Cesar Lorenzo; phony Vietnam veteran

The folks at Green Beret Posers Exposed discovered this fellow, Cesar Lorenzo, who claims the whole empanada – Ranger, Special Forces, combat veteran in the Viet of the Nam. In a video at Stories of Service he correctly tells his interviewer that he was born in 1954, but then he says that he joined the Army in 1968, when he was 15 years old (do the math, Cesar) and then he recounts his derring-do – you really have listen to it in order to appreciate the depth of the BS.

Here’s a teaser; he says he was in the 187th Ranger Battalion. He was also a POW and tortured for several days until he escaped and made his way back to US forces. But he doesn’t want to talk about it.

The Army doesn’t remember it that way;

Yeah, he joined seven years after 1968 in 1975, more than a month after Saigon fell to the communists. He was an artilleryman, so not Ranger or Special Forces qualified. His only deployment after 3 1/2 months on active duty, was to an Army Reserve unit in New York, not even close to Vietnam. He spent six years in the Army Reserves, got an honorable discharge as a Specialist (E-4) and then he shat upon his military career with tales of PTSD and heroism in a place where he never served.
