Donald Jerden Hunley; con artist, valor thief (records added)
According to the Citizen Tribune, Donald Jerden Hunley was convicted of ripping off his local American Legion Post of more than $10,000 while he was pretending to be a highly-decorated veteran;
In a sentencing hearing before Judge Bob McGee, assistant district attorneys Willie Santana and William Bright explained to the Court that in December 2015, Hunley joined the American Legion Post #2 claiming to be a decorated veteran, Sergeant, and victim of combat-related post traumatic stress disorder.
In reality, Hunley lasted five weeks in the military and was medically discharged before he even completed basic training. Based upon his lies, Hunley obtained leadership positions in the Post that allowed him access to the Post’s bank accounts.
According to WBIR, he’d done it before;
In 2007, Hunley went to churches in Jefferson County and told a story abut being an Army Ranger, sniper, and decorated veteran who received an American flag from First Lady Laura Bush when he was airlifted to Walter Reed Medical Center. By sharing that story, he was able to collect $7,000.
He was convicted in 2008 for that.
I guess they don’t know how to use Google in Tennessee, because I found another arrest for receiving stolen property in 1998.
Now, his records. Actually, he had less than 5 weeks of active duty, He spent more time on DEP than active duty;

His head is a square.
His head is a freaking square!
LMFAO!! It is!
Sponge Don Square Head?
Yep. A honest-to-God blockhead!
Lucy, Linus, Pigpen, and even Charlie Brown approve and endorse your comment. (smile)
So in this case it would be true when he tells the barber “Once around the block”.
Must be hell finding a hat to match.
Haven’t you ever heard of “blocking” a hat?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat_block
He was grown in a box like a designer watermelon.
The top of his head can always be used for a card table.
Or for the boys at the BTJT Deli (home of the World-Famous Cockmeat Sammich) can put their beer or other beverage on when DONALD JERDEN HUNLEY is “serving” them…
Here we go again.
Phony Ranger, phony sniper, and, of course, a raging case of The PTSD.
— sigh —
The only things missing are a motorcycle, a leather vest covered in poser bling, a doo-rag, some dumbass-looking white-framed wrap-around mirror-lensed sunglasses, and a long-suffering service dog.
More like “Phony man”.
Yeah, but he got the National Defense Service Medal, of whatever the fuck it’s called. How the hell can I get one?
According to the records, apparently you get one of those just by showing up to basic training. I guess that means that even dopes like me who were part of the adequate forces in the Army Reserves should have one.
He has a couple of those covered as well…. motorcycle and the leather vest full of patches..
FTA:
More than just a wrist-slap, refreshing.
KA-BLAM!!!
(that’s the sound of Hunley’s prison cell door slamming shut)
“Based upon his lies, Hunley obtained leadership positions in the Post that allowed him access to the Post’s bank accounts.”
Me, I don’t care. It’s about time that one of these posts suffered as a result of their shoddy, or nonexistent, examination of qualifiers.
I agree.
Roger that!
Our training NCO (AGR) retired and became our local VFW President. When I joined, he made me submit a copy of my DD-214, and he was the person who processed it. WTH are these other clubs doing?
But was it authenticated? Or taken at face value?
Taken at face value by the same individual who authenticated it? Or vice versa.
If you can limp really good they look the other way. A cane is helpful.
How did this loser get past the guards at the gate? That’s a rhetorical question, as it appears there were no guards. I suppose he impressed them with tales of heroism and such. It’s helpful to mumble to oneself such that others can only decipher a small portion of what is said. Making sure the part that is heard concerns the horrors of war, such as “the gooks are in the wire”, “broken arrow”, “We’re about to be overrun”, etc. Shedding an occasional tear over the one who died in your arms is also very helpful.
I hope this AL goes the way of the gooney bird. They were so interested in having a ‘hero’ as a member that they didn’t even do any due diligence. Only when they get robbed do they seem to care. I hope the rank and file throw out the leadership and elect honorable men and women as leaders. The ones they have suck. If I were a member I would resign in protest and find a Post with sound leadership.
Blockhead here lasted five weeks in basic; must have received the coveted “Trainee Discharge Commendation Medal” as part of his “highly decorated” awards rack…
Or maybe a Driver’s Badge with “Floor Buffer” Clasp.
I once had a discharge during Basic Training in Halifax.
Thankfully, a Z-pack did the trick. 😉
Depends upon the origin of the discharge, RCAF. Some are of more concern than others. Some will dissipate in seven days if left alone or a week if treated. Others will rot off your dick.
He was not the only one to drop out.
The rest of his boot camp class are heard to say often “We lost a lot of good men. They’re the lucky ones.”
Come on Jonn, your talking about Tennessee for crying out loud, where many refer to the 6th grade as “my senior year” and you want them to use Google. Where having sex with a 16 year old is acceptable as long as she is related within the second degree of consanguinity. Where orange is the favorite color because they can wear it to a football game then when picking up trash on the highway. Where we love for them to visit Arkansas and take home those hated orange road construction barrels and use them for front yard planters. As far as being able to scam the American Legion, they had it coming. They will take almost anyone to boost membership and in most cases don’t check. Same can be said for the VFW but them seem to be a little more alert, that is unless you show up on a Harley wearing a vest with a tattoo and do rag then you are good to go.
*you’re*
Is this guy “Thor” that people are talking about? 🤣
Nah, this is the guy that Thor is having is hourly “conjugal visit” with…
BITE THE PILLOW, BYTCH”
He’s gonna have a Thor ath.
Good one, Eth Eff Cee.
Know the most popular pickup line at a bar in Tennessee? “Nice tooth.”
That’s how we know the toothbrush was invented in TN.
Anywhere else, it would have been called a teethbrush.
Donald Jerden Hunley, the blockhead phony, was never an Army Ranger, never a sniper, and never a highly decorated veteran. Google hit.
What a fucking clown.
This bullshit is in AL Post #2. Start checking records and vetting these shitbags.
I wonder if he is a relation to Horace Hunley, Submarine $$$ backer. What happened?? No Seal posers this beautiful Saturday morning in South Florida??
Would be nice if he met a similar end…glug, glug, glub
My NDSM just fell off the wall.
Donald Jerden Hunley, Baron Harkonen called, he wants his face back.
The snark must flow.
Donald Jerden Hunley was eligible to join the AL (via award of the highly coveted NDSM) even though he received a for medical reasons Entry Level Separation. Annual dues $35.00.
Even if Donald Jerden Hunley (34 Whiz Wheel points, apply your own multiplier as appropriate) had never served a day in uniform, $20.00 will gain membership in the AL through the Sons of the American Legion program.
Not too bad of an investment. 20 or 35 bucks can be parlayed into 20K+ if you play the cards right with enough gullible inattentive people.
P.S. For those phonies who want to start being con artists early in life, membership in the Sons of the American Legion program for those under the age of 18 is only 10 bucks./smile
Claw, Sons membership is contingent on a living father/grandfather who is an eligible Legion member, or deceased with proof of service and death certificate. Not open to anyone off the block…the AL Post in question failed to do the due diligence
I know that. Also know that Sons are non-voting members and can’t hold a leadership position.
But no, the AL Post didn’t fail to do due diligence. Donald Jerden Hunley received a legitimate National Defense Service Medal, which is all is required (along with 35 bucks) to become a full fledged voting member of an American Legion Post.
My comments were Tongue-in-cheek/sarcasm.
((Over))
Couldn’t even hack it at Realaxin’ Jackson
A whopping five weeks of training? That puts him right there with John Giduck!
Friggin’ donut artist!
He looks like a Minecraft rendition of a convicted paedophile.
Donald Jerden Hunley was going to try to be a 62J in the Reserves.
MOS 62J – General Construction Equipment Operator.
One must think in terms of Air Compressors, Jack Hammers and Soil Compactors.
But perhaps Donald Jerden Hunley will qualify for the MOS of 62J while in the Gray Bar Hotel after Bubba, Julio, Thor and “Mr. Tiny” keep hammering his ass to compact that breaching turtle head./smile
He gonna need a lotta Jergens hand lotion
More like single serve margarine pods….. Jailhouse Astroglide
No!!!!
Not here!!!
I have met more Navy Seals, Green Berets, Delta Force, Marine Recon Snipers in my own county (one over from Hamblen County…) then I did in 20 years of service.
They must come here for a reason…
Hang around long enough, Master Chief, and every damn one of those losers you mentioned will make an appearance here on TAH. Losers gonna be losers.
He looks like someone set his face on fire and beat it out with a pair of golf cleats, what a doughnut-guzzling pizza-faced meat-gazing turd burglar!
His MOS is 11-Battering Ram Head.
INCEST BABY ! A classic example. Tiny little fucked up Downs Syndrome face plastered on a head that wouldn’t fit in a 5 gallon bucket. How ITF did this freak of nature fool ANYBODY ? You can just look at this short bus bastard and tell he is a turd baby that never has or will, amount to shit. Just knowing the oxygen that is wasted by this bed pissing freak is a damn outrage.
