William C. Bradford; valor thief at Energy Department

| June 23, 2017

Nearly two years ago, William Clarke Bradford wrote an article for the National Security Law Review which proposed that the military should expand it’s target list to ““law school facilities, scholars’ home offices and media outlets where they give interviews” – all civilian areas, but places where a “causal connection between the content disseminated and Islamist crimes incited” exist.” He was a teacher at the US Military Academy at the time he wrote that missive and he was dismissed soon after that thing was published.

Ten years before, according to the IndyStar, he was parading around Indiana University wearing a Silver Star, claiming to be an Infantry/Special Forces major and a hero of Desert Storm.

Well, we got his FOIA and he was never promoted past Second Lieutenant as a Military Intelligence officer and he had never served on active duty except for training – no Desert Storm, his commissioned service didn’t start until four years after the first Gulf War. Of course, there are no awards in his records jacket at NPRC – no Silver Star;

Mr Bill noticed that Bradford has been hired at the Department of Energy now as the Director of Office of Indian Energy. His bio at the DoE doesn’t mention his pretend military career or his teaching stint at USMA, but it claims that he’s now a faculty member at the Coast Guard Academy and that he “volunteers as a reader to the Blind Veterans of America, as a qualified liver donor”. I’d look into all of that shit, including the liver donor thing. He’s a proven liar.

Oh, by the way, the Washington Post doesn’t like him either for his politics, so we agree for very different reasons.

“Liver donor”???

He’d probably donate calves’ liver instead of his own. Why does none of this surprise me any more?

Forest Green

What would “qualified” consist of; breathing?

Thunderstixx

The only way you can donate a liver is when you stop using the one you have…
And that means room temperature, maybe an organ donor or kidney donor, but I’ve never heard of a liver donor before, or at least one that’s alive…

Common Sense CO

You can actually donate part of a liver, the liver is the only pieces/part that regenerates.

Graybeard

Six years Reserves and he only makes 2nd LT? Does that sound right to y’all?

William Clarke Bradford is a proven liar.
William Clarke Bradford had documented his stupidity with that paper.
William Clarke Bradford is a suspicious character.
William Clarke Bradford makes incredible claims.

William Clarke Bradford – what are you hiding?

Hondo

If he did little or nothing, yeah. If I recall correctly, he’d have to meet certain professional educational requirements to be promoted to 1LT. It could have taken a few years after that before the USAR administratively separated him for non-performance; at the time he was serving, ROPMA was being implemented and things were undergoing transition at HRC-STL (the old RC PAC, later ARPERCEN).

The MSO during his time of service was 8 years, so it’s a good bet he was involuntarily administratively separated vice requested voluntary separation at the end of his MSO.

I for one would like to congratulate Hondo on the delicious bowl of acronym soup he’s served up here. For the completely anal retentive folks out there, like me, here’s the translation:
USAR: United States Army Reserve
ROPMA: Reserve Officer Personnel Management Act
HRC-STL: Human Resource Command- St Louis
RCPAC: Reserve Components Personnel & Administration Center
ARPERCEN: Army Reserve Personnel Center
MSO: Military Service Obligation

NBL, Buddy. *grin*

Hondo

Hey – what’s the Naval Biological Laboratory (NBL) have to do with this guy? (smile)

Graybeard

So, basically a goldbricker while in the Reserves?

Bum. He give Pogues a bad name.

Claw

I’m a liver donor.
He’s a liver donor.
She’s a liver donor.
We’re a liver donor.
Wouldn’t yo like to be a liver donor, too?

Just check the right box on your drivers license and you, too, can be a liver donor.

Dumbass. Another Radio Shack Battery of the Month member.

Wilted Willy

Did you all know that you can be a live liver donor? I had a friend with liver cancer, they removed his and took half of his sons liver. And they both grew back a full liver! This is a wonderful procedure that can save thousands of lives! So, get tested if you have a loved one with liver disease!

Graybeard

Good to know, WW.

Perry Gaskill

Nice liver jingle, Claw. Although I’m getting a sudden craving for a Dr. Pepper and a Moon Pie…

MSG Eric

mmmmm….moon pies.

“Indian Energy”?

oldgeezer

Yes. The Federal Government has final say over all matters on reservations – including energy. I live in the heart of the Bakken and am not an Indian but what the Government has done to them is a complete abomination. Both parties feel that they are incapable of making their own decisions and run rough shod over them. Tribe lose, taxpayers lose – bureaucrats win. Maybe we should tret them like adults – not wards of the government. Let them make their own mistakes. Just saying.

OWB

Naw, can’t do that. Bureaucrats gotta keep folks dependent upon them or the bureaucrats got no teet to suck on.

William Clarke Bradford NEVER MADE IT past the rank of 2LT, IMHO that’s the Officer equivalent of never making it past the rank of PVT/E1! What did he do, just go to college on a ROTC Scholarship and skate out of serving as best as he could?

FUCK William Clarke Bradford to death up the ass sideways with at least eight tons of rusty tangled concertina wire wrapped in asbestos that’s been soaked in diarrhea, Dioxin and Nuclear Waste.

David

or as we used to say: You know what the difference is between a private E-2 and a 2nd lieutenant? The private has at least been promoted once.

HMCS(FMF) ret

Fucking assclown… “liver donor”, WTF ???

It’s got to be physically painful to be as stupid as WILLIAM CLARKE BRADFORD.

HMC Ret

His office decides how many 5 Hour Energy Drinks each reservation receives in their monthly allotment. Other than that, it sounds pretty much like a made up job. Kinda like the assistant to the assistant to the assistant to the assistant, etc.

Hayabusa

I find it interesting that he was discharged from the Army Reserve in October 2001. I wonder if a certain event that occurred the previous month may have influenced his decision that he didn’t want to be in the Army any more…

Eden

Or perhaps he was discharged for refusing to deploy?

Poetrooper

The YUUUGE red flag here is the guy claiming to be a Chiricahua Apache which gets him all sorts of special treatment including his job. In view of his other lies, we likely have another Fauxahontas here.

OLD98Z

Rape is a crime, not punishment. Sodomy by instrument to inflict pain is torture.
This guy is a outed liar. I’m not trying to defend or support this guy – it just seems suggesting rape and torture is over the top.
If his lies helped him get hired, he should be fired.
As a member of the MI Corps, every time someone with an MI background gets outed, I feel disappointed.
He a blemish on the reputation of a group of devoted professionals.

streetsweeper

Shit will change soon as Rick Perry hears of this. Heh.

USAFRetired

Promotion to 1st lieutenant is a perfect attendance award, while promotion to Capt in active duty is 4 years undocumented misconduct.

Poetrooper

I’ve been reading around the Net and must say I agree with many of Bradford’s political views. That said, it would appear this guy may be another Frank Abagnale, that con man played by Leonardo DiCaprio in “Catch Me if You Can.”

He’s 6/5″ and born in Lansing, MI yet claims to be a Chiricahua, Apache, a tribe in Arizona. I have spent decades of my life living around Indians, especially Apaches, and never seen an Indian that tall. In fact they are notable for their short stature.

In another bio, he claims to have authored position papers on Bosnia for the Joint Chiefs, a quite unbelievable accomplishment for a reserve 2dLT.

Without question, Bradford is exceptionally bright but his many embellishments defy credibility.

The Old Maj

He would be the only 6’5″ Jewish American Apache I ever heard of. Given his long history of making stuff up stuff about himself it seems highly unlikely.

Papago Joe

Me Friends at BIA say him and warren from Massachusetts are full members of the
FULL OF SHIT band of the Bat Shit Crazy tribe

I heard rumor that William C. Bradford’s Tribal name is “Grounded Turkey” aka a bird that too full of shit to fly.

11B-Mailclerk

“Shitting Bull”

Skippy

Shitting Brown Cowbird
Would be more appropriate
Given he’s track record

Papago Joe

Real name is scrotom of chicken

Robert C Zornes

What else did he lie about? If any of that is on his application for employment, then he can be fired post haste.

Green Thumb

Just another “Phildosical” dude.
