Our friend Paul C from Independently Correct<\/a> had an exchange with our old buddy Adam Kokesh while they were on YouTube at Michelle Malkin’s famous Jason Mattera video <\/a>of members of IVAW admitting that they wouldn’t testify under oath. In the exchange, Paul mentioned Jesse Macbeth, the original phony soldier. In his usual paranoid way, Kokesh claims that MacBeth was a government plant.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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

Funny how MacBeth ended up in jail <\/a>for all of his phony soldier undercover stuff. That’s some deep cover, boy.<\/p>\n

But Kokesh says he’s in IVAW to make sure there are “no fakers”? Well, lets look at Kokesh’s profile at IVAW shall we?<\/p>\n

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

Kokesh wasn’t a sergeant when he was discharged – he was busted for smuggling an Iraqi pistol back to the States. There’s no mention of that in his profile either – just that he had volunteered to go back to Iraq but ended up in a training center. No mention that his request to return was denied because he was untrustworthy. In fact, Kokesh and I went through all of this once before in June<\/a>. And he’s still clinging to his phony title.<\/p>\n

How about our old buddy Jon deWald – let’s look at his profile at IVAW;<\/p>\n

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

de Wald was a Sergeant when he was discharged, not a staff sergeant. He was promotable but he wasn’t promoted. He claims the Army put Sergeant on his discharge but that they pay him retired pay as a staff sergeant. Well, folks who don’t understand the military pay system might believe that, but I know that your retirement pay is based on the amount you earned the last three months you served on active duty, not on your pay rate at the time you retired. de Wald was medically retired as a sergeant, not a staff sergeant.<\/p>\n

I guess “no fakers” means different things to different people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
