F/B accounts now.

Other than the e-mail that he sent Jonn with the ArchSlayer url’s.. Little 22 day bed wetter hasn’t shown much of a defense for his actions.

Did I see correctly? This slimy turdlet is claiming a Purple Heart and the Medal of Honor? Where? I’d love to print off his words and ram them down his throat.

A Proud Infidel®™

Zachary Nicholas Smith, ever listen to Judas Priest? The name of one of their songs (one of my favorites when I was a kid), “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming”…

Or maybe “Turbo Lover”.

Bet he has one.

I dunno….since Stolen Valor is usually the tip of an iceberg of douchebaggery and illegality perhaps “Breaking the Law” would be more apropos.

He’s supposedly a “patrolman” for something called the Hideout Community in Lake Ariel, Pa.
