Robert Cooper; Canadian phony
Our partners at Stolen Valour – Canada send us their work on this Robert Cooper fellow who claims that he was a hero of the Canadian Army. SV-C has a tougher time verifying claims than we have;
Our team conducted a thorough review of all available records, this included websites, newspaper articles, photographic images, regimental tour books, searchable data bases of medal recipients and extracts from military documents in Canada and the US in order to determine the legitimacy of his claims.
SV-C then reached out to the regimental and corps associations, their museums and other organizations in which Cooper has claimed to have served. The publicly accessible records, that we have had the opportunity to review, do not support the majority of his claims. That being said, the absence of verifiable records alone does not conclusively prove that an individual is a fake or embellisher, it just indicates that there are no records…
What we do know, Cooper was a Signalman (Private) radio operator in I Headquarters and Signal Squadron located in CFB Calgary in the early 1980s. By all accounts, he had a some what lack lustre career trajectory, he couldn’t pass the Battle Fitness Tests required of all soldiers in the field force and it’s reported he went AWOL on at least 2 occasions! And, he was shown the door…
I guess he was at a trial in February wearing his phony finery and he was confronted by another veteran. After months of investigation, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police knocked on his door and took his medals;
Cooper claimed that the US awarded these medals when he served as a contractor in Afghanistan;
From the Red Deer Press;
“An investigation was commenced and on April 30 with the assistance from Stolen Valour Canada, the Wetaskiwin RCMP executed a search warrant in rural Wetaskiwin. Seven replica military medals were seized from the home.
“53-years-old Robert cooper of Wetaskiwin has been charged with (7) counts of unlawful use of military medals.
“The Wetaskiwin RCMP would like to remind the public the wearing of military medals and impersonation of military veterans is unlawful and disrespectful to our wounded and fallen and to their service to Canada,” added Hepburn.
He could afford the medals, but he complains that he can’t afford a lawyer to defend him from 7 counts of martial buffoonery.

He’s discussed, scaired and can’t spell…
Well, Canucks do spell some words differently eh?
He’s discussed alright, by others like us who smell a phony from a mile away. I’m waiting for the day he claims the right foot missing in the golf cart picture was left behind in one of the Stans. Scaried…Well I guess so when he risks being caught with all his poser material he made available to the public. The visit by RCMP no doubt scaried him to deaf. Life’s a bich when you have to keep looking back over yur showder.
Since when do we award medals to contractors, does that actually happen?
Can not even give a contractor a coin
Probably not today but there are 8 civilians who have earned the Medal Of Honor.
I like that he claimed he was awarded an ICM for service in the stan. makes sense. so I guess my buddy in Germany should go claim his China service medal, and maybe another buddy of mine currently away in inherent resolve can finally get his long awaited Vietnam service medal. or was it the European theater campaign medal?
maybe I also missed it, was this guy also a recon scout delta seal sniper in the 12th CTU as well?
what a tool.
No, he’s the guy in the CDU (Cookie Decorating Unit) who puts the frosting button dots on the Santa Claus/St. Nick cookies.
Also, he does NOT cook.
Robert Cooper, phony Canadian War Veteran’s, favorite position, in the cooking process, is as the end user. 🙄
Hey, there’s nothing wrong with that. That’s my favorite part of the process. Now, that being said, this dude is a Grade A shitbag.
Not too late for him to get some support from fellow Canadian Sticky Bums Wave (https://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=60388) or even some documentation from Forging Frank (https://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=74827).
I wish our law could treat stolen Valor the way the Canadians do.
I wish Canadians could spell Valor
Or labor…
Or color…
I am curious though. How do they spell “velour”? Do they add an extra “u”?
Sometimes, you have to ask why these people don’t just do what Trekkies and Battlestar Galactica people do: make their own uniforms and medals and stuff like that? They could then get away with relaying stories of their fantastical daring escapades in the double star system in Orion’s Belt.
It simply is not all that hard.
He couldn’t pass his Battle Fitness Tests because he didn’t exercise the proper judgement needed to be able to pass such tests, to include the appropriate exercises, eating plan, time management, etc. Going AWOL? Definitely a ding on his piss poor judgement.
Robert Cooper, phony War Veteran, continues his piss poor judgement with his latest phony pony acts. Then he goes on to lament as if the authorities were “unjustly” acting against him. In addition to the poor judgement, there’s a sense of “entitlement”, where he thinks that he could do whatever he wants, what he’s supposed to do be dammed.
Enculé
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Shack!
Good to have you back in the fight!
HEY Robert Cooper – TAKE OFF, HOSER!!!
Can’t afford a ‘lawer’? So sad…
This meter is located between the Crapometer and the VDometer on the instrument panel. (smile)
Robert Cooper is my ex boyfriend. He lost his leg due to diabetic infection of his toe. The surgery took place in St Albert. He lost his mind (started all the storytelling) in the fall of 2015 when I kicked him out for lying, drinking and refusing to work. He deserves everything the courts give him. I will be there to watch.
You have our sympathies. This POS has our utmost contempt.
Karma is a cast iron bitch. Sucks to be you, don’t it Robert Cooper, Valor Thief?
