What is right with this picture?
The good folks at POW Net and 1stCAVRVN11B forwarded this picture and they’re wondering if anyone knows this clown. I’m not even going to try to identify that shit – he’s just a fake, that’s all we need to know;
Look at this goofy shit – his highest award is a Good Conduct Medal with a star device, Bwa-ah-ah-ah. The Purple Heart and Silver Star make him a candidate for jail, though.
Yeah, if you see this guy, conk him in the head and call the cops.

I especially like the SF tab over the airborne wings. Nice touch.
I can confirm that from 1985-1988, JFKSWC issued those exact type of wings…
…to lying sacks of shit.
Wow, he is done up.
For those playing at home, here are the medals he is wearing.
PH
DSC
Silver Star
Bronze Star
Army Dist. Serv. Medal
Special Ops Commemorative Medal
Looks like his medals were all awarded to him by General E-bay!
Why exactly does he have the same ribbon on twice (on atleast 2 occasions)?
Jonn wrote: Not to mention his brass canted in the wrong direction, the Army Service Ribbon isn’t higher that the NCO Development Ribbon which isn’t higher than the Army Achievement Medal which isn’t the lowest award out of all of them. I think he ordered them to coordinate the colors.
The CAB, CMB and CIB on the same guy (wearing 18 series brass). Like B5 said those jump wings were NEVER authorized, and you certainly don’t wear the shit on the right side when you run out of room on the left side. You don’t wear medals while you’re wearing ribbons.
I wonder if he was wearing bloused Air Jordans, too.
Where & when was this picture taken? What store in what city & state? That may help a lot.
If it wasn’t so early in the year, I’d say he was all dressed up (inappropriatly) for Halloween.
The part that gets my goat is how these scum buckets get all of these ribbons and medals to play phony warrior with.
Oh yeah and it was tricky finding that one little thing that was out of place but I think I spotted it. It’s the mustache not being within regs isn’t it?
What this blog needs is a sponsor for its semi-regular “Two Minutes Hate” pieces.
You know, like, “This phony soldier outing and subsequent airing of our own insecurities is brought to you by [insert another product designed to appeal to insecurities, like Cialis or something]”
I really think you’ve found a niche market here, Jonn. You could start by marketing Frankly Opinionated’s artwork, I don’t know. I promise to not sue for royalties when this idea takes off.

Who is this “Eddie gee-Willers”? And what’s his major malfunction?
Obviously he has never worked hard to achieve anything in his life. If he had, he would realize what the true problem here is.
What he doesn’t realize (and maybe never will), is that I, and many other military veterns, worked hard to recieve what we got. Some worked harder, some worked less. But whatever the effort, we EARNED what we received. And to see some overdressed CLOWN parading in awards and medals that obviously he did not earn, cheapens EVERYBODY’s hard efforts.

Personally, I find it somewhat amusing that someone would want to imitate my service. I gave all my old uniforms to the Salvation Army so who knows where they might have ended up. If someone wants to wear them and play make pretend then so be it. I’m not losing sleep over it.
Geeze, Frankly I wouldn’t even know where to start. My eyes glaze over at the mass of violations and just plain fakery.

OK – Admit it – you staged this one just to give us all a knee slapping, belly-busting fit of uncontrollable, hysterical laughter right? Right?
If NOT, then I think we should all be ashamed for laughing; if it is not a setup, then this is obviously a poor, brain damaged, terribly delusional old guy who was applying to be a door-greeter at the local Office Max store on his free weekends from the Home.
PS – the photo is cropped, or you would ahve seen that he wears no trousers, only a Magic Marker decorated adult diaper.
The original challenge by TSO was to ID what is correct about this picture.
He is not wearing his rank on the flash of his beret.
His MSG stripes appear to be in the correct place.
He is not wearing his Special Forces Tab on his combat shoulder.
Other than that, soup sanmich.
why are medals like these that are still in use even sold? they shouldn’t be. this is just wrong.
I was not in the Army, but I wasn’t aware that they used Times New Roman font for name tags. Seems a little off to me.
Kate,
Unfortunately if you have the money you can buy the medals and ribbons from many stores and on line.
Sadly slime balls like this and way too many others who haven’t EARNED the medals and ribbons find it necessary to pull this kind of sh*t.
Dumb question for us stupid Marine types.
I always wonder what is the deal with the rope on the left shoulder? I know what the right is for but what is the deal for the left side?
Wow!! Now that is some serious faking…
I ain’t got alot, but I got I earned.
The guy should be ashamed, especially in thinking he could actually get away with it.

Eddie, there’s a massive difference in pecking out disdainful or mocking words about someone who faked earning awards that folks have suffered to earn and say, finding this guy & administrating a traumatic head amputation to him.
Many of these frauds have faked VA claims. This has bumped true veterans out of getting health care they earned from disabilities resulting from service. I assume you pay taxes, doesn’t it chap your hide to know an undeserving faker stole your tax money and got free health care?
OMFG. This is a joke or a Halloween costume, right?
Eddie Willers is a pissant. I know a dozen like him, lower than sheeple, they hide in dark places, (like Mommys closet, or basement, or under her bed), and don’t do a damned thing to contribute to the better good. They advocate for cowardice, and appeasement, and attempt to stick up for “the little guy”, when in fact, if in this sticking up for something they were confronted- they’d run like the sissies that they are.
And, “Eddie Willing”; Jonn already does market “Frankly Opinionated”‘s artwork, but not in any sense you would understand or appreciate. He, like me, realizes that I do this as a service to anyone who would choose to have some of it. My compensation is nothing that will retire me, but it does allow me to buy aerosol cans of Bullshit Repellant by the case. It ain’t about the money. It is all about personal expression of ones feelings, even though it usually pisses off the Politically Correct types. Just in case you may be interested, click on and browse, you may find something on Berkeley that suits you.

The green and red rope he has on is the French Fourragere, awarded to the 82nd Airborne Division in WW2. It is more red than green. A different fourragere, the Belgian Fourragere, is more green than red. If you are an individual serving in the same unit today that earned it in WW2, you may wear it as long as you are assigned to the unit. Once you leave the unit, you must remove it from your uniform. Example: I served in the 82nd twice, 1979-80, and 1991-92. I wore the French one. At no other time in my service did I wear it.
Jonn wrote: Thanks, Joe. The 3rd ID was also awarded the French Fourragere. I don’t recognize the red rope he’s wearing on the right shoulder, though. The infantry wears a blue one on the right shoulder while they’re assigned to an infantry unit, Grover.
Grover, the 3rd ID also wears one. A while back there was a pic of some of the IVAW morons in Denver at the DNC, and besides the lame USMC female captain, who looked like she’d dressed in the dark after a bad night with the boys, the guy in front of her was wearing the 3rd ID patch, with the Fourragere on the wrong shoulder. Typical of these folks.
Medals awarded for valor,aisle 5….
My wife says the Red Tag Sale sign over his right shoulderis a JC Penny tag. He probably is the Assistant shoe salesman.
With all of those ribbions, I cannot find one that says where he was supposed to have served to earn them.. I guess they have yet to come up with a ribbon for E-Bay…
tankerbabe thanks for the info. i had no idea. bah!
Actually, it’s an Office Depot and there aren’t as many of them these days as there used to be.

Thanks JoeH52, and UpNorth. I don’t ever remember seeing them in my time, but that was several bottles of rum ago.
I just remember seeing them on Army guys but then again Army uniforms got so much razzel dazzel they tend to stick out.
Wow, I wonder if he ways even trying or just that dumb and stupid?
Hey Eddie Willers,
2 minutes of hate? try visiting your douchenozzle soulmates at DailyKos and HuffPo. You’d have a whole fucking category to yourself.
He looks like he’s ready to star in the next Rambo film. “It wasn’t my war. You asked me, I didn’t ask you….”
Still looking for an answer to my original question . . .
Where was this pic taken? If it’s anywhere within the confines of the Fairly Good state of Utah, please let me know.

B Woodman I can cover eastern North Carolina….and Eddie Willers,don,t fuck with Frankly Opinionated,that old man can hand you your ass before you realize your heads not out of it!!! And as for a sponsor for our two minutes of hate, hows about Lake City Arsenal (for some primo match grade shit)and Colt? Now that should stimulate the economy…
Frankly Opinionated-
Not sure if you knew, but one of the shirts says “Another Veteran Against Bush’s War”. Just a heads up…
FOXNews Zombie:
Don’t know what the reference is, but if you’ll post a link, I will take a look. Not in my shop. Cafepress has a ton of Bushaters doing shirts. Frankly Opinionated don’t and won’t have that crap.

Airborne Injun:
A’wwww ya tipped him off. I was gonna pick him off from about 600 yds, wingin’ him in the knee, and then just finish it up right with a slow workin’ gut shot. Actually, the stopper to the knee would probably cause him to piss himself, dehydrating him so severly that he’d just dry up and blow away.

how can he have earned a purple heart, silver star, bronze star and I don’t recognize any combat campaign ribbon?? He should be arrested
Wow! Stolen Valor and Prison Bound! Time to call the FBI.
Thank you for the post. I don’t know if you get any credit for being a great writer, You sure know hoe to write good articles… Thank You
