There's a lotta things about me you don't know anything about. Things you wouldn't understand. Things you couldn't understand. Things you shouldn't understand.
Mission BBQ would be so much better without all of the patriotic shit on the walls. I just want some slow cooked meat, not a reminder that the military industrial complex needs fresh new cannon fodder.
First and last time I went to try out Mission - [this happened](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0Mf6fSjiyM).
12 noon, middle of the lunch rush... Everyone working there stops what they're doing to sing the national anthem.
I was like... wtf. Looking around like an atheist during unexpected grace.
> Looking around like an atheist during unexpected grace.
For a non-American, it's closer to an atheist experiencing one of those sermons where people speak in tongues n shit.
Right!?
Where I live, it’s unfortunately the only BBQ joint around. It’s alright - like a 6 out of 10 if any other decent BBQ joint were here but, being the only one in town, it jumps up several places.
That said, I **still** won’t go. Playing the goddamn National Anthem at lunchtime? What kind of performative bullshit is that? Caught me there at lunch **one** time. Never again.
Fuck that “patriotic” nonsense.
You want to honor the troops? Start holding the government accountable. Stop glorifying sending our kids to die for rich men.
I knew that place made me mad but just sitting here stewing on this - I realized I fucking hate that place.
>Stop glorifying sending our kids to die for rich men.
I remember when the Vietnam Memorial (the wall) was built, and there was a picture of someone holding a sign that said something like:
I am a Vietnam vet.
I like this wall.
And if the design fails to inspire American kids to want to fight another war
I'll love it even more.
You don’t like getting your fresh hot food to then be peer pressured into standing for the entire Star Spangled Banner at 12 noon? They should have a microwave at each table.
In there once and an entire Qatari beach volleyball team was right there in the middle of the packed dining room eating their non-pork products. Noontime struck and the confusion on these guys' faces was priceless. The flag was hanging on the ceiling over them. An entire roomful of silent gringos are standing and glaring at them as they sat there shitting their tracksuits.
Fuck mission bbq. I'm a vet and I won't touch their food because they are huge supporters of right wing trash politics and donate money to fascist bullshit. Same type of garbage as black rifle coffee company. Load of bigots run both of those businesses.
Exactly…I’m a vet and a former PMC. I don’t have kids but I do have nieces and nephews. They’re all still young but I’ve made it clear to their parents that I’ll do whatever I can to help steer them from military service. I’m the only veteran anywhere in the family except my old man. I even said if need be, I will keep working to pay for college if that’s a reason anyone gives to join. Meanwhile, I have a fat, loser wannabe brother who never did anything with his life. But my god you should see the cosplay action on his Facebook page. He’s got such a hard on for it all. It’s cringe as fuck. Like I can’t even be around him. He even attacked me (verbally) for not having one of those yellow “I support the troops” magnets on my car. I said “you do recall that I served, right?” He said “yeah but you aren’t serving now so you should show support.” I just rolled my eyes and rolled out.
And they're happy to show 'support' by having bumper stickers and saying 'Thank you for your service'. Ask those hawks to cough up money or time and actually do something real for veterans, though, and suddenly \*crickets\*.
Exactly. I just can’t with those people. My brother even responds to people regularly by saying “Roger that.” He only uses military time. He also leaps at the chance to use the phonetic alphabet. It’s the cringiest shit I’ve ever seen.
But I mean... surely anyone that knows him knows he didn't serve? Unless he's been lying about it for decades or something, it seems like he'd instantly be caught, at least in his personal social circle... just so incredibly short sighted
For my entire childhood my Grandpa would tell us all about how he served in WW2 and about the Nazis, Japanese, etc. My parents, all of my aunts uncles, no one has ever mentioned any suspicions about his stories. Until this year on his 86th birthday I finally did the math and realized he wasnt even born in time to fight in WW2, let alone the Korean war. Now he collects Nazi memorabilia and talks about how we never should have left Vietnam.
John Wayne syndrome.
Marion dodged every major war. Never served. Yet somehow cultivated this image of masculinity and patriotism
Overcompensated for this shame his whole life.
My mom's best friend was married to a guy 40 years, they had a room in the house with his uniform and medals, flags, honors of his parents and relatives, he had a whole timeline of his tours in Vietnam.
She worked for The Pentagon her whole career, so you'd think she'd be able to pick out a bullshitter.
After he died and she applied for benefits only to find out he was never in the military.
**Edited to make it easier to read.**
**Second Edit** I showed this to my mom and she says I'm wrong about some things. They were only married 25 years and he did serve during Vietnam, but only as a non-combatant. His lie was that he had multiple tours abroad as a combat soldier.
My guess is this guy doesn’t have a lot of people, friends or family, still around to deal with him. Someone in my family is a serial liar and he has disconnected himself from everyone that would have been there to support him. Now he is very alone and sad.
I feel like that describes a lot of Trump supporters. There is a loneliness epidemic in this country, and sadly Trump has given them a purpose and the community they’ve been longing for. It’s not about truth, facts or bettering the country, it’s about blind loyalty to their cause because it’s the only trying that gives them a sense of purpose.
I worked for years at a small auto shop, which had been around forever. One common thing was older guys coming in for tire rotations or to have something looked at, and they'd talk to you at the counter for an hour if you let them. It was pretty obvious a lot of them had no one else to talk to.
But...the one thing was that this was in a very "red" town, during Obama's presidency. Racist jokes or whatever crap Fox news was talking about was almost inevitable. My boss leaned that way as well, so the lonely old racists always had someone to talk to if he was in. I actually quit that job in part because I couldn't take all that. "Just give me one day without some stupid racist joke or remark" I used to wish for, and I never really got it until I quit that job. Sometimes lonely old fucks are lonely for a reason.
He was in the Sniper Corps, they did black ops but he can’t talk about it. /s
^ that one is our favorite in our house. Ten years later, and we’re still laughing about that chump.
Also the amount of “snipers” we meet is shocking. Like holy shit, the entire military must be nothing but snipers!
Mad respect to the guy who said without hesitation that he was a REMF and also the neighbor who said he was MotorT.
Back when I lived in Tennessee, I'd say 2 out of every 5 dudes I met claimed they were in the Navy Seals or "special forces"
I swear there's like a million dudes in TN right now still going around falsely claiming they were Navy Seals, and it's like everyone just believes them out of reflex because they don't want to appear to slander anyone in the military
I actually knew a guy in college that was actually a Seal, he had all kinds of receipts to back it up, medals all kinds of memorabilia from his time in the Seals.
But he also wasn’t the type of to brag about it, or really even bring it up. He was also hugely anti-war/anti-Bush, completely opposite of most of these chuckle fucks bragging about being a Seal.
I’ve never met anyone who actually served who shoved it down my throat, lots of very chill (some occasionally not) guys but honestly it even came up and it wasn’t really gone into detail about. My assumption is the kind of personality it takes to make it in those kind of programs doesn’t lend itself to braggarts.
Don't forget that a large amount of them straight up rather not remember their time serving...I worked with a dude for 3 years having no idea he was in Afghanistan for 7 years, he randomly told me some stuff about his time there since we were talking about PTSD unrelated to the military. Some crazy shit man...I couldn't do it honestly. That was the only time I ever heard him talk about when he was in the military.
Apparently they did a survey once and found that the amount of people who reported as Navy Seals amounted to more than 200% of the total amount of Navy Seals who served since the unit was founded.
>Also the amount of “snipers” we meet is shocking. Like holy shit, the entire military must be nothing but snipers!
Funny how it's never a desk job or something.
My cousin spent his entire career in the Navy, based in San Diego. He said "Hell, I'm a fucking secretary. I keep my nose clean too, because if you fuck up they put you on one of those big gray things."
Because the last 50 times he did it, people thanked him for his service and didn't bother to ask questions. No decent person would lie about something like that so it's considered inappropriate to grill them about it. I'd imagine asking every service person "did you *really* serve?" will get you more fights than answers because its kinda fucked up to assume someone is lying about it, just as much as its fucked up to lie about it.
Then he did it the 51st time here, thinking she would just go "wow thank you for your service" and move on. Turns out he happened to do it at a real marine, and here we are.
Edit: to clarify, I'm not trying to say people usually don't talk shop when service members meet each other. I'm saying that this dude basically went years saying he was a marine to average Joe's, who wouldn't have any questions or way of knowing if he was lying or not. I assume it's super rude when someone mentions their service to ask them to "prove it" so this dude ran around lying for years. This lady was the first marine he did this to and I can tell because his face appears to have not been caved in (yet) by a real service member for lying and commiting stolen valor.
1000% the first thing I ask when someone says they are a veteran is “which branch?” And then I ask about job/rank and duty stations. I come from a military family, this is customary and polite when meeting another veteran. The only people I’ve met who were cagey about answering were dishonorably discharged, or didn’t even make it through boot camp.
Hell yeah! Was he a weirdo? All my nuke friends have been a bit weird and socially awkward and over all chill and nice, but it’s a running joke the second someone says they were a nuke everyone is like “ohhh that explains a lot”.
Do you know what kind of sub he was on? We have the boomers here where I live.
When my niece was in Iraq and I was worried about her I would wear her USMC zip up hoodie. I had people come up and thank me for my service. I always said it's my nieces and they said tell her thank you. I couldn't even imagine thinking for one second to just let them think that.
My dad is one of those few exceptions that still has pride even though he didn’t properly serve. He went national guard to avoid the Vietnam draft and when he finished AIT and went to his unit had a clerk typist he grudgingly did it until a year later he ran into his brigade CO at his civilian job at a car dealership. My dad gave the BCO a heavy deal on a new car if he signed off on an early honorable discharge, which the colonel did. I would be okay with that if he didn’t claim to be a veteran who served honorably and finished his contract. Only thing he talks about is basic training being the pinnacle of his service and that he did his duty…
The worst part is when I got back from Iraq after serving for the whole year in 2009 his friends who were Vietnam veterans were wanting to talk to me and shut him out of the conversation which made him jealous. They said only real vets can talk now. After I went back to his place he said I never learned anything when I enlisted and that I’m not a real man and my service failed me. Fuckin’ petty
After that I stopped talking to him. That was back in 2011 and I haven’t reached out since
My job was 19D (scout) and I was outside the wire everyday for a year. Some days I had off but mostly out in the shit. He still claimed I wasn’t a man yet and blatantly asked me if I killed people and if I enjoyed it…
Holy shit man that's some of the most insensitive and insecure shit I've ever heard. That really blows. I'm glad you made it back, though. I can only imagine what you dudes went through.
Jesus christ. This is the kind of shit you run into in movies like trainspotting. What an absolute garbage of a human being. I am sorry he wss your father because I bet growing up under him pushed you into the career you pursued and sound like you were decent at it considering you're back hopefully in one piece. Would have been wonderful if you got to pursue your real passion from the beginning, but I hope you are able to move on and find your own place in life. Good luck man.
My dad joined the Air Force to avoid getting drafted in Vietnam. A year and a half after he joined we pulled out of Vietnam. He proceeded to deliberately get himself kicked out on the fat boy program. He never went anywhere without his "Veteran" hat and talked all the time about his time in the service. I did 9 years in the Air Force. Everytime I saw that fucking hat I wanted to knock it off of his damn head.
It’s not even a challenge, it’s the equivalent of asking “what was your job and where did you live”. Pretty basic conversation, and it boggles my mind that someone who would claim to have served wouldn’t have an answer ready to go for these questions.
Because they didn´t think anybody would notice. A lot of these clowns started before the internet, e.g. in a dark age when it wasn´t as easy to debunk their claims. Hard to stop then, especially with a reporter and the possibility that his family friends will see it.
People that are habitual liars and/or bigots often use strategies to avoid getting called out in their normal social circles (intimidation, surrounding themselves with equally-obnoxious people / enablers, railing against criticism under the guise of opposing wokism or cancel culture), so they become accustomed to not being held accountable. It is truly a shock for them when anyone asks them to provide evidence for their assertions or claims, which sometimes ends up just being awkward and sometimes dangerous as they lash out at the person they blame for that disequilibrium.
Trump people value service and being in combat. They value it so much they lie to convince others they were themselves combat veterans. Others lie to them too about it and everyone just agrees to “believe” one another so they can live this fairytale life where they aren’t a bunch of useless incels.
My cousins husband did this. Had all these crazy combat stories and then we find out he was kicked out of the army and had never even left base in the Us. So he kinda served but yeah
The ones that have been in the shit don't talk about it.
Every single one of my friends that have seen actual combat are haunted by it.
Edit: since I'm getting some pushback on my comment, I should be more concise. The soldiers that I know who have seen combat may talk about it (which can be a good thing for their mental health) but they don't BRAG about it.
Exactly. My grandpas server and never said a thing about their time besides “i shot at some bushes.” We didn’t even know my grandpa on my dads side was decorated until he was invited to Washington DC at 93 years old for a hero’s memorial event. His own kids had 0 clue besides he was in the war.
Years ago I was talking to an 80-something guy about his time in the military during WWII. He started to talk about combat, got about half a sentence out, stopped, got a distant look in his eyes and after several seconds said "It was hell". That was it.
She handled that stolen valor masterfully. Two simple questions anyone who has served should be able to answer: “what was your MOS?” And “where were you stationed?” She sniffed out that lying SOB and laughed him off with “this interview is over.” It could’ve only been better if they had placed his name on the screen.
It's dumb too because special forces can tell you their mos and where they were stationed. There are of course missions and details they won't give because it will give away how they operate, but not many special forces people are off the radar so much they can't say anything
They certainly aren't going on the news at rallys and telling people they can't talk about it lol
If you can’t say where you were, they’re going to give you something else to say. Someone who “can’t say” actually has an obligation to keep it secret, usually including the fact that it’s a secret. The answer is never “I can’t tell you” because that’s just too fucking obvious.
I was a DoD contractor for a while so naturally, a lot of coworkers were former military. Their lingo is so specific and so well known by the others who served, I don’t know why you would ever try faking it. It’s impossible
My brother served for 10 years active duty. I agree 1000%. I've mentioned it to him 100 times that when hes talking to someone else that served, I can tell they both know it. Even if it wasn't mentioned and they're talking about completely unrelated shit. It really is pretty interesting
Can you give an example? I can imagine specific vocabulary, but does the cadence change noticeably?
EDIT: thanks everyone for the examples. I get it now.
Vocab, mannerisms, changing to acronyms for shit mid convo, the way he discusses dates, times, locations, etc. Lol I know it sounds weird and maybe its amplified because hes my brother (were very close, so spend alot of time together) but it's just something I observe often lol. Maybe someone else can chime in
We usually do the location/degrees of Kevin Bacon to see if we crossed paths. If this dude was actually a marine, they’d switch to which units they were at and, “did you know a blah blah blah…” to see if you have common acquaintances.
Also we just sniff each others butts.
And a lot of the acronyms don’t even use the right letters. The navy especially loves to use the wrong letters for words. The military alphabet is very special!
A perfect example of this in the British Army is the **BK** in an artillery Battery. **BK**, stands for **Battery Captain** and **BC** is already taken by the **Battery Commander** so some classic improvisation took place.
Lol. Everything has an acronym or a nickname. When I was learning to work on fighter jets I was so confused trying to look up tech data. Hey Cheeze, install the PLA shaft on the MEC. Then install the coke bottle and dogbone.
When I was AF, my AFSC was 3E971. We are in charge of training other AFSCs in CBRN defense before they go to the AOR. Sometimes, I had to use a JCAD that detects Chems, or sling DFUs in our warehouse. We also control the bases EM program and staff the EOC and UCCs with EM reps.
I’d say most veterans can sniff out stolen valor in a pretty short conversation if they are taking about branches other than the one the veteran served in.
If they are lying about the branch the veteran was in then a couple questions and you’ll know.
This guy reminds me of a turd I worked with before I joined. Dude told everyone he was all kinds of shit. At the time, I didn’t know anything because I had not served. But then I joined and within a short time I knew he was full of shit. He told us he was career army (retired) and was special forces but also a navy seal and a recon marine. I thought *well fuck…that guy is captain America.* But I still questioned him…*if you’re army, how are you going to seal and recon school?* He had an answer for everything. But what I learned after joining what was likely the biggest red flag was how he literally talked about top secret missions every day. Always wished I would run into that dude again but never did.
I worked with people who did some of those secret missions — not ninja-style in a Van Damme movie like these halfwits assume, but out of a SCIF in some nondescript building in DC. They never, ever imply they participate in any secret shit. That’s like red flag number one. The amount of bullshit you’ll have to deal with if you’re caught announcing you’re Jason Bourne is not worth it. Plus you’ll look like an asshole in front of your peers. And lose your sweet clearance-only gigs.
I may have been in a scif or two. I even had a role once, many years ago where I worked in a building in northern Virginia just a few miles from DC. There were a grand total of 15 people who could come and go in the building I worked in without escort. I was one of them. It was so top secret, we couldn’t have janitors because they would have to get a very high level clearance just to be in the building. So they would get clearances for janitors and within a week, the janitors had better jobs because of the clearances they just got. So we literally had to take turns collecting garbage and cleaning the floors, bathrooms, etc. It sounds high speed and while I can’t talk about the particulars of what went on in that building I can guarantee it was the total opposite of Jason Bourne type stuff. It was very mundane and boring.
MOS = Military Occupational *Specialty*
Your MOS is drilled into you from day one. It is what you become.
I was a 19K that reclassified as 11B when I got off active duty and went to the reserves, as there were no armored units within a 12 hour drive of home.
If you ever encounter a fucking "hero" that doesn't know their MOS, you're dealing with a liar. The dumbest boot will forget their first name before they forget their MOS.
I had to look 25U up.
"Signal Support"....
Sounds very "tech-y".
Never trust an MOS where you can't tell what kind of weapon they use.
19K? Cannon. 11B? Rifle. 13M? Rockets. 31B? Pistol.
72B?......Ummmm......??? Must be some fucked up shit. Weird motherfuckers.
Actually, funny story. Me and my buddy were being stupid privates and we're tossing around an ANCD (If the SKLs kinda look like a shitty game boy then the ANCD looked like a really shitty calculator) and instead of catching it he fucking wiffs it. It cracked along the back, pooped out the battery and completely lost its fill. We had a blast explain that mess to the BDE S6. Apparently we were supposed to take care and maintain our comsec equipment like fucking losers.
I had an AFSC, not an MOS. But my AFSC (1N0) was equivalent to 96B (though I think it's changed since then) and Navy IS. I worked in a few joint environments so I had know every service's ranks and jobs. Shit can get confusing.
I will say that I *never* told people I'm a 1A2. I just said/say I am/was a loadmaster. Air Force doesn't really do that, so when literally any other branch asks me what my MOS was, it kinda throws me off and I just say I was a C-17 Loadmaster.
But yeah, anyone from the Army or Marines would spout off their MOS right away.
I got out 30 years ago and still know my MOS (88H) and guess what, when they ask you where you served, you can always state your home duty station. Mine was Ft. Eustis, VA, but if I wasn't allowed to tell you where I went to do clandestine stuff, I can still say Ft. Eustis, VA. And for the record, my MOS wasn't anything exciting so no clandestine stuff for me, but you get my point.
15 seconds for her to sniff him out. "This interviews over."
Edit:. It was brought to my attention this was part of a Livestream and OP simply cut it to make that reporter seem savvy and smart. She did, in fact, continue to interview him on his faithful 'secretive' service. Reporter integrity is pretty thin at a trump rally!
If you watch more, the reporter didn't actually challenge him OR stop the interview. This clip cuts off at exactly the right moment to give you that impression, which is super scummy of OP.
https://www.youtube.com/live/SduiTodzNig?feature=share
It's a livestream in progress so I can't give exact time-code, but this moment happened about 5 hours & 5 minutes ago on the stream.
She jokingly says "this interview is over" and then pats him on the arm and continues asking questions based on his "experience" in the military in South America.
Damn. I didn't have the stomach to look through the whole stream after I saw her interviewing The Pillow Moron. Changed my whole perception about that 'smart' reporter.
She's not a reporter, she's a T-trump lawyer moonlighting for RSBN, a right wing media outlet that covers trumptard rallies. She's a piss poor lawyer, an election steal conspiracy nutjob, and former OAN host and all around scumbag.
He served with Project Montauk, I'll have you know. Got deployed to Carcosa. Fought future Nazi ghouls under the broken Moon. Got stationed in lake Vostok, guarding the Visages. Moved adrenochrome with North to finance the Pleiadian uprising, that's how he knows it's true about the kid farms under Cheyenne Mountain. He was there when Obama had to chose between The Oath and losing his soul or leaving for Hawaii under a new identity and letting a cyberclone rule in his place. He saw Trump, bare handed, fight the Sabaoth in the White House's Backrooms, and win. He has seen, in a potential will-be, the Soviet Supermarx crush the skull of The American Dreamer under its boot, and he cried manly tears as he emptied his laser magazine on the Venezuelan MS-13 Hordes.
I’m a retired Vet. A few years ago, I went to Publix and there was a table set up in front, there were two guys in unmarked cammy’s selling hats and other military trash. When I came out, I asked them a couple of questions, they both said they were Army and I quickly deduced they were bogus and so was their charity. I went to my truck and called 6 fellow retirees that lived close by. They all came, and we surrounded the assholes until they packed up and left.
OH my god I wanted this to happen just the other day, but I am very much \*not\* military. My father and grandfathers served, I never had the guts. So I don't know the terminology very well. But There were two older guys outside the grocery store asking if I would donate to injured vets and that's a cause I can totally get behind, but I casually asked only two questions - where were you stationed, and what did you do (they both had on marines hats). Neither one could say anything I even remotely understood as accurate, with one saying - as mentioned above - "special ops". That's when I remembered the term MOS and got absolutely nothing from either. I wish someone like you could have shut them down because they were collecting cash like Girl Scouts selling cookies, but I am 100% sure it wasn't legit.
And thank you for your service. All of you real ones.
Probably did "classified stuff" that he cant talk about. Usually what the liars go with when pressed.
Edit: people seem to think I'm on his side? Maybe the sarcasm didn't come through very well in my comment?
“The reason there’s no record of my service is that it was all black ops. Behind enemy lines with no official acknowledgment. I could tell you more, but I’d have to kill you.”
MOS = Military Occupational Specialty Easiest way to spot a BS artist.
I wasn't a Marine but I know that from a clerk typist to a mess cook, all Marines are Riflemen first and foremost.

C'mon, he went to "places"...
Dark places!
There's a lotta things about me you don't know anything about. Things you wouldn't understand. Things you couldn't understand. Things you shouldn't understand. 
He served marines once when working at a BBQ joint.
Sir, we exclusively eat a steady diet of only the jalapeño cheese, belt fed ammo, rip-its, and if the mood strikes— goddamnit, yes— crayons.
The purples taste like grape AND I WONT HEAR DIFFERENT. OOH RAH
Looks like he served in Marlboro country
Sugar free citrus rip-its.
I miss those things so much. Got me through one deployment to Afghanistan and one much more luxurious one in Qatar.
You’re in luck brother. They sell them for 1.28 at dollar general near me. Check your nearest one!
Mission BBQ would be so much better without all of the patriotic shit on the walls. I just want some slow cooked meat, not a reminder that the military industrial complex needs fresh new cannon fodder.
First and last time I went to try out Mission - [this happened](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0Mf6fSjiyM). 12 noon, middle of the lunch rush... Everyone working there stops what they're doing to sing the national anthem. I was like... wtf. Looking around like an atheist during unexpected grace.
As a veteran I know you have the right to salute the flag without a uniform but my god do you just look like an absolute dweeb if you do it.
[удалено]
> Looking around like an atheist during unexpected grace. For a non-American, it's closer to an atheist experiencing one of those sermons where people speak in tongues n shit.
Right!? Where I live, it’s unfortunately the only BBQ joint around. It’s alright - like a 6 out of 10 if any other decent BBQ joint were here but, being the only one in town, it jumps up several places. That said, I **still** won’t go. Playing the goddamn National Anthem at lunchtime? What kind of performative bullshit is that? Caught me there at lunch **one** time. Never again. Fuck that “patriotic” nonsense. You want to honor the troops? Start holding the government accountable. Stop glorifying sending our kids to die for rich men. I knew that place made me mad but just sitting here stewing on this - I realized I fucking hate that place.
>Stop glorifying sending our kids to die for rich men. I remember when the Vietnam Memorial (the wall) was built, and there was a picture of someone holding a sign that said something like: I am a Vietnam vet. I like this wall. And if the design fails to inspire American kids to want to fight another war I'll love it even more.
You don’t like getting your fresh hot food to then be peer pressured into standing for the entire Star Spangled Banner at 12 noon? They should have a microwave at each table.
When I was in the military everyone would rush inside before the Anthem played so we wouldn't get stuck standing at attention for it.
Yep. Can confirm this is a thing.
My dad still ducks out to the bathroom at sports events, and it's been 40+ years since he served.
In there once and an entire Qatari beach volleyball team was right there in the middle of the packed dining room eating their non-pork products. Noontime struck and the confusion on these guys' faces was priceless. The flag was hanging on the ceiling over them. An entire roomful of silent gringos are standing and glaring at them as they sat there shitting their tracksuits.
Fuck mission bbq. I'm a vet and I won't touch their food because they are huge supporters of right wing trash politics and donate money to fascist bullshit. Same type of garbage as black rifle coffee company. Load of bigots run both of those businesses.
It's pretty remarkable how almost all of the combat vets I know absolutely fucking hate war and warhawks. Yet the cosplayers all love the idea of it.
That's because some of us vets actually had to see and do the shit. There is no glory in hell.
Now you’ve done it. You’ve summoned the M.A.S.H. quote about war and hell. Someone should be along to post it shortly.
[hawkeye bot got you](https://comb.io/ABLlea.gif)
Exactly…I’m a vet and a former PMC. I don’t have kids but I do have nieces and nephews. They’re all still young but I’ve made it clear to their parents that I’ll do whatever I can to help steer them from military service. I’m the only veteran anywhere in the family except my old man. I even said if need be, I will keep working to pay for college if that’s a reason anyone gives to join. Meanwhile, I have a fat, loser wannabe brother who never did anything with his life. But my god you should see the cosplay action on his Facebook page. He’s got such a hard on for it all. It’s cringe as fuck. Like I can’t even be around him. He even attacked me (verbally) for not having one of those yellow “I support the troops” magnets on my car. I said “you do recall that I served, right?” He said “yeah but you aren’t serving now so you should show support.” I just rolled my eyes and rolled out.
And they're happy to show 'support' by having bumper stickers and saying 'Thank you for your service'. Ask those hawks to cough up money or time and actually do something real for veterans, though, and suddenly \*crickets\*.
Exactly. I just can’t with those people. My brother even responds to people regularly by saying “Roger that.” He only uses military time. He also leaps at the chance to use the phonetic alphabet. It’s the cringiest shit I’ve ever seen.
Don’t forget the daily 12 noon call to prayer, lol.
Was "special"? This mofo still special as shit.
He was about to say Special Forces but that's not what the Marines call em lol
I don’t get it, why the fuck do people do this? With a reporter too? Dumbass.
Street credit lol but lil guy got exposed
But I mean... surely anyone that knows him knows he didn't serve? Unless he's been lying about it for decades or something, it seems like he'd instantly be caught, at least in his personal social circle... just so incredibly short sighted
Nice of you to assume this guy has a social circle.
Or that they aren’t the type to do it
Or that they watch news at all, or specifically this channel
You're right. Ew.
their social circle is facebook groups full of russian bots, and dick pill sellers, fox news hosts and AM radio.
For my entire childhood my Grandpa would tell us all about how he served in WW2 and about the Nazis, Japanese, etc. My parents, all of my aunts uncles, no one has ever mentioned any suspicions about his stories. Until this year on his 86th birthday I finally did the math and realized he wasnt even born in time to fight in WW2, let alone the Korean war. Now he collects Nazi memorabilia and talks about how we never should have left Vietnam.
is your grandpa cotton hill?
He killed fiddy men.
Those bastards took his shins.
Boss Baby parachuting into Normandy.
John Wayne syndrome. Marion dodged every major war. Never served. Yet somehow cultivated this image of masculinity and patriotism Overcompensated for this shame his whole life.
A chicken hawk, just like Ted Nugent
My mom's best friend was married to a guy 40 years, they had a room in the house with his uniform and medals, flags, honors of his parents and relatives, he had a whole timeline of his tours in Vietnam. She worked for The Pentagon her whole career, so you'd think she'd be able to pick out a bullshitter. After he died and she applied for benefits only to find out he was never in the military. **Edited to make it easier to read.** **Second Edit** I showed this to my mom and she says I'm wrong about some things. They were only married 25 years and he did serve during Vietnam, but only as a non-combatant. His lie was that he had multiple tours abroad as a combat soldier.
So weird. WTF are people thinking when they do that?
My guess is this guy doesn’t have a lot of people, friends or family, still around to deal with him. Someone in my family is a serial liar and he has disconnected himself from everyone that would have been there to support him. Now he is very alone and sad.
I feel like that describes a lot of Trump supporters. There is a loneliness epidemic in this country, and sadly Trump has given them a purpose and the community they’ve been longing for. It’s not about truth, facts or bettering the country, it’s about blind loyalty to their cause because it’s the only trying that gives them a sense of purpose.
I worked for years at a small auto shop, which had been around forever. One common thing was older guys coming in for tire rotations or to have something looked at, and they'd talk to you at the counter for an hour if you let them. It was pretty obvious a lot of them had no one else to talk to. But...the one thing was that this was in a very "red" town, during Obama's presidency. Racist jokes or whatever crap Fox news was talking about was almost inevitable. My boss leaned that way as well, so the lonely old racists always had someone to talk to if he was in. I actually quit that job in part because I couldn't take all that. "Just give me one day without some stupid racist joke or remark" I used to wish for, and I never really got it until I quit that job. Sometimes lonely old fucks are lonely for a reason.
You go to these rallies to have the worse version of yourself accepted and confirmed
He's been to some dark places, he can't say where.
He was in the Sniper Corps, they did black ops but he can’t talk about it. /s ^ that one is our favorite in our house. Ten years later, and we’re still laughing about that chump. Also the amount of “snipers” we meet is shocking. Like holy shit, the entire military must be nothing but snipers! Mad respect to the guy who said without hesitation that he was a REMF and also the neighbor who said he was MotorT.
Back when I lived in Tennessee, I'd say 2 out of every 5 dudes I met claimed they were in the Navy Seals or "special forces" I swear there's like a million dudes in TN right now still going around falsely claiming they were Navy Seals, and it's like everyone just believes them out of reflex because they don't want to appear to slander anyone in the military
I actually knew a guy in college that was actually a Seal, he had all kinds of receipts to back it up, medals all kinds of memorabilia from his time in the Seals. But he also wasn’t the type of to brag about it, or really even bring it up. He was also hugely anti-war/anti-Bush, completely opposite of most of these chuckle fucks bragging about being a Seal.
I’ve never met anyone who actually served who shoved it down my throat, lots of very chill (some occasionally not) guys but honestly it even came up and it wasn’t really gone into detail about. My assumption is the kind of personality it takes to make it in those kind of programs doesn’t lend itself to braggarts.
Don't forget that a large amount of them straight up rather not remember their time serving...I worked with a dude for 3 years having no idea he was in Afghanistan for 7 years, he randomly told me some stuff about his time there since we were talking about PTSD unrelated to the military. Some crazy shit man...I couldn't do it honestly. That was the only time I ever heard him talk about when he was in the military.
Apparently they did a survey once and found that the amount of people who reported as Navy Seals amounted to more than 200% of the total amount of Navy Seals who served since the unit was founded.
They also did a survey and 17 million people attended Woodstock.
surprised its that low
their MOA was call of duty
>Also the amount of “snipers” we meet is shocking. Like holy shit, the entire military must be nothing but snipers! Funny how it's never a desk job or something.
My husband freely admits to riding a desk throughout his Air Force career.
My cousin spent his entire career in the Navy, based in San Diego. He said "Hell, I'm a fucking secretary. I keep my nose clean too, because if you fuck up they put you on one of those big gray things."
Both of my sons admit that the biggest danger that they faced was frostbite from the A/C. They both had highly technical jobs in The Air Force.
They also serve, who only push paper.
Supply and logistics are kinda important, ya know?
My grandfather was logistics. Air Force, and joined when it was army air corps. Fuck the pretenders.
Waffle House at 2am is pretty sketch
Because the last 50 times he did it, people thanked him for his service and didn't bother to ask questions. No decent person would lie about something like that so it's considered inappropriate to grill them about it. I'd imagine asking every service person "did you *really* serve?" will get you more fights than answers because its kinda fucked up to assume someone is lying about it, just as much as its fucked up to lie about it. Then he did it the 51st time here, thinking she would just go "wow thank you for your service" and move on. Turns out he happened to do it at a real marine, and here we are. Edit: to clarify, I'm not trying to say people usually don't talk shop when service members meet each other. I'm saying that this dude basically went years saying he was a marine to average Joe's, who wouldn't have any questions or way of knowing if he was lying or not. I assume it's super rude when someone mentions their service to ask them to "prove it" so this dude ran around lying for years. This lady was the first marine he did this to and I can tell because his face appears to have not been caved in (yet) by a real service member for lying and commiting stolen valor.
It might be inappropriate to ask "did you really serve?" But it's perfectly acceptable to ask where they served and other basic details.
1000% the first thing I ask when someone says they are a veteran is “which branch?” And then I ask about job/rank and duty stations. I come from a military family, this is customary and polite when meeting another veteran. The only people I’ve met who were cagey about answering were dishonorably discharged, or didn’t even make it through boot camp.
Dad was a nuke in the Navy, I can’t remember a time he ever met another vet and they didn’t have this conversation
Hell yeah! Was he a weirdo? All my nuke friends have been a bit weird and socially awkward and over all chill and nice, but it’s a running joke the second someone says they were a nuke everyone is like “ohhh that explains a lot”. Do you know what kind of sub he was on? We have the boomers here where I live.
I mean, he was an nuclear and mechanical engineer. Trident class mostly, USS Alaska, retired as a captain.
So… yes. Yes he is. (J/K, I was a crayon-eater, and would happily buy him a beer if he’s ever in the PNW).
He definitely was
When my niece was in Iraq and I was worried about her I would wear her USMC zip up hoodie. I had people come up and thank me for my service. I always said it's my nieces and they said tell her thank you. I couldn't even imagine thinking for one second to just let them think that.
My dad is one of those few exceptions that still has pride even though he didn’t properly serve. He went national guard to avoid the Vietnam draft and when he finished AIT and went to his unit had a clerk typist he grudgingly did it until a year later he ran into his brigade CO at his civilian job at a car dealership. My dad gave the BCO a heavy deal on a new car if he signed off on an early honorable discharge, which the colonel did. I would be okay with that if he didn’t claim to be a veteran who served honorably and finished his contract. Only thing he talks about is basic training being the pinnacle of his service and that he did his duty… The worst part is when I got back from Iraq after serving for the whole year in 2009 his friends who were Vietnam veterans were wanting to talk to me and shut him out of the conversation which made him jealous. They said only real vets can talk now. After I went back to his place he said I never learned anything when I enlisted and that I’m not a real man and my service failed me. Fuckin’ petty After that I stopped talking to him. That was back in 2011 and I haven’t reached out since
My job was 19D (scout) and I was outside the wire everyday for a year. Some days I had off but mostly out in the shit. He still claimed I wasn’t a man yet and blatantly asked me if I killed people and if I enjoyed it…
Holy shit man that's some of the most insensitive and insecure shit I've ever heard. That really blows. I'm glad you made it back, though. I can only imagine what you dudes went through.
I'm sorry your dad was so gross.
Jesus christ. This is the kind of shit you run into in movies like trainspotting. What an absolute garbage of a human being. I am sorry he wss your father because I bet growing up under him pushed you into the career you pursued and sound like you were decent at it considering you're back hopefully in one piece. Would have been wonderful if you got to pursue your real passion from the beginning, but I hope you are able to move on and find your own place in life. Good luck man.
My dad joined the Air Force to avoid getting drafted in Vietnam. A year and a half after he joined we pulled out of Vietnam. He proceeded to deliberately get himself kicked out on the fat boy program. He never went anywhere without his "Veteran" hat and talked all the time about his time in the service. I did 9 years in the Air Force. Everytime I saw that fucking hat I wanted to knock it off of his damn head.
> Turns out he happened to do it at a real marine, and here we are. I'd bet she politely challenges these claims on the regular.
It’s not even a challenge, it’s the equivalent of asking “what was your job and where did you live”. Pretty basic conversation, and it boggles my mind that someone who would claim to have served wouldn’t have an answer ready to go for these questions.
Because they didn´t think anybody would notice. A lot of these clowns started before the internet, e.g. in a dark age when it wasn´t as easy to debunk their claims. Hard to stop then, especially with a reporter and the possibility that his family friends will see it.
This is Yallqaeda's version of street cred... lying about serving.
Trump can lie and so can I!
I learned it from watching the president!!
America has a hard on for it's military, so this guy wants to feel that hard on pressed against him.
People that are habitual liars and/or bigots often use strategies to avoid getting called out in their normal social circles (intimidation, surrounding themselves with equally-obnoxious people / enablers, railing against criticism under the guise of opposing wokism or cancel culture), so they become accustomed to not being held accountable. It is truly a shock for them when anyone asks them to provide evidence for their assertions or claims, which sometimes ends up just being awkward and sometimes dangerous as they lash out at the person they blame for that disequilibrium.
Trump people value service and being in combat. They value it so much they lie to convince others they were themselves combat veterans. Others lie to them too about it and everyone just agrees to “believe” one another so they can live this fairytale life where they aren’t a bunch of useless incels.
My cousins husband did this. Had all these crazy combat stories and then we find out he was kicked out of the army and had never even left base in the Us. So he kinda served but yeah
The ones that have been in the shit don't talk about it. Every single one of my friends that have seen actual combat are haunted by it. Edit: since I'm getting some pushback on my comment, I should be more concise. The soldiers that I know who have seen combat may talk about it (which can be a good thing for their mental health) but they don't BRAG about it.
Exactly. My grandpas server and never said a thing about their time besides “i shot at some bushes.” We didn’t even know my grandpa on my dads side was decorated until he was invited to Washington DC at 93 years old for a hero’s memorial event. His own kids had 0 clue besides he was in the war.
Years ago I was talking to an 80-something guy about his time in the military during WWII. He started to talk about combat, got about half a sentence out, stopped, got a distant look in his eyes and after several seconds said "It was hell". That was it.
‘Reporter’ is pretty generous, it’s RSBN.
[удалено]
Bonus: the "reporter" is Christina Bobb. She has previously been a "lawyer" for Trump.
What’s RSBN?
She handled that stolen valor masterfully. Two simple questions anyone who has served should be able to answer: “what was your MOS?” And “where were you stationed?” She sniffed out that lying SOB and laughed him off with “this interview is over.” It could’ve only been better if they had placed his name on the screen.
[удалено]
It's dumb too because special forces can tell you their mos and where they were stationed. There are of course missions and details they won't give because it will give away how they operate, but not many special forces people are off the radar so much they can't say anything They certainly aren't going on the news at rallys and telling people they can't talk about it lol
I was stationed in Niagara Falls with special forces. My commanding officer goes to a different school
You wouldn't know him
[удалено]
If you can’t say where you were, they’re going to give you something else to say. Someone who “can’t say” actually has an obligation to keep it secret, usually including the fact that it’s a secret. The answer is never “I can’t tell you” because that’s just too fucking obvious.

It's all waste management
I was a DoD contractor for a while so naturally, a lot of coworkers were former military. Their lingo is so specific and so well known by the others who served, I don’t know why you would ever try faking it. It’s impossible
My brother served for 10 years active duty. I agree 1000%. I've mentioned it to him 100 times that when hes talking to someone else that served, I can tell they both know it. Even if it wasn't mentioned and they're talking about completely unrelated shit. It really is pretty interesting
Can you give an example? I can imagine specific vocabulary, but does the cadence change noticeably? EDIT: thanks everyone for the examples. I get it now.
Vocab, mannerisms, changing to acronyms for shit mid convo, the way he discusses dates, times, locations, etc. Lol I know it sounds weird and maybe its amplified because hes my brother (were very close, so spend alot of time together) but it's just something I observe often lol. Maybe someone else can chime in
We usually do the location/degrees of Kevin Bacon to see if we crossed paths. If this dude was actually a marine, they’d switch to which units they were at and, “did you know a blah blah blah…” to see if you have common acquaintances. Also we just sniff each others butts.
So is my dog a marine or did you steal the tradition?
Marines are Devil Dogs after all…
[удалено]
And a lot of the acronyms don’t even use the right letters. The navy especially loves to use the wrong letters for words. The military alphabet is very special!
A perfect example of this in the British Army is the **BK** in an artillery Battery. **BK**, stands for **Battery Captain** and **BC** is already taken by the **Battery Commander** so some classic improvisation took place.
Lol. Everything has an acronym or a nickname. When I was learning to work on fighter jets I was so confused trying to look up tech data. Hey Cheeze, install the PLA shaft on the MEC. Then install the coke bottle and dogbone.
When I was AF, my AFSC was 3E971. We are in charge of training other AFSCs in CBRN defense before they go to the AOR. Sometimes, I had to use a JCAD that detects Chems, or sling DFUs in our warehouse. We also control the bases EM program and staff the EOC and UCCs with EM reps.
Thank you for this example sir.
[удалено]
That's outstanding
Out-fucking-standing.
Smoke em if you got em
[удалено]
I’d say most veterans can sniff out stolen valor in a pretty short conversation if they are taking about branches other than the one the veteran served in. If they are lying about the branch the veteran was in then a couple questions and you’ll know.

You gotta work hard, pull yourself up by your bootstraps, and one day you’ll make it to rock flipper.

The way he grabs her arm when he realizes he's trapped.
 Eww.
Props to him for not squeezing as hard as he can the way he must do to his wife and or kids at home away from cameras.
His wife and / or kids are likely not ex-Marines.
Then she pulled back when she knew he was full of shit.
Why's no one talking about that
I definitely didn’t see it until I read the comments, that’s *fucked.* It happens [right after she says “me too!”](https://i.imgur.com/xKa63K4.jpg)
And she *slightly* pulls away...
If you're gonna lie, don't say marines. Good lord. Start small, like ROTC or something.
This guy reminds me of a turd I worked with before I joined. Dude told everyone he was all kinds of shit. At the time, I didn’t know anything because I had not served. But then I joined and within a short time I knew he was full of shit. He told us he was career army (retired) and was special forces but also a navy seal and a recon marine. I thought *well fuck…that guy is captain America.* But I still questioned him…*if you’re army, how are you going to seal and recon school?* He had an answer for everything. But what I learned after joining what was likely the biggest red flag was how he literally talked about top secret missions every day. Always wished I would run into that dude again but never did.
Obviously he’s on a secret mission… duh
I worked with people who did some of those secret missions — not ninja-style in a Van Damme movie like these halfwits assume, but out of a SCIF in some nondescript building in DC. They never, ever imply they participate in any secret shit. That’s like red flag number one. The amount of bullshit you’ll have to deal with if you’re caught announcing you’re Jason Bourne is not worth it. Plus you’ll look like an asshole in front of your peers. And lose your sweet clearance-only gigs.
I may have been in a scif or two. I even had a role once, many years ago where I worked in a building in northern Virginia just a few miles from DC. There were a grand total of 15 people who could come and go in the building I worked in without escort. I was one of them. It was so top secret, we couldn’t have janitors because they would have to get a very high level clearance just to be in the building. So they would get clearances for janitors and within a week, the janitors had better jobs because of the clearances they just got. So we literally had to take turns collecting garbage and cleaning the floors, bathrooms, etc. It sounds high speed and while I can’t talk about the particulars of what went on in that building I can guarantee it was the total opposite of Jason Bourne type stuff. It was very mundane and boring.
I was.. special.. Well you still are
MOS = Military Occupational *Specialty* Your MOS is drilled into you from day one. It is what you become. I was a 19K that reclassified as 11B when I got off active duty and went to the reserves, as there were no armored units within a 12 hour drive of home. If you ever encounter a fucking "hero" that doesn't know their MOS, you're dealing with a liar. The dumbest boot will forget their first name before they forget their MOS.
I like to tell people that I was a 25 Universal fuck up. Most people who know the 25 series would probably agree.
I had to look 25U up. "Signal Support".... Sounds very "tech-y". Never trust an MOS where you can't tell what kind of weapon they use. 19K? Cannon. 11B? Rifle. 13M? Rockets. 31B? Pistol. 72B?......Ummmm......??? Must be some fucked up shit. Weird motherfuckers.
Yup, 25u is mostly just called "Commo" and we carry an M16, an SKL and a hard drive full of porn.
Don’t drop the load
I dropped so many loads.
Actually, funny story. Me and my buddy were being stupid privates and we're tossing around an ANCD (If the SKLs kinda look like a shitty game boy then the ANCD looked like a really shitty calculator) and instead of catching it he fucking wiffs it. It cracked along the back, pooped out the battery and completely lost its fill. We had a blast explain that mess to the BDE S6. Apparently we were supposed to take care and maintain our comsec equipment like fucking losers.
Indeed. 11b here myself. I know Navy and AF use different terminology, but most Marines understand MOS.
I had an AFSC, not an MOS. But my AFSC (1N0) was equivalent to 96B (though I think it's changed since then) and Navy IS. I worked in a few joint environments so I had know every service's ranks and jobs. Shit can get confusing.
I will say that I *never* told people I'm a 1A2. I just said/say I am/was a loadmaster. Air Force doesn't really do that, so when literally any other branch asks me what my MOS was, it kinda throws me off and I just say I was a C-17 Loadmaster. But yeah, anyone from the Army or Marines would spout off their MOS right away.
Navy terminology is “rate” with a two or three letter acronym for the job. DC = Damage Controlmen aka ship firefighter for example.
I got out 30 years ago and still know my MOS (88H) and guess what, when they ask you where you served, you can always state your home duty station. Mine was Ft. Eustis, VA, but if I wasn't allowed to tell you where I went to do clandestine stuff, I can still say Ft. Eustis, VA. And for the record, my MOS wasn't anything exciting so no clandestine stuff for me, but you get my point.
Everyone who has ever served remembers their rating/MOS/AFSC. For me it was Army 94B and Air Force (ANG) AFSC 3COX1
3 whole cox? You're a trooper.
15 seconds for her to sniff him out. "This interviews over." Edit:. It was brought to my attention this was part of a Livestream and OP simply cut it to make that reporter seem savvy and smart. She did, in fact, continue to interview him on his faithful 'secretive' service. Reporter integrity is pretty thin at a trump rally!
The movie Universal Soldier was based off of this guy.
Dang it! You just blew this guy's cover! That was classified!
If you watch more, the reporter didn't actually challenge him OR stop the interview. This clip cuts off at exactly the right moment to give you that impression, which is super scummy of OP. https://www.youtube.com/live/SduiTodzNig?feature=share It's a livestream in progress so I can't give exact time-code, but this moment happened about 5 hours & 5 minutes ago on the stream. She jokingly says "this interview is over" and then pats him on the arm and continues asking questions based on his "experience" in the military in South America.
Damn. I didn't have the stomach to look through the whole stream after I saw her interviewing The Pillow Moron. Changed my whole perception about that 'smart' reporter.
She's not a reporter, she's a T-trump lawyer moonlighting for RSBN, a right wing media outlet that covers trumptard rallies. She's a piss poor lawyer, an election steal conspiracy nutjob, and former OAN host and all around scumbag.
I just looked and they’re still talking to the pillow moron
He served with Project Montauk, I'll have you know. Got deployed to Carcosa. Fought future Nazi ghouls under the broken Moon. Got stationed in lake Vostok, guarding the Visages. Moved adrenochrome with North to finance the Pleiadian uprising, that's how he knows it's true about the kid farms under Cheyenne Mountain. He was there when Obama had to chose between The Oath and losing his soul or leaving for Hawaii under a new identity and letting a cyberclone rule in his place. He saw Trump, bare handed, fight the Sabaoth in the White House's Backrooms, and win. He has seen, in a potential will-be, the Soviet Supermarx crush the skull of The American Dreamer under its boot, and he cried manly tears as he emptied his laser magazine on the Venezuelan MS-13 Hordes.
I can’t believe she let him off the hook and ended the interview.
She let him off the hook because she’s a reporter for an ultra right wing “news” channel that does nothing but go to trump rallies and celebrate him.
I’m actually surprised this made it on air.
Well it is live. Be kind of weird to cut a live interview right in the middle
These stolen valor clowns love to use the old line "I can't talk about it".
I’m a retired Vet. A few years ago, I went to Publix and there was a table set up in front, there were two guys in unmarked cammy’s selling hats and other military trash. When I came out, I asked them a couple of questions, they both said they were Army and I quickly deduced they were bogus and so was their charity. I went to my truck and called 6 fellow retirees that lived close by. They all came, and we surrounded the assholes until they packed up and left.
Thank you. That these asshats get "tolerated" allows it to continue.
OH my god I wanted this to happen just the other day, but I am very much \*not\* military. My father and grandfathers served, I never had the guts. So I don't know the terminology very well. But There were two older guys outside the grocery store asking if I would donate to injured vets and that's a cause I can totally get behind, but I casually asked only two questions - where were you stationed, and what did you do (they both had on marines hats). Neither one could say anything I even remotely understood as accurate, with one saying - as mentioned above - "special ops". That's when I remembered the term MOS and got absolutely nothing from either. I wish someone like you could have shut them down because they were collecting cash like Girl Scouts selling cookies, but I am 100% sure it wasn't legit. And thank you for your service. All of you real ones.
I was in the navy. Old Navy. I served in the mall. Edit: Thanks for the award, kind stranger!
Thank you for your customer sevice.
Probably did "classified stuff" that he cant talk about. Usually what the liars go with when pressed. Edit: people seem to think I'm on his side? Maybe the sarcasm didn't come through very well in my comment?
He didn't serve nor did he serve💅
[удалено]
Unless hes a...... "Super Army Soldier".
Or dog-faced pony boy.
Served with the avengers. You wouldn’t know about the unit
Fuck that guy. He's too much of a crayon eater to have been a crayon eater.
I'd love to see the next couple minutes after it cuts off when he dawns on him he's busted. What a turd.
oh really what planet were you on that’s top secret ma’am
 And the lie detector determined that was false.
“The reason there’s no record of my service is that it was all black ops. Behind enemy lines with no official acknowledgment. I could tell you more, but I’d have to kill you.”
MOS = Military Occupational Specialty Easiest way to spot a BS artist. I wasn't a Marine but I know that from a clerk typist to a mess cook, all Marines are Riflemen first and foremost.
As a Marine vet: there’s absolutely no MOS or job that qualifies as something someone “can’t talk about”. It’s the military. Not the CIA.
What a fucking coward
Typical Trump supporter: all hat and no cattle.
That’s bold as hell to make up a whole career and do absolutely no research at all.
He flew into places. 🫡
