Scotty Kamakahohie White; phony soldier smuggles aliens
The Associated Press tells the story of Scotty Kamakahohie White who was sentenced for smuggling aliens in San Diego the other day. He tried to get a lighter sentence by telling the judge and the prosecutor that he was honorably discharged from the Army after three combat tours in Iraq and five years of service from 2001 – 2006;
A review of White’s records found he had served less than 10 months and not been involved in any combat operations.
When confronted, prosecutors say White admitted he had gone AWOL and been kicked out of the Army.
He agreed not to oppose a 30-month sentence for his role in the smuggling.
Since the Iraq War began in 2003, he would have had to do back-to-back tours of Iraq. It’s the math that gets them every time. Nice try, though. I remember Charles Chavous whose phony stories about being a tunnel rat in Vietnam got him 5 years probation for a murder.
Mr. White got 30 months in prison and three years of supervised release. I guess he shouldn’t have pissed off the prosecutor.

And even if he HAD served and gotten out honorably? He STILL did the crime, so he needs to pay the time.
In this age, never, EVER lie about your past. Digital is forever.
And with a name like Kamakahohie, I’m willing to bet dollars to doughnuts he’s an “islander”. And most islanders am big boys. Not someone who can blend into an average crowd easily.
I’m interested in the aliens he was smuggling.
What planet were they from?
Did he have an insider at some shadowy grubbymint agency that fed ‘papers and documentation’ to him to cover their presence?
How did they blend in with the rest of us?
They weren’t Slags, were they?
There are so many untold stories in this.
He was building his “men in black” resume: 😀
It would appear that All-Points Logistics is pulling out all of the stops to fill their labor requirements.
Most of the good rank and file APL employees got tired of Commander Phil Monkress’s ( the CEO of All-Points Logistics) lies and non-stop “shafting” them and split. The nefarious and felonious senior staff stayed on board.
So now Phildo is reaching new lows.
My only advice would be to get someone that is fucking competent to do this but hey, good help is hard to find, right Phildo?
I also wonder if Phildo leveraged his LEO claims and “Legal Department” claims to assure this maggot he would not get into trouble if he got caught.
Who knows?
Yeah, well a lot of qualified dudes bailed out when APL lost contracts and Commander Phildo needed to cut costs. His staff was largely made up of old drinking buddies, anyway. Then he hired his tattooed family members who had NO business experience.
Nice to see a prosecutor do his/her homework and burn an a-hole who tried to play the stolen valor card for leniency at sentencing.
Would that ALL prosecutors did such homework. Because you know this happens damned often, and I’d guess most who try get away with it.
Several months ago, I received an e-mail from a district attorney in Oregon, who was prosecuting a Viet Nam veteran for murdering his Vietnamese wife, and was claiming Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as the cause.
I didn’t recognize the individual’s name, but he had told investigating authorities that he and I served at the same time in the Phu Lam Signal Battalion, located in the suburbs of Saigon.
So, the prosecutor wanted to know what it was like, and how much combat we saw in Saigon.
Via e-mail, I replied that everybody’s experience was different, and combat incidents in and around Saigon (or more realistically, acts of terrorism) did occur, but it wasn’t a constant phenomenon, or anything like the Hollywood movies.
I described a couple of my own terrifying experiences, plus comparing that with my numerous pleasant memories of Saigon.
In a follow-up e-mail, the prosecutor expressed gratitude for the information, which strengthened his case.
I don’t know what finally happened regarding the Phu Lam Signal Battalion veteran who was being prosecuted for murder.
But, for me, it was an interesting experience.
This somehow does not resonate with me. What the hell does “time in service/time in combat”
have to do with his charges? If one year in service equals one smuggling charge, so does that mean a retiree can smuggle in 20 illegal aliens and expect a break? Or does one tour in combat equal six illegal alien passes; for a total of 18 in this case? NUMBERS man, I need numbers to make a logical decision! At least now any illegal smuggled into this country knows his enabler will, if caught, be presumably sentenced based on military experience. Best chance to avoid getting caught would obviously be in the hands of a retiree, who has more to lose.
