ISIS captures ID card
Andy11M sends us a link to the International Business Times which reports that ISIS has captured an ID card left behind by a soldier after an engagement and they’re playing it like they have the actual soldier;
Although the photo ID of Ryan Larson appears to be genuine, the US insists he was not captured by IS and remains on active duty.
“SPC Larson was attached to a unit conducting a partnered [operation] with Afghan Forces,” US military spokesman Commander Ron Flesvig said in an email published by The Guardian. “The soldier’s ID and some of the equipment were left behind after the [operation]. The loss of personal identification is unfortunate.”
It reminds me of the time that al Qaeda in Iraq tried to convince a willing media that they had captured an American soldier with this picture;
We’ll probably see the ID turn up in some dating scams now. I’m glad that Specialist Larson is with his unit and not a POW. But knowing this administration, they’ll be sending another $400 million cash ransom for the card.

Countdown to first phony claiming to be “Ryan Larson, POW”.
SPC Larson probably received an Article 15 for losing government property.
probably faked the photo himself, for future war stories.
The downside to this is that someone is going to use that ID card to open an account at the Baghram Devon Home Furniture Store, and SPC Larson will be spending the next five months convincing the 1st Sgt he didn’t do it.
Funny.
Well we all know folks with Photoshop skills don’t we? My big issue is that the media, always looking for that Pulitzer, takes this shit on face value instead of checking with the proper authorities first. But as long as ISIS and al Qaeda have a willing American media to put forward their bullshit, who needs Al Jazeera.
I do hope that SPC Larson has had the sense to freeze his credit reports until this mess gets straightened out. Please let us know more when there is more.
ISIS is in really big trouble. Unless things have changed the OD/Black Boot Army, that ID card is government property and, if found, is to be deposited in the nearest US Postal Service box!
A bit off track, but something that shows how stupid people can be who work for the exchange system.
When I ran the seps platoon at MCRD we had a shitbird who was trying to get out on medical. He was determined to be malingering and because of the shit he pulled at RSP ( I had him charged with UA for saying he was going to Mosque at the NTC then simply walking around their PX for 2 hours).
Anyway he was there about three weeks total. About 6 months after we gave him the boot I got a call from the Exchange Credit Program. Apparent this shitbag had conned his way into getting a DPP credit card and used it after he got sent home at a nearby base. Needless to say the pertson on the other end wasnt too happy about how the shitbag had milked the system.
WH is desperate to empty out Gitmo…looks like an opportunity is knocking.
Directly under the picture it suggests the missing I D will probably turn up in a dating scam….We’ll know when that is happening. That’s the day Craig’s List adds a new item on their dating site…..”MEN seeking SMELLY ASS GOATS who need a good humpin'”
Likely first customer says:
Experienced goat fckr hung like a short camel seeks goat bitch for fun and games, possible long term relationship. Must have no sand fleas, hopefully a nasty dirty p____y that needs a real camel jockey to ride her. If you smell like a tuna sandwich that’s been out in the sun for a couple of weeks, now that’s a real plus. C’mon you bitch, back up to me and let me make you scream BAAAAAAAAAHHHHH !!! I am American and have I D to prove it. It’s just that I have better tastes than my fellow soldiers. BTW, if a threesome with an armadillo sounds exciting to you, let me know. Live in my own cave and have a pot to piss in. Hygiene is only a greeting I use to another fellow goat fckr. We gonna get real nasty!
And I thought that I was the one around here who didn’t get out enough…geez…
don’t take your id card on ops, don’t leave your stuff behind. This guy is probably getting all kinds of stuff fro the guys/gals in his unit.
Hopefully it was a new CAC card without the social security number on it…
The problem could easily be resolved if the military went back to the kind of numbering system used before Social Security became you ID number. That’s just a stupid move on DoD’s dumbass part.
They have. New CACs come with a DoD ID number, which is unique to the service member. The push is slow going but this is also being implemented in forms and what not, where the ID number is used in place of SSN.
Good to know.
If whoever has it uses it to log into NMCI they will die a slow death waiting for that slow-ass system to work.
FUCKIN’ goat-molesting fleabags!
I hope that Soldier uses LifeLock…
Bernasty needs to get some Photoshop classes from ISIS.
SPC Larson, congratulations. For the rest of your career, you are “That Guy.”
Indeed, every time his guys are sitting around shooting the shit someone will always mention, “Hey you guys remember when Larson lost his ID for ISIS to recover like a dumbass?”…
That’s a hard-coded tag line now…
His nickname is Carl.
😀 😀
I bet he maxes his next PT test though.
“ISIS captures ID card”.
Is this like that talking box in the insurance commercial? I hope they’re treating it IAW the Geneva Convention rules. Maybe Obama will swap some more terrorists for its safe return…
I think I saw that picture or one very similar a few years ago.
