Herb Severson – Phony Combat Wounded
The folks at militaryphony.com send us their work on Herbert Roland Severson Jr, who claims he served in the Army for 22 years, was Airborne, a Ranger, was with Special Forces, was with the 75th Regiment, was in Grenada, and was awarded two Purple Hearts.
When talking with someone about a M67 fragmentation grenade, he recounted his experience with it…
There were a lot of the same claims reinforced in this thread…
Then, there is the matter of the two Purple Hearts, you know, as Marine would say “from being in the suck”…
To be Frank, his Facebook page is littered with claims going back many years. They’re not hard to find. We only included a few choice ones here to give you a feel of the experiences he talks about.
By looking at his military records, you wouldn’t believe it is the same man…
But the photo kind of confirms it…
that is, if you squint your eyes and try and apply age progression techniques with his more recent photos…
So, almost six years and he got out as an E-1. That didn’t stop his commitment to “defending the constitution” and helping his fellow veterans. He plead guilty to embezzling close to $6,000 from an American Legion Post.
He did make Sgt (E-5) at one time but shot right to E-1 before getting out. Probably a Big Army screw up.
They could not find anything in his military records that supported the claims of 22 years of service, Airborne, Ranger, SF, Grenada and most importantly, no Purple Hearts.
His motivation to serve his country is so strong that apparently, he’d go back in for the right MOS.
Try as I may, I couldn’t find a picture of his workbench. All I know for sure is the man seems to be a few shingles short of a square plus Plumb and Bob must have left his crooked ass a while back.

Had to have been something good to get the hammer dropped on him like that. Drugs are one way, major theft another.
Cocksucker.
He serves 6 years, still an E-1 and gets a “good conduct medal”? what the hell is that?
Has it occurred to you, desert, that he advanced and was BUSTED down to E-1 before he was discharged?
Good Cookie for his first three years before re-enlisting, not for his last three years when his last random urinalysis sample was so hot it had to be hand carried in a lead lined container to the testing lab./smile
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Expert Grenade. What, did he manage to make it over the 4 ft wall?
R. Schweigert:
It has been a LONG time since I went thru Basic Training, but I do remember having to throw 2 LIVE Hand Grenades to qualify for the Grenade Badge.
Did not receive “Expert”…trying to remember if it was based on the distance/yards a Trainee threw a Grenade.
In 2018, the US Army eliminated the Hand Grenade Qualification Course in Basic Training.
So, yes, Herbert Roland Severson, Jr. did earn an Expert Grenade Badge (annotated on his records).
Article about the US Army eliminating Hand Grenade Course in Basic Training:
https://www.military.com/daily-news/2018/02/09/low-discipline-new-soldiers-prompts-army-redesign-basic-training.html
In basic in 91 you had 10 station to go /no go if go on all 10 and threw the two live then you would get expert.
The only thing correct about the BDU shirt is no rank on the collar.
But for ripping off a VSO canteen, the Whiz Wheel™® says:
Herbert Roland Severson Jr. – deserves a MMWAR* – 45 x 10 = 450
* Mildew Mates With A Rutabaga (H/T to 25X)
Double that, Claw. This guy is well below dirtball level, right down to below garden slug level. In fact, I think slugs would reject him, too.
This guy is well below the trout sniffer level, right down to slumguzzling slagdweller. His turbulent turdosity is enough to stop a street sewer line.
He can quit pretending any time now.
I was able to look at his Book of the Face last night before it went “POOF” and in one of the pictures it showed a young Army Buck Sergeant with a CAB and Aviation Badge with the same surname.
His son? If so, Poppa Shit-Stain, Oops, Severson here must be trying to live vicariously through his son’s accomplishments.
How friggin low is that?
Sean is still in, did tours over in the sandbox, and retrained from tanker.
He earned everything that goes on his uniform.
Imagine how wonderful finding this out on the internet has been for him.
Grrrrr!!!!
Lower than low. Lower than the lowest level of low. SO low that, in fact, he should be at or near the bottom of an oubliette. If he isn’t, give him a nudge in the right direction.
How about lower than Whale shit. No Seals to start off the week with??
Oh, have patience. I’m sure there is an elephant seal somewhere out there waiting for us!
So what we are saying is Herbert R. Severson was probably thrown out of the US Army for possibly nefarious activities, whatever honorable service he made have had negated by doing stupid stuff. Has been, and still is lying his ass off about being a Warrior, when in fact, would be rejected by the lowest slugs AND is impeding honorable turds who are just trying to make it to the sewage treatment plant. He has also lied to and stolen from the American Legion Post monies that would have been used to help true Veterans. Shouldn’t these activities call for a volley fire from the Continent of Insults? Cocksucker!
Yes, if he’s sponging off his offspring’s career and a thief to boot, his codpiece sniffing days need to be addressed.
Maybe the more abbreviated, but still effective, Mountain of Insults?
But, But, he is a Life Member of the VFW via eligibility of two tours to Germany in the mid-eighties, so he does have that going for him./s
Actually, Claw, there is a way that a tour in Germany in the 1980s would make someone legitimately eligible for life membership in the VFW: an assignment including duty in Berlin for 30+ days consecutive/60+ days nonconsecutive.
http://www.vfwpost3830.com/images/eligibility.pdf
There are newer documents than the one I linked, but they say much the same. Much like the KDSM, qualify for the AOM and you’re eligible to join – regardless of when you qualified or the circumstances.
I’d have to see documentary proof before I’d believe it in this guy’s case, though.
Yes Sir, you’re correct. But I’m thinking that neither B Co, 23rd Engineers (3d AD) from Hanau or D Co, 1st Engineers (1st ID F) from Neu Ulm ever spent 30/60 days posted to Berlin./smile
I’m thinking you’re correct about those units and Berlin duty.
Yes, I saw the /s but will ask anyway. Are you seeing something about his actually being a VFW Life Member, Claw?
Yes, Sir. In the Book of the Face shot up top titled “Severson Facebook Discussion Thread”, in the lower right corner there is a picture of his VFW Life Member Card #9558570, dated 2/14/2011, for Post #296 of Winstead, CT.
Yep…this is one of the comments on VFW Post 296 Book of the Face page:
“Herb Severson Be seeing you on the 25th when I set up the dinner meeting for the American Legion meeting my brother …”
😉
Hmmmm…doesn’t the AL require an Honorable discharge?
Why yes, I believe they do!
Amd ETSing from Fort Dix as an E1 says Big Chicken Dinner at best!
Oh yea. You don’t chop off 3 ranks with NJP (guess it could be multi NJP’s, I suppose, but I’m guessing something a bit heavier given his penchant for ripping of his fellow veterans).
So does the VFW.
VFW Post 296 Facebook:

“Surprise, Surprise, SGT Carter!” We have a POSer in the wire. Who’d a thunk it. A total faker as a lifetime member of the VFW who never served a day in any war or combat zone. Way to go Herbert R Severson, you dickstepped your way to a premature discharge after achieving a bust back to E-1 and then became an embezzler of American Legion funds. No wonder you used your fakery to join the VFW.
Thx. I missed seeing that.
I see a big a$$ wild turkey in that one photo — along with a liquor logo.
I would personally like to see his workbench and evaluate his bench grinder before I form any judgments.
Nah, Herb Severson is a low-life fake and the lowest of the low to steal from his veteran brothers.
If you look at the embezzlement article, it says that the man lived on Candy Cane Lane.
That should tell you all you need to know about him.
I bet that candy cane had all the stripes sucked off it.
I’m sure phony Ranger Herb Severson can blame his transgressions leading up to his being kicked out of the Army as a Private E1 with 6 years service and stealing $6,000 from the American Legion on repeated Traumatic Brain Injuries from all those belt buckles repeatedly slamming into his forehead at truck stops, bus station bathrooms and highway rest areas.
He undoubtedly has a collection of soiled Depend undergarments pilfered from retirement homes for his olfactory pleasure.
Herb Severson is a Cum Sucking Road Whore…that is all.
And the guy that is frequently seen hanging out around the men’s room at All-points logistics.
Herb Severson was fired for inferior performance as a Towel Boy at Brucie’s Bath House (Entrance in Rear).
So Private Parts did not make a combat jump during Operation Urgent Fury? Maybe he does combat jumps during his tabletop role playing games. A thief, a liar, and a shitbag all rolled into one lumpy package of dishonor.
Well, this is interesting.
According to Manta site posted below, Herbert Roland Severson, Jr. is or was the Principal Business Owner? of American Legion Post 43 in his hometown of Winsted, CT (or Winchester, CT?)
American Legion Post 43 was established in 2010. The address of Post 43 matches voting records for a Herbert Roland Severson, Jr.:
https://www.manta.com/c/mr4p836/american-legion-post-43
https://voterrecords.com/street/chestnut+st-winchester-ct/
Don’t know how old the Manta information is or if American Legion Post 43 actually exists.
🤔
Yeah, that post exists per the CT AL’s web site. And if I’m reading it correctly, that post supposedly meets in the Winsted, CT, Elk’s Lodge:
http://www.ctlegion.org/post-locator.html
Methinks there’s a good chance that dirtbaggery is being contemplated (or already going on).
Considering he embezzled from an AL post, I wonder how the state and National orgs would look upon his current association with the Legion?
I just love that “triple canopy” (Abn/Rgr/SF tabs) above the 1st Inf Division shoulder patch on his left shoulder in this photo over at Military Phony.
For the benefit of those who aren’t/weren’t Army, the Airborne tab is part of the shoulder patch for selected US Army units. Unlike the Ranger and SF tabs, it’s not worn to show personal qualification. Jump wings are worn to show that.
It’s not part of the 1st ID’s shoulder patch. (smile)
What a disgrace to the Big Red One!
not that he was ever in the big, red, one…LOL
I’m sure he has sat on many a big red one but he was NEVER part of The Big Red One!
Aw man you just can’t make this shit up. Not to mention during the timeframe he was active duty (before undoubtedly melting a urinalysis cup) 670-1 did not allow wearing the Triple Tower of Power. But seeing as how old Herby Luv Bug here just took a trip to Ranger Joes for an assortment of toy badges I guess it’s ok to dress up while playing tour of booty.
Another proud holder of the coveted Army Service Ribbon and National Defense Service Medal.
You’d think they handed those out to the point where dickweeds like me refer to them as the Fire Watch and Expert Floor Buffer Operator Ribbons!
Nope…he doesn’t even rate a NDSM, the poor bastard.
Was just going to point that out. Bless his heart.
A fellow Nutmegger! Ain’t that something… I promise you, Herbert Roland Severson Jr, if I EVER catch you in your ‘finery’, I will make sure everyone around knows that you are in fact a lying felon who doesn’t rate a CIB, Airborne, Air Assault, Long Tab, Ranger.
IMHO, I’d yank your right to ‘Veteran’ because of the disgrace you’ve inflicted upon yourself.
That BDU is so jacked up I don’t where to start.
Well, he does say that he works as a chef and is also a freelance writer, so his attention to detail in such things could be questionable.
Maybe he needed that $6k he stole for his job as a “chef”.
one thing is for sure…he knows how to dork his own squeakhole…..
It is sad to see a genuine idiot think he might be smart…..
He is technically correct that he supports the AL; by paying restitution. LOL
Herbert Roland Severson Jr = Stolen Valor Assclown.
Deal with the “fame”, cocksucker…
Six-year E-1 = Felonious Shitbag.
Just another tool that is into dragons and shit.
Nice mustache.
Busted down to E-1 and then discharged, Green Thumb. Must have done something sleazy.
He does have a GCM, which means he must have been promoted at some point, but stomped on his own record.
Dragged down the ramp of a C-141 at Mcguire, ten minute ride shackled to a cattle car then kicked to the curb at Ft. Dix.
Dix used to have a brutal stockade.
“Dragged down the ramp of a C-141 at Mcguire, ten minute ride shackled to a cattle car then kicked to the curb at Ft. Dix.”
Hopefully with a few “accidental trips and falls” along the way!
“Dix used to have a brutal stockade.” – Hopefully as brutal or as the lockup in Mannheim where we sent one of our dirtbags from A-stan after a Court Martial along with a Big Chicken Dinner.
I remember seeing some kind of prison somewhere in the back forty 35 years ago – of course a lot of the old post IS a prison now – they should send him back to reminisce a bit…
26L, I went to basic at Ft. Dix, what a shithole it was in 69! I think I still have sand in my crack from that place!
I see that he moved from one place to the other first in 1996 then to another place in 1997.

I hear you, API, but isn’t “Herb Severson also looks like a reject Used Car Salesman from some run down lot on Victory Drive or South Lumpkin in Columbus Georgia!” a little low?
Funny aside, my then friend, turned ex-wife stayed at a motel on VD. Watched a drug deal in the parking lot after getting propositioned by a 80 lbs prostitute that looked old enough to be my mother.
Carpet bombing is too good for that dump.
:I hear you, API, but isn’t “Herb Severson also looks like a reject Used Car Salesman from some run down lot on Victory Drive or South Lumpkin in Columbus Georgia!” a little low?”
NOT TO ME, I’ve paid my dues in the Middle East, I’ve lost Buddies and Subordinates over there and JUST his fake claims of being a PH Recipient ALONE place him in that category IMHO.

How the fuck do you get busted down 4 ranks and get an honorable discharge?
GTFO Big Army!
FatCircles0311:
Am confused. Where do you see on his records that he received an Honorable Discharge?
Not seeing it either.
In 2004 in Okinawa at a ceremony a huge fattened retired USMC in his piss cutter/red jacket tried to get up out of a chair and his crumbled hips, balance and girth took it’s toll. I was 52 and benching heavy in the Camp Kinser gym. God, that fellow was heavy. Got him up and in 20 minutes he had me a Life Member in VFW, AND $250 lighter in my wallet. Never have gone, but still have the card. If they are anything like the American Legion..the scrutiny of prior service and ability to discern bogus DD-214 embellishments is almost nil. Can see why this guy is likely quite a character. VFW afraid to look at his story. Go to the Legion, VFW,etc flat bed truck on any 4th July parade and you’ll see a few obvious phonies hiding behind with the real deal brethren.
BTW, crap weasel’s “Old Gamers” T shirt..what is the significance of the five platonic solids pasted across it ? secret society ? Goes back to B.C era
Can report that my VFW Post does indeed verify qualifications to belong. It is required that all officers of every post have proof of eligibility on file. Still, we make sure that every member really is qualified before accepting an application.
We even offer to file record requests for the applicant, with a signed SF-180. Easy, peasy. No sweat.
We are not the only post in the US that sees how much damage allowing posers in our ranks can do to our credibility. The ultimate result will be that the organization itself will cease to exist if we don’t cut out the cancer of the liars now.
What? No Sapper tab? He claims Combat Engineer, where’s the tab? I know, I know, the Sapper tab wasn’t introduced until later, but he’s a phony so why not? It’s like he’s not even trying. Also, no Harley, no do-rag, no shades, no dog. Weak!
For anyone who may be interested, old Herbie here must think the heat is off, as he has brought his Book of the Face back on-line with all the same old Bullshit that was there before it went “POOF” in the night.
