Blast From The Past – Shane Kunzeman; phony Army Ranger

This week’s Blast From the Past “winner” is Shane Kunzeman, phony Army Ranger.

Shane paraded himself as an Army Ranger, Special Operations, PSYOP, etc. In some of his correspondences, he insisted on the reader’s calling him so that “he can go into more detail”. Why not simply go into more detail in the correspondence?

Well, as you can see below, things can get screen captured.

Turned out that he was regular supply, and that he simply did not exercise good judgment. He did what he wanted to do, at the expense of what he was supposed to do, and lied about things to prop himself up for his own benefit.

Well, after his lies were exposed, he jumped in and played the martyr:

Hello everyone, I figure after the seven death threats that I’ve gotten this morning, and the man who called from an unknown number saying he’ll be at my office doorstep today and I’m sure a lot of you guys out there are extremely happy about that maybe another veteran will get killed who is a father and a husband and you can say that guy got what he deserved and since you guys decided to threatened my wife and kids and the attacks on my friends and clients maybe you all should know a few things.

Naturally, when the exposed phony/embellisher jumps onto a thread like this, you guys can predict what would happen.

During the exchange, he tried to BS the site into taking down the post on him. Continuing to play the martyr, he tried to make it sound like we were being cruel to the veterans that he was trying to help. He also attempted to paint a picture of us putting his family through an experience they didn’t need to go through.

His commentary and action on the other thread about him, as well as his actions in the organizations he was at, have one common denominator. He refused to accept responsibility for his own action. He also refused to view himself in an image other than how he actually viewed himself.

Eventually, he gave up trying to get the post on him taken down. He disappeared for a few months until he showed up again. On May 25, 2018, he wrote:

I have discontinued the company. My deepenst apology.I wanted nothing more than to help veterans. And I want my family and and others to be safe. This has obviously changed my life for the worst. I honestly worked hard for the vets and I did my very best. We were just not able to continue due to many reasons. Please accept this apology. Hopefully I can get things back on track for my family and future. As honestly all I want to do is help people from the bottom of my heart. I have learned many lessons in this company and with veterans. I can assure you that I am deeply sorry. God bless.
Shane

Once again, he attempted to play the martyr. He attempted to BS us into thinking that our actions, and the site’s keeping the post on him up, contributed to his life changing for the worse. He appears to still want the post about him to be taken down.

The passage of time did not stop him from accepting responsibility for his own actions and moving on from there.

Just thought a note of ” shame on you” also needed to be called on you as well!”
Thank you!

This appears to be a sock puppet username, as it is very personal on behalf of Shane Kunzeman. It’s very defensive, especially with the “I have the commendations” remark. Once again, this individual shows that Shane Kunzeman refuses to take ownership of his actions.

If this is Shane Kunzeman himself, then he truly is not apologetic.

According to someone that served with him, Shane Kunzeman spent most of his time in the front leading rest position. For the non-Army types, this is the position that someone takes for doing push-ups. Also, they determined that the quality of his service didn’t warrant his receiving an ETS award.

What’s even funnier is how he made a point with Shane, with regards to the actual parting gift that he received.

I did give him a parting gift for his service to our country. I let him keep his canteen cup from CIF. I told him he may need it when he’s in the “soup line”. No, shit, I gave him a canteen cup. As I expected, he may use it.

Carlos pointed out, as we have noted in the post about him, that Shane brought all this upon himself.

Here’s what Jonn said in his original article:

Our partners at Military Phonies send us their work on this fellow, Shane Kunzeman, who operates a resume writing business called Your New Life. For some reason, he thought it would be a good idea that he should become an Army Ranger, but he came to that conclusion after he left the Army, you know, when it was too late for him to attend training or to be assigned to a Ranger unit;

He did spend less than three and a half years on active duty as a 92A automated logistical specialist in an aviation unit in Germany. The he spent about a year and a half in the Army Reserves and he worked at the Asymmetric Warfare Group (AWP) as a logistics contractor;

No training or assignments that would make him a Ranger, not even parachutist qualified.
