‘Alaska Bob’ Glaves – Preview of Coming Attractions

A lot of people have been asking behind the scenes what is happening with the ‘Alaska Bob’ Glaves’ case – adding that all they hear is crickets, including around the town of Port Angeles, WA.  This is the community where a lot of people participated in the ride supporting Bob and donated to the charity to help him get to the Vietnam War Memorial to see the names of his war buddies one last time before he dies.

Here is what we know:

Military Records – Several organizations are conducting their own investigation and trying to get Bob’s military records on their own.  We are confident the records they get will be similiar if not exactly the same as what we’ve already posted.  We have encouraged this so people can see for themselves directly from the National Archives.

These organizations include one charity and the local newspaper.  It sounds as if there is a forthcoming article and if published, we will provide the link here.

Bob’s “Response” – We also have gotten word that Bob is preparing a response complete with a DD-214 that will supposedly exhonorate him and prove he was in Vietnam.  Well, we’re waiting.  What’s taking so long?  It shouldn’t be that hard.

In the meantime, we ask Bob to respond to these SIMPLE questions:

• What are the names of the war buddies KIA on the Vietnam Wall that you went to visit?  They say that people truly only die when you stop uttering their name.  You would honor them by telling us their names.
• What unit did you serve in while in Vietnam?  As above, this shouldn’t take any research at all.  You should know this and let it roll off the tip of your tongue.
• Why does your photo show up in the 1975 Rogue River Oregon Yearbook in the Junior section (page 49) when you were supposedly in Vietnam that year?
  

• Why can’t you provide your Alaska driver’s license?  You can put tape over the Month and Day of birth.  We only want to see the birth year which should be 1958.
• Why can’t you provide your DD-214?  What’s taking so long?  Most all veterans have their DD-214 readily available. I just can’t understand what is taking so long.  If it is going to take a long time, the least you can do is say why.
• Why can’t you make a statement about all of this?  Just simply say you dispute the findings and you were in fact, in Vietnam.  Or better yet, come clean and say you weren’t.

Bob, the wisest course of action for you to take at this point is to come clean with your immediate family first.  If you’ve been telling them the Vietnam story for years, it is time to come clean and be honest with them.

Then, after your immediate family, you owe it to the good people that supported you, went on the ride with you, and donated to your “cause.”  Wouldn’t you agree that they deserve to hear the truth?

What is taking so long, Bob?  Are you really hoping for some kind of a miracle at this point?  People are taking all the right steps to acquire all the proper documentation but you may be forgetting something – we’ve already seen it.

We’ve already seen your bankruptcy which links you to a certain past address.

We’ve already seen your felony conviction for tampering with evidence that has your date of birth on it.  [Spring of 1958]

We’ve already seen the dozens of criminal charges that you have with your correct date of birth on each one of them.

We can easily contact one of your four siblings or high school classmates and ask them to confirm/deny your “military service in Vietnam” but we don’t like to involve family.  However, if you continue the ruse and people need to see witness statements, we may feel like you’ve forced our hand.

What is taking so long, Bob?

Come clean, Bob.  You are dragging people down with you.  The gig is up, Bob.  Apologize and let everyone begin the process of cleaning up the mess.  I feel you will experience a sense of relief that you don’t have to lie anymore.  It is much easier to tell the truth.

EXTRAS

Someone sent this link to a radio show where Bob says he was in Vietnam and Cambodia.

A note from the investigator that has worked the Robert Glaves case.

It is my understanding that Mr. Glaves has not come clean about him never being in Vietnam during the war.

That door is only going to be open so long.  I will then begin the process of getting sworn witness statements from Glaves’s high school classmates, at least those willing to do so.  They don’t have to comment on Vietnam, only that they saw him in 1974 – 1975 in high school.  Same for family members.

You can promise Mr. Glaves the following – if I have to put the time into this, time that I feel is unnecessary due to evidence already presented, I’m not to be confused with a “Que será, será” man.

This means that once these statements, background report and all other pertinent documents are acquired and Bob comes out crying and laughing and saying it was all a big joke that got out of hand… I can GUARANTEE you that I’m not going to just shrug my shoulders and say “Oh well, que será, será” and toss all my work into the trash.

No, it is being compiled into a comprehensive package and being shipped out to the FBI, veteran’s groups, local law enforcement, the state and local district attorney and anything or anybody else I can think of.

The work will have been done and I’m not simply giong to discard it- Glaves had his chance and squandered it.

Tell Bob that if this was poker, we already know what’s in his hand so the bluff doesn’t work anymore.  He needs to “play out a bad hand” as they say.
