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

Our partners at Guardians of the Green Beret <\/a>share their work on this fellow, Jose Igor Alvarez aka Igor Gretaldezky<\/a>. He claims to be a special forces warrior, but his uniform says differently;<\/p>\n

When the GB who sent him to us did a short recon on his FB profile, he saw a picture of him with a Combat Infantry Badge with a star, an Ranger and SF tab, Purple Heart and some comical SF crest on his black beret.<\/p>\n

Wrong unit insig on shoulders, MP brass with Infantry blue disks, No Airborne Tab with SF unit patch (That\u2019s part of the patch).<\/p>\n

We reached out to ask him to remove his bogus pictures and were immediately blocked from further contact. The pictures remained. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
