The folks at fake Warriors send us the background they did on one Steven Lawrence Dan of Monroe, Ohio. Apparently, he got into a skirmish of sorts with a fellow employee and had to write a letter of apology to his boss and a couple of other people. I wouldn’t even stick my nose in except he hit a couple of my hot button issues in his apology. In explaining away his apparently violent behavior, he wrote;<\/p>\n

…, if I may I would like to let you know a little about my past. I know you know some but here are the highlights so to speak. Before I started in the HVAC trade I was a soldier in the United States Army. More specifically I was an Army Ranger stationed at Ft. Benning in Georgia. I served just over 10 years on active duty with 5 combat tours between Afghanistan and Iraq, plus other deployments before the tragedy of 9\/11. I have been awarded two Silver Stars, two Bronze Stars and three Purple Hearts. Just before 9\/11, I tried out for and made it into the Ranger Reconnaissance Detachment. We performed all of the long range reconnaissance for Special Forces teams and spearheaded assault missions, including the invasion of both Afghanistan and Iraq. I am not telling you about my past to sway your opinion of me one way or the other. I am trying to convey a reason as to why I reacted the way that I did. With a background like mine I think you can understand that violence and anger is second nature to me. I am not the kind of person to run away from gunfire. I run towards it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, if by Ranger, he means a cannoncocker and if by Fort Benning, he means Fort Sill, and if by “spearheaded assault missions in Afghanistan and Iraq after 9-11”, he means assault missions from Fort Living Room to Fort Refrigerator, then he’s absolutely correct.<\/p>\n

I guess the two Silver Stars, two Bronze Stars and three Purple Hearts were all consolidated into an Army Commendation Medal to save on paperwork.<\/p>\n

Someone wrote to tell us that he’s about to compound his asshattery;<\/p>\n

He uses this “elite status” to attain financial gain as well as fool friends, family, law enforcement, and the courts. He is in the process of covering his body with military insignia, in particular tattoos boasting of his Ranger prowess. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, well, maybe a blog post of his records on the search engines will stop that from happening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
