This week’s Stolen Valor viral video
So this is the “stolen valor” flavor of the week. I can’t even get mad at a dude who “steals” the valor of everyone who ever wore the National Defense Service Medal, otherwise known as the “fire guard ribbon” and only aspires to the rank of private first class Lance Corporal (E-2 E-3).
Fire guard is the one-hour nightly duty that we all rotated through in basic training to make sure our barracks didn’t burn down while we were all sleeping. We also all got the NDSM for being in the military during certain periods of service. Everyone got it for breathing while in uniform.
Yeah, the guy probably didn’t show up at this graduation straight from his duty assignment, he may have been a Marine at one time for all we know – that hasn’t been proven at all. He just doesn’t wear the uniform the way it should be worn. And he’s a little goofy looking – I’m not sure that recruiters don’t induct goofy-looking people.
But here’s the news report. I think folks are stretching for these videos nowadays.
Here’s the whole video;
Call me when you catch a Soup Sandwich, a Round Marine, a Round Ranger or a Ballduster McSoulpatch on video. This guy is the least inspired phony of all time.

No “V” on his NDSM? Pfffftttttt.
His award for subsequent NDSM reads:
“Bronze star in leu of second award and an appropriate yet measured bashing at TAH”.
That is all …
Ah! The very precious, much sought-after gedunk medal!
I had only one of them. I have no idea what happened to it, but I can go get another one at the surplus store.
He does look a bit goofy, but that might be his dentures. He’s only wearing private’s stuff, so I guess he didn’t stick it out very long.
(facepalm) So proud to be from Indiana.
…FWIW, I know some of the morons who sadly grace the pages here seem to rock the NDSM like it was some cross between the MOH,VC,and Order of Lemon, but I’ve got a slightly different take on it.
I would imagine we’ve got some multi-generation military families represented here – we are, and it goes back to WWII and Korea (nobody in during Vietnam) through to a year or so back when my son finished his time with the SCANG…and of all the decorations
between six of us, the one we all share is the NDSM. Granted, it don’t mean all that much…but it says we all served, if not necessarily at the pointy end, and someday I hope my grandson pins one on.
Not sure if all that made any sense, just my $.02, YMMV.
Mike
Props to you and yours.
Amigo, it means you and your kin served when this nation was at war and needed your service.
That’s hardly something that “doesn’t mean all that much”.
That’s the way I look at it, Mike. My oldest son, his grand dad, an uncle and I share that.
Not only do I understand but I share your sentiment. My son and I share a couple of awards, but the GCM and NDSM are two that we are both proud of today and then. I almost feel sorry for this guy. I think he just wanted to be proud of his service but didn’t accomplish that very well.
BRAVO ZULU to the US Marine who not only busted his chops, but did so very tactfully. I would enjoy meeting him or anyone else that busts out phony Vets face to face like that. I’d want to meet them someplace that serves adult beverages so he or any others could enjoy a shot and a beer on me!
Holy mother of God… that dude is as fucked up as a box of fallopian tubes.
Wait, is that the Paraguayan Special Forces uniform? Could be Uruguay. I get them confused.
When he steals valor, he only takes a little bit, as a courtesy to all of the poor needy Delta Force Navy Seal Ranger Space Shuttle Door Gunners out there who don’t have enough valor to keep them alive. A true humanitarian. I salute you!
I can’t be the only one wondering if he’s related to that carney-looking tool “rockin’ the lie” in Georgia . . . .
(No, I’m not implying this guy is lying; dunno. Just commenting on the resemblance.)
Just in clarification, he is rocking LCpl E3 not PFC.
Thanks, I was just about to post that. E-2 (PFC) in the Marines is the same insignia as E-2 in the Army: A single chevron with no other embellishments (no crossed rifles in this case.)
All that fireguard I pulled while in OSUT at Benning in 1979, and I didn’t even get an NDSM for it…(sniff sniff…mope mope)…
This dude looks like Gene Hackmans retarded cousin.
If he hadn’t been wearing the ribbons and medals all f**ked up, he might have ALMOST gotten away with it (what? no cover while outside?). But those medals and ribbon done did him in.
Posers gotta pose.
No Natty D? I TRUSTED YOU TODD! I TRUSTED YOU!
Trust is like Macaroni and cheese. Without macaroni, it’s just cheese.
Wait…
Bought a car from a Marine at DLI who was goofy looking – butt-ugly, round-shouldered, always looked like bad posture even when he was ram-rod straight – the Marine det there decided to make him “look like a Marine” and basically PTed him so constantly he failed his Russian course. Smart kid, great guy, too.. could run three miles in ‘way under 18 minutes – but looked goofy so they rode him till he failed. Last I heard he was in a radio-ops school.
This sicko must have a thing for young girls. I mean he shows up at a goddamn High School Graduation????!!!!
Just wondering does he have enough NDSM’s on!! I see 3 with no stars.
LCpl with a blood stripe also. They never learn
