NBC on Stolen Valor
Jeff Rosen reported this morning on stolen valor on NBC’s The Today Show and, of course, the report features our buddy Don Shipley. The report is mainly about Jonathon Short who defrauded a woman by convincing her that he was a wounded veteran who needed money to take care of a non-existent child.
I wonder how this report will affect the Brian Williams legacy. I particularly like the fellow with an ROTC Cadet Command combat patch. He definitely wasn’t putting forth the effort that he should.

So, the cops come, he goes after the producer of the segment, he apologizes to the soldiers at the base, but he doesn’t feel one bit bad about ripping off that trusting, na1ve young woman? What is he, Nigerian?
Now you know what his priorities are. His face should be plastered all over every cotton-pickin’ dating site available with a ‘Do NOT swallow his BS’ included. At least he got jail time for this.
I think these SV clowns should be rounded up, given weapons training, a ‘cadre’ name and a patch, supplies and deployment to a hot zone in a foreign country. If any of them survive, they’ll have something real to brag about. Let’s start with Spaghettiballs visconi and go from there.
Too bad his mom didn’t swallow.
I bet he will…
Fuck any kind of training for these idiots, just give them a uniform, a parachute, and a rubber ducky M4. Drop their sorry asses over any ME area infested with ISIS,Hamas, Al Queda, and any other muzzzie group and let’s see how much their bravado keeps them alive.
All these SV dudes claim so much training and of being such bad asses that there’s no need to give these guys any guns or additional training. Why the mere sight of these guys by the enemy would cause them to fall to the ground from laughter and die of heart attacks. No need for weapons for these bad SV assholes.
Hm. Okay. So… do I want Sierra Victor the douche to get me killed is the question
Oh, no, we don’t send them out with any REAL troops! We just form a unit of all SV idiots and drop them into the hot zone.
How nice it would be to see the Dutch Rudder Club exposed on national television like this.
Something tells me their stupidity and antics won’t be known only to those here forever.
They can’t help it. They’re just that friggin DUMB.
“Ow. It hurts.” The punk was talking about the cuffs on his wrists. Nice job by Rossen. I enjoyed seeing Ballduster’s pic in the little collage.
So, the last sound that this poser heard was a “click”? I know someone who has been threatening that.

I wonder if he could be charged with communicating a threat with that crack about ‘murder’.
This maggot is in freedom Stansbury’s shadow.
Freedom was walking around a post and smoking dudes.
Tough.
I was surprised he did not make it further in last year’s tournament.
Wonder how many shoots it took to get the interview with Senior and him not drop the F-Bomb :-).
Chiefs can talk without cursing when they choose to. Then being a Marine , I very seldom heard that polite convo. Joe
I know that Danny-boi (AKA “Crash”) is lurking… did you crash on Friday in Klamath Falls???

Looks like your MO… running out of gas and crashing in a field
If we soon hear about a lawsuit against the airplane’s manufacturer, then we’ll know it was Daniel A. Bernath.
“Up to its belly in mud.”
Sounds like date night for Danny-boy and the rest of the Dutch Rudder Club.
It looked more like that Bernathian little shit was only sorry he got caught when he was called on his fake badassery!
Thank you for exposing these criminals. I dislike sharing my earned honor with them.
What I don’t get is why is it illegal to impersonate a police officer but not a service member. If you tell someone you’re a cop and you’re not, you can be arrested. Tell someone you’re a soldier and you’re not, nothing happens. Before any morons start talking about the stolen valor act, I know how it works. What I’m saying is that it should be illegal to tell people you are/were in the military even if you’re not trying to gain anything from it.
I been in law enforcement for twenty years or so and this is best answer i got for ya, most law-abiding citizens automatically defer to someone they think is a cop, they will provide identificiation and pull over their vehicles if think being stopped by officer. That isn’t something they would do for someone claiming to be a veteran. Most cop impersonators get arrested because they are messing with people, fake traffic stops, approaching females and asking for their id’s and so on Years ago I was working an accident and guy claimed to be an officer, couldn’t even name his academy class, I ignored his comments and just gave him his tickets for suspended license etc., I doubt our prosecutor would charge someone with trying to impersonate an officer unless they were trying to compel someone to do something….
Donuts for dollars that NBC produced this piece to try to suck up to veterans after the Brian Williams debacle. Sorry, NBC, we’re not that cheap a date…
It’s better than nothing. I mean they already fired him. What else would you want them to do? An hour long special on stolen valor?
An hour long special? There are enough idiots out there to launch a series, or perhaps a network.

Hack, I think you might be on to something, maybe a special series, something like “To Catch A Predator”, maybe “Stolen Valor Exposed” where the posers and embellishers face off with a reporter as soon as they’re called out on their bullshit!

This is a great idea. NBC canned Chris Hansen a few years ago after he got caught cheating on his wife (with an adult female, thank God). This could give his career a full reboot!
I was wondering what happened to Chris Hansen. Well, If your gonna have that kind of job on TV, you had better have a flawless background.
Fired him? I thought he just got a 6-month vacay. Did I miss something?
Unbelievable! The punk actually called the cops on himself after he threatened to kill the reporter! You can’t make this stuff up! I loved it when the cops are slapping the cuffs on Shorty and he cries out, “Ow! Ow! No, it really hurts!”
Yeah, it hurts…cry me a river. In the words of my FTOP long ago to a domestic abuser we arrested…”Shut the fuck up, you’re giving me a headache…”
One of those good ideas,like when your new minted 2Lt says he has a good idea. Round up all fake Nam,A-Stan and Sandbox Warriors and send to ME.Their size would be greater than my entire Marine Corps. The muzzies would run out of ammo. Easy cleanup for whatever nations the IS were fighting. Joe
Funny about he cadet command combat patch. A lot of schools wear their school patch where a combat patch would go and the cadet command patch as their unit patch. We managed to successfully fight it because we were in a place with a lot of active duty folks who would object. Same reason we got out of wearing the ranger challenge tab. Alas after graduated they finally lost the fight and know my ROTC program is like the rest
I always hated the liberties ROTC took with the uniform. The school patch on the right shoulder was the worst, closely followed by Recondo and Ranger Challenge. I did like wearing real army ribbons on the class a’s though. Better than wearing ribbons for attending class.
