Karl Dawson; phony war hero

| February 27, 2018

Our partners at Military Phonies share their work on this Karl Avery Dawson fellow. He claims that he’s a “highly decorated” Marine who was “missing in action” during a secret squirrel mission. That the Corps had already set aside a burial plot for him until he made it home and they took him to see the President, for some reason.

Then the Marine Corps bought him the uniform that he wore at his wedding;

Well, he was in the Marine Corps for nearly three years, but he was a 3072 Aviation Supply Man and he was discharged as a Private (E-1).

His only award is a marksmanship badge, no Silver Star or any of the other mountain of medals he is wearing.

He was begging to be caught with his medals and ribbons displayed like that. What a mess.

Word, man.

Word.

Another fucking substandard discharge clown.

I wonder if he wore that bullshit clown suit to a kids birthday party?

Ticklemonster.

Cris

The Marines have landed!

FuzeVT

No, just “The Marine”. By the look of his copious decorations, you would obviously only need him to take any beach. I’m sure he could tell you how he took the beach Khe Sanh

Martinjmpr

Shit, with all those ribbons and scare badges, if he wanted to take a beach all he’d have to do is email a photo of himself to the enemy, they’d piss their pants and surrender immediately.

Joe Blow

The only beach this jireen is taking is sunny beeches – cocksuuker

FuzeVT

All of those medals would just deflect bullets in any case!!

The beach at Khe Sanh…..brilliant!

Mick

Or he could regale us with amazing tales of derring-do from when he was ‘in the shit’ while patrolling the triple-canopy jungle of Beirut.

LiRight

I can’t wait to forward this story to some of my USMC combat experienced friends.

What a complete and utter asshole!

Now wait a minute. Maybe he “jumped into Cuba” with the other idiot……

It looked like a reversed negative – thought that was obsolete in the digital age.

I was going to ask the same thing. Someone flipped the JPG over?

AW1Ed

Unless he’s been awarded the coveted “Battle 3” ribbon.

Stacy0311

Not reversed.
Douchenozzle made a half-assed attempt to wear his multitude of medals and ribbons correctly.

When wearing Dress Blue A, medals are worn on the left, ribbons for which no medal exists are worn over the right pocket.

Except this twatrocket is wearing medals on the left (completely out of order) and ribbons (medal and non medal ribbons) on the right.

Shooting badges are not worn with Dress Blue A and NEVER on the right side

It’s like he went in a surplus store and said “1 of everything please”

No idea what that weird beer can insignia is over all of his ribbons

AW1Ed

Three year E-1 with a rifle pizza box. How could the Corps stand to lose such an outstanding Marine?

/sarc

thebesig

He was a marksman badge, with rifle bar, veteran. Yet, that wasn’t enough for him. 🙄

DevilChief

E-1 in an aviation billet after 3? He was a crank-stomper or low-speed, high drag.

Cris

Even the most amateur phony would know the silver star would be at the top, along with a couple others….and this idiot actually spent nearly 3 years in the Corps?

Cris

He went in in 1980 so he’s about my age…

Yeah, we were both at Khe-Sanh in ’68 when we were 7….

SFC D

I remember it well, I turned 6 there 😉

sgt. vaarkman 27-48th TFW

I was recruited at 14 yrs old because of my exceptional tactical acumen and they bungeed jumped me in from a Piasecki flying banana from 90ft to be a TAC air ctler. at Khe Sanh and was awarded the Pour Le Merit for my above & beyond to infinity heroism for knocking out a VC out house single handed.

Ka-Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!

yep any Marine would wear medals and ribbons…..gotta love it

FuzeVT

The problem is that there are ribbons in his ribbon stack that represent medals. Oddly, when assigning awards to himself, some of the highest (Purple Heart and Silver Star) are not in his medal rack. Those are relegated to the LOWEST spot were his ribbons-for-which-there-are-no-corresponding-medals rack.

Other medals in his ribbon stack:
Armed Forces Service Medal
Marine Corps Good Conduct
Humanitarian Service (AKA Purple Handjob)
Marine Corps Expeditionary Medal
Defense Distinguished Service Medal

Then, of course, we have to address the Navy Shooting badges.

And the ubiquitous Fourragere.

And whatever the F— is above his ribbon rack.

And the fact that it looks like he has silver jump wings below his expert jump wings. I’m no recon dude, but I’m pretty sure that’s not right, unless, of course, that is actually an EOD badge and he is therefore totally legit.

Maybe if he had stayed in the Marine Corps longer then the socks I’m wearing he would know how to be a better faker.

He’ll be so proud that he made a spectacle of his lies in front of God and everyone on his wedding day.

What’s it like to have your husband lying to you in front of everyone you guys know on your wedding day, Mrs. Dawson?

USMCMSgt (Ret)

His ribbons and medals may look out of order of precedence when we look at them, but when he looks down at them on his uniform, they look right.

It’s a matter of perspective, I guess.

Fuck. This. Guy.

Cris

You’re right! Hilarious! What a maroon! It’s one thing to place one ribbon upside down, but the whole GD rack?

IDC SARC

kinda but not really since nothing is supposed to be below the shooting ribbons…which btw aren’t authorized on a USMC uniform even if earned as a previous USN veteran

as a Marine Reg Corpsman I could wear my USMC shooting badges or my Navy pew pew ribbons..one or the other but not both, but it’s a no-no for Marines…as is the Army Service ribbon, NCO pro development, etc.

Claw

Upside down CAR.

Nuff said.

Mick

‘And the fact that it looks like he has silver jump wings below his expert jump wings.’

In the photos posted over at the Military Phonies website linked above, those wings above his silver jump wings actually look like enlisted Naval Aircrewman wings.

Everyone knows that a 3072 Aviation Supply Clerk is just the same as being a Naval Aircrewman.

Totally legit.

IDC SARC

looks more like the silver device is a wreath surrounding something rather than basic jump wings…just doesn’t look like jump wings to me, maybe one of the numerous air force badges currently available

Peter the Bubblehead

Correct me if I’m wrong, but on the medal side, isn’t he wearing what looks like the Defense Meritorious Service Medal BELOW the NDSM? (Of which it looks like he is wearing two side by side, but hard to tell with the photo quality.)

Claw

Small info update:

Peter, the medal is a Defense Distinguished Service Medal.

Also, the other medal that looks almost like the NDSM is a Vietnam Gallantry Cross.

Cris

I want to feel bad for the wife, but is she THAT naïve? But, then again, this happened a couple years back. Maybe she smartened up since then and left his ass.

Based upon my scanning of the groom’s writing, my guess is that not long after he was inducted, the USMC learned he is retarded. And that explains most everything.

GDContractor

He could just be dillusional. Did you consider that?

Combat Historian

He’s probably gonna claim next that that “Anon citizen Vietnamese” he’s complaining about is also the same guy who tortured him in a tiger cage in a VC prison when he went “missing in action” during his secret mission to the Viet of the Nam…

thebesig

Here’s a translation of what Karl Dawson, phony War Veteran, said: I want to talk about Tippmann and Associates. They’re located at 4410 New Haven Avenue, Fort Wayne, Indiana. This company allows an anonymous Vietnamese citizen to do the following: * Threaten people * Call women names * Cause damage * Creates a hostile work environment * Injures a highly decorated combat Marine This company refuses to do anything about this. They ignore complaint paperwork submitted to them. In addition to this, Mark Bailey did the following: * Falsified documentation * Sent threats via email * Lied to the insurance company rather than pay a few dollars for medical bills and expenses. In order to remedy this, we’re going to go to take the following actions to fight back: * We’re going to notify the media and get them involved. We’re going to contact Channel 15 and Channel 21. * We’re going to contact the GAO that handles government sales and purchases from Polar King Mix. My friends will tweet about this company. Do not work for this company. They are very bad. They cheat employees. They bribe employees like me to make false statements. Those involved are going to end up in court. This includes Dan Kong Tram. He lives in a boat in Indiana. Less I receive additional information about this company, I’m going to pass this information along to my friends. This company violates people’s rights every day. There is also an EEOC complaint, filed on them, as well as documentations. She’s getting involved. There are plenty of photographs, and documentation, of all the illegal OSHA violations. We’ll see how much their Catholic Charities (?). Besides, they’re allowing a Vietnamese, who’s not even the natural citizen, to violate the rights of combat Marine. He can’t sleep, how about that. That’s amazing that a company, and many like it, stay in business. It’s also amazing how he could keep his job. The other employees know exactly what he’s doing. I’m inside the company. Though they’ve already signed statements; they bribed 265 other people to sign the statements. These… Read more »

Gotta love how Karl admits to taking bribes in order to make false statements.

My comment fits right into this post. As I posted in the past, I spent two years in the Army Guard which I did not talk about much since the Guard is State run, but after The Guard was deployed over seas into harms way, I felt different in that maybe I should wear an item of clothing which represented my Guard unit. I ordered a ball cap with ARNGUS CO B on top and 1ST BN 242 INF on the bottom. The Sales girl asks what I would like embroided in the middle so I said to put something in that represented the Army Infantry. She says I’ll get a rifle in the middle and I said it was ok. Hat comes in yesterday afternoon and when I open the package, an oh shit comes out of my mouth and every bad thing I did in my life time flashed before me. Turns out she had the Expert Infantry Badge (army) embroided on the cap. She did not tell me the name of the badge on the phone. The first thing I did was to razor off the stitching’s which took me over two hours and left a horizontal spot across the cap. I joined the Guard after the Navy and did not do any Army recruit training. Every thing was on the job training. Everything on my Navy caps are legit. I like to comment on this site and would not like to be the COMMENTEE on this site. Boy, I love to make a short story long. Since the hat is a custom job, no refund on it, so i’ll still wear it.

Daisy Cutter

[facetious]

We’ll have to get a ruling on this. Before you removed the emblem, did you take a bathroom selfie with the cap on?

[/facetious]

Doc Savage

Leather vest and doo rag?

Jeff LPH 3, 63-66

Daisy Cutter; If I did that, And it got out, it would have broken my virginity about being a phony Navy or Arngus embellisher of un authorized emblems/badges etc. If the ruling is against yours truly, do I get 30 lashes with a Ronzoni wet noodle from the TAH crew.
P.S. I love this.

Daisy Cutter

In full disclosure, I at one time wore an unearned Purple Heart on my Navy uniform. I probably had some others on there that I didn’t earn. It was perfectly legit and no disrespect intended.

Venture to guess as to the circumstances this was not in violation of the Stolen Valor Act?

Claw

Not Jeff, but I’ll venture a guess.

You thought it was the ribbon for the Navy “E” Ribbon.

Am I close?

Daisy Cutter

It was a U.S. Navy sanctioned Disney movie filmed in San Diego called “Tiger Cruise” with Hayden Panettiere and Bill Pullman. They never used me in a shot with that uniform on, however. I was in dungarees on the flight deck, however, but you can’t see my face. There was a disco scene where I was dancing with Hayden but they ended up not using that scene either. I got nuttin’ but a story.

I know there have been debates about this, but I checked into it beforehand. This is an exception, that you are portraying a fictional character on film. People report incorrectly that you have to purposely screw up your uniform in a film so it is not authentic. Meaning incorrect placement, etc. This is not true.

rgr769

I played an undecorated Union Army cavalryman in “Getysburg,” and part of my heroic scene where I saved a wounded LT made it to the big screen (about 2 seconds), but all I got was a TNT logo’d T-shirt that said, “background artist.”

Jeff LPH 3, 63-66

Claw, speaking of the “E” Ribbon, I replaced my Navy Whites made out of a polyester/cotton mix I believe and had my Engineering E’S and Ships patches that I saved after I threw out my sea bag years ago. I noticed that the new E’S are Ribbons and my Red E was cotton that was sewn on the jumper sleeve. I had to go on a web site that dealt with awards, uniforms etc and was told that I could not switch over to the red E Ribbon which I was not authorized to wear since I was already out of the Navy for over 50 years so I had a retired neighbor who sewed on the ships patch MM3 crow and Red combat Engineering E patch.
Great job. I was authorized to wear the crow when I started my monthly Reserve meetings and nothing was said about the OKIE 3 ships patch even though I passed the MM3 test onboard but not able to wear it until My Reserve time. I passed the test just before I got out so hence the not wearing it onboard at that time. I hope no one rats me out on this one.

Jeff LPH 3, 63-66

Doc Savage;, Nah, the only thing I was “Vest”ed in was my 401 K plan at work and the only doo is on some of my Doo Wopp T-shirts/sweat shirts that I wear. I did own a 2 cycle rice burner bike, not a Harley many years ago when I lived up in Long Beach LI, and used to ride it out to the Oak Beach Inn in Suffolk County NY. on the weekends before I retired.

Looks like the Marine’s are getting into the TAH starting gate. Get out your Kelco class calculator slide rule (flats) and the TAH racing form and lets get to work.

In the 2018 TAH Phony Race we have six (6) prior entries under “Marine.”

I am classifying Karl Dawson under “Unearned Awards” (the fourth such entry) with points for having had real service, claiming Secret Squirrel, and Full Retard.

This guy is not just a valor thief but he completely nicked my credulity.

I’m going to take a guess and say that KARL DAWSON is into seekrit skwirrl SQUEAKHOLE OPS at the local truckstop.

I am on it now. He has a Meritorious Squeakhole Service medal with 3 Bronze Starfish devices!

Why did I not see that earlier?

Look at the top of the cover. Is the EGA pin supposed to be that high up?

It’s overshooting the edge of the frame. Doesn’t look right.

I agree. Maybe he is using the oversize EGA; sorta like our SEAL phonies love the oversize trident.

Does anyone know if the Defense Distinguished Service Medal has EVER been presented to a USMC SSgt?

Hell, I’d be surprised if anyone enlisted – except perhaps some of the CJCS SEAs – had ever received one.

Scanned the DDSM Wiki entry and no enlisted members listed under Notable Recipients.

Lowest on the totem pole was O-6.

C’mon now, this guy’s statement is extremely
coherent! Stop picking on in him! I read it from top to bottom and understood every word of it.

Course, (true story coming up) last week Monday I slipped on ice in the driveway, flew backwards and landed with the back of my head on the bottom deck step. Almost but not quite became unconscious; managed to crawl back into the house and eventually found my way to the hospital. After five hours or so after being cat-scanned, given a neck brace, pampered by good looking nurses and prescription-ed a wad of drugs, I was eventually sent home. Still not right in the head (some of my friends say I never was in the first place) but yeah, this guy makes perfect sense. 😉

Lying Arschloch!!

Just An Old Dog

Noted that he was discharged about 60 days short of what should have been his actual EAS as a Private from Sub-Unit at Camp Pendelton.
Marines aren’t discharged overseas for any reason. Those that are within a certain amount of days of EAS are sent to Sub Units and processed, also those who were given punitive discharges are treated the same.
