Rudy Schwartz-Mejia claims to have been a Mogadishu Ranger, says he jumped into Panama with them, too. He claims that he was a POW somewhere in there, too. The American Legion Magazine featured him in their July, 2002 issue with this;<\/p>\n

Soon after that he was booted from the American Legion because of an unwarranted outburst that frightened other members of his post. It was about that time that someone got his records;<\/p>\n

\"Rudy<\/a> <\/center><\/p>\n

During Panama, he was in the National Guard and it was three years before he went to jump school. There’s no mention of the Purple Heart that you see on his jacket lapel in the picture above, or any mention of his being a POW like the American Legion article mentions. And I guess if you round his three years of service way up, well, that’s almost ten years right?<\/p>\n

I see he has an arrest record for vandalism in 1987, and a weapons charge in the mid-nineties while he was trying to sell a tear gas canister in LA. In 2004 he was arrested for prostitution when he exposed himself to undercover agents, and there are two battery arrests in 2005 and when he was answering those charges, he told the judge that he had a Purple Heart according to a lawyer who was in the room. <\/p>\n

Mary tells us that he busted more than a decade for his fake Ranger stories, but he continues to pop up on her screen. So let’s make him famous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
