Leonard Frank Goethals; Phony Vietnam Vet in the news
We busted that goofy-looking POS, Leonard Frank Goethals back in July and now his local news is on him like white on rice;
The first time Montmayor met Goethals, he said, Goethals bragged about being a prisoner of war for three years after being shot down as a Cobra helicopter pilot in Vietnam.
“Nobody brags about being a POW. Nobody,” said Montmayor, 34, who served 13 years in the U.S. Army including stints in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Montmayor said Goethals claims that when his helicopter crashed, his co-pilot’s head was severed and fell into his lap – a situation no POW would voluntarily discuss.
“Nobody does that,” he said. “There’s only two awards nobody wants – a POW ribbon and a Purple Heart.
“People that are in special operations for one, people that are POWs, it’s heavily offensive to claim that you were one of them if you’re really not. It’s trampling on the memory of veterans that did serve back then and POWs that did.”
As a reminder, Frank, here, served less than 80 days in the Navy (the Marines have never heard of him) back in the mid-60s and he’s spent the last 40 years building this lie. He says that he’s been in every conflict since Vietnam, alternately as a pilot or as Special Forces depending on the day you ask him.
Thanks to Heather Perkins for mentioning us in the article and thanks to Jeff for sending us his work on this fellow.

Still a douchebag piece of shit. Karma is a reall bitch Leonard… hope she bites you hard in the ass, and soon.
How do we report these sleeze bags? I know I’ve tried to bring one to the attention of several groups, nut have not heard back. This one guy I know is especially disturbing because he “attaches” himself to people in the news, Claims he was in army intelligence and interpol and knows all the secrets in America. His fixation on several former soldiers and newscasters in his area is frightening resulting in restraining orders. He purports to be escorting them in his “super duper spy car” (my words) Let me know how to have him checked out.
Get a hold of Don Shipley. Just Google the hairball and he will pop up…
Also, send the info you have to TAH here. They seem to be able to sweat the truth out of just about everybody !!!
Must be waterboarding here or something…
Sounds to me like he’s duly qualified to run for Congress…. on any Democratic ticket.
Don’t give Vote Vets any ideas…..
Or take an advisory position at All-Points Logistics.
Get off the democrats they have nothing to do with this
This guy reminds me of the sound a big rock makes when it hits the water………….”DOUCHE”
Dipshit
I used to describe that as “sploosh” – I like your version better. Duly stolen.
3E9…And SPLASH +100! brother, you nailed it.
I don’t think I asked this before, but how did this trashbag spend a mere 80 days in the Navy DURING Vietnam, when everyone else spend a whole lot more? Especially when, in the mid-1960s, things were ramping up and draftees were getting called in?
How did he manage to accrue only 80 days, and then out?
Dirtbag.
Not sure of the precise circumstances, Ex-PH2 – but he apparently washed out of NTC San Diego as an E1. His FOIA says that was his only assignment after the recruiting station.

There are a couple of things that could have caused him to be released early, even during the beginning of the Vietnam build-up. Don’t know the actual reason in his case, so I won’t speculate.
Discharge Code: GMC-Enuresis.
Pissed the bed…
Put that out there, he’ll have one hell of a hard time dealing with that !!!
LMMFAO !!!!
One of the guys in my Basic Combat Training platoon was put out of the Army for wetting the bed every night.
The last straw was when he wet himself while standing in formation and being chewed out by our drill sergeant.
After that, I never saw him again.
Someone named Patricia claimed, on the original post about this turd, that he recently married her mother. I wonder how that marriage is right now with the local news pouncing on him.
I remember that post.
That has to suck.
Hopefully the mother can get an annulment. This maggot strikes me as a gold digger.
I am patricia, and it wasn’t a claim, it is the truth, he married my mother oct 18, and I wish I could say how this is all going down for him but I havnt spoke with her about any of this. She refuses to
Crap, I got robbed again. The Cav never issued me one of those really cool Cav Berets and he got one. I guess they only go to Cav POW’s who survived yet I never heard of one that did. I think you’re wrong on the bragging part though. I had a bunch of girls, when young, with their heads ending up in my lap.
I love the BDU’s with no name tag or branch, with the old Army black tanker beret, sleeves rolled in the wet services fashion and of course, ribbons and full “bright” insignia on the BDU, but with subdued patch on the shoulder….totally legit.
Its like he saw a movie once that mentioned the military and he based his uniform off of that.
Just another fucking bedwetter who now fantasizes about being a big bad war hero…go fuck yourself, Frank !
