I served under Colonel Sanders, covert ops to secure top secret herbs and spices. I did a 3 piece.....extra crispy with a biscuit.
I fought under supreme commander field Marshall Ronald mcdonald at the battle of the dunkin donuts alot of our happy meal toys were KIA that day.
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 thank you for your service
Thank you both for your service!
Your sacrifices, sir, have made fried chicken consumption an astounding experience world-wide. I salute you!
@@roninmotors7466 one of our happy meal toys got captured by some teenagers, he never talked even whilst they strapped him to a firework. Alotta salad prep guys only made it out because of him.
I'm a real veteran 1974 - 1985. Any real veteran doesn't show off or dress up. We are humble and quiet. We don't think of ourselves as heroes, just soldiers (or other military) who did the job the best we could.
Facts
TRUTH
No… “most” are humble and quiet. Some are just idiots and loudmouths.
You mean, you worked a job from 1974 'til 1985? Because that was a golden age, and largely peaceful for us.
I'm retired Air Force and I'll put on my uniform for Memorial Day and Veteran's Day parades.
You missed something with the 1rst guy who said he fought in Korea. He would have had to be 7 years old when he enlisted. I'm 75 now and I was 5 years old when the Korean war started.
A true hero 🤣
🤣 that’s so funny
My dad is 84 (going to be 85 soon) whose closest participation in the military was the V day (Europe) celebrations and parades when he was around 8 years old. He did 3 years of college after high school but I came along and ruined his college plans. My paternal grandfather left school after 7th grade to work to help the family (Great Depression). My maternal grandfather served a term in the navy during WWII.
He was the drummer boy..
Space Force: my job is to kill aliens
Random Civilian: aliens don’t exist
Space Force: you’re welcome 😉
THIS made me bust up laughing!
Hey brother I was at the battle of Saturn! Man those rings were rough I get PTSD when I go to the beach and see all those rocks you get any pension yet I'm still waiting
Awesome 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Aliens don't exist
I do have e a SPACE FORCE T shirt....so....does that make me a colonel or a major?. And what FREE STUFF do I get?!?!.!
this dudes intros are the best
"you read the title, lets look at some more village idiots" 4 seconds and the video starts. not a stupid 5 minute intro about sponsor, how long it took, talking about a stone he found on mission etc. love it
I have been thinking how awesome this guy is wish he was gpa
So many posts on U Tube where people just want to hear themselves talk and no real useful info
she's a colonel and said, "yes sir" to the recruiter.
Calvin var, she’s a real Col, just a very polite one.
@@johnnunn8688 an honest liar lol
Noticed that too
Yeah, it’s called having respect lol
Im an O3 and ill occasionally say to enlisted sir/ma’am, does not hurt my ego, its about respect.
Jameson, you seem like such an open minded and calculated guy. It's an honor to get wisdom from you. Thank you for your service!
My father is a USMC, Vietnam vet. He’s an incredible man. Never had any ptsd, although he never talked about it. But he’s 82 and 100% mentally there. It’s such an insult to steal what my father went through, among many other of you hero’s.
My civilian flight instructor did a stint as a MC mortor man in Nam.never talked about it.
My late husband was a Viet Nam vet and was 100% disabled due to PTSD. He never talked about Viet Nam except to his psychiatrist at the VA. These idiots who pretend to be war hero’s are disgusting.
I agree.
How can anyone STEAL what your father went through?? Simply Silly.

I’m a veteran of the battle of Endor. We lost a lot of good Ewoks that day.
I'm a veteran of the Battle of tenab,it was my move they heard of , Not Landos

@@ajkoots258 I heard stories of that battle.thank god you came back.
Yoooo John brown
Lol the one who said “My MOS is to kill and survive” 😂
I know. that is some sh-t
LOL right
Well, that sounds legit enough, Vietnam was a hell lol
Well shit, I think I have the same MOS!!!
Lmfao I can actually see a grunt saying that.
Just using my father as an example, he never wore any part of his Marine uniform after marrying my mom in 1946, he never did one thing to glorify his service in the Pacific, he wouldn’t use VA services (survivor’s guilt) even when his monthly medication took half of his pension payment, he never attended reunions or met up with war buddies, and he only _very rarely_ talked about anything having to do with his service. Yes, he had horrible PTSD (“battle fatigue”) and he liberally self medicated with alcohol. So when I see these yo-yos pretending to be Marines I just shake my head. There was nothing my dad was less proud of than his military service.
My grandfather just recently passed. He was a World War II veteran. He never really wanted to talk about it. I found out recently why that was and some of it was really bloody and awful. I get it.
Your dad seems like a coward
My uncle is a Vietnam vet. He had an A-3 shot out from under him and watched his shipmates burn on the Forrestal. He never wore any military fatigues or insignia and never told any "Nam" stories. ( I only knew this from my Grandmother and recently asked him about it because I wanted his take on a certain senator starting the fire.) He didn't suffer any of my BS and made me learn knots.
(your uncle raped innocent children)
I don’t often steal valor, but when I do... I steal a lot of it.
Lol
Got a good chuckle out of me
I’m surprised sm hasn’t raged at u yet😂😂😂
👏👏👍🤣!
When i steal, i steal it all. Gonna be a huge panty dropper. Esther go big or stay home.
My grandpa fought for us in WW II, a pilot for the AF. His plane was shot down and he and his guys had to jump, POW for 14 months in Germany, recieved a purple heart and I know that because my Nana talked about it often. Not my grandpa. He never discussed any of it. My dad was also in the AF and fought for us in Vietnam. Never talks about it and never wants to. Im proud of them beyond belief and never once did either of them wear their uniforms. They are neatly tucked away somewhere. Hero's dont tell people they are heros. They just are.
@Puertecitos68 yes
LouLou Hart: My grandfather was also a WWII Aviator. He was a 2nd Lt. Navigator, with the 451 Bombardment Group (Heavy), 15th Army Air Force, Naples, Italy from 1944 to 1945. His bird was the B-24J Liberator (Front nose turret), fuselage number 74, nose art "The Purple Shaft". I was fortunate enough to have a bunch of scrap books, navigator training books, maps and sectionals, he even kept his A-10 Sextant and Sun Compass. He talked about the mechanics of his job and what base life was like, but he never talked about the brutality of heavy carpet bombing.
A few years after he passed, I found a citation of an incident prior to one of his 35 bombing runs. It happened over the ball-bearing plants in Scheweinfurt, Germany. His bird got straffed across the cockpit by a Messerschmit (German Attack Fighter). The pilot and first officer were killed instantly, radio operator was injured and bleeding out. The bomber began a nose dive descent. My grandfather was located just below the cockpit deck. He maneuvered up to the pilots seat and moved the pilots body to the radio deck. He took control of the aircraft and gained altitude to re-enter the bombing run. Coordinating with the bombardier they made their run, dropped their load and turned south. On the way back, engine #2 was struck by flack and parts from the engine took off a portion of the rudder strut (The B-24 has 2 rudder tails). He hobbled the aircraft back to Foggia Air Field and landed solo. Thus he saved the lives of 8 airman, including himself. For that, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. I would have never known if I had not come across an old wooden cigar box (White Owl) that had the citation folded up, the write up and the medal set with his name engraved on the back.
I would bet, that there are 10's of thousands of stories like my grandfathers, that have never been known or told. Brave men from a brave era. We are hard pressed to know of such acts of Honor, Valor and Humility in today's confused, video gaming, couch potato world.
Just curious, what have you done?
@@jamesbecker3420 , that is an odd question to ask someone. "What have you done?" Its not a measuring contest, however I can provide a short answer. I did my duty, for 25 years. To answer the question, that is more than anyone needs to know.
@@luxonlex4453 If it's more than anyone needs to know, why answer the question. So many people ride the coattails of their ancestors valued service/sacrifice. Just asking a fair question.
My youngest daughter is a Marine - told me to look Jameson Travels up - WOW! This is awesome, and so many people have no shame or pride! Great work Jameson!

The Vietcong definitely taught that first junkie some sick Martial Arts moves.
He is junkie Chan man.
jonn Rangers used SAN SOO Kung fu in the vietnam era. Most others learned Judo
Mosquito-swatting flashbacks - he's defo seen some swamp action.
When I first started to watch this, I was rather angry.
Watching the several encounters has changed my anger to sadness and pity.
I hope that each of these poor fellows gets the help he needs.
Not me. It makes me mad so many are out there. Really sad. Some are mentally ill & it is what it is. The other ones, forget it.
That's exactly right! I've never seen one red cent from any of these so called disabled veterans organizations. But I see several of these type of scammers infront of stores , gun shows, ect.
Word is... she’s still trying to put that folder in that bag 😅
"My MOS is to kill and survive... "
Wait so you were a cook?
92G XD
Thats good 😂😂
Class.

@Benjamin Romberg Being a cook at Chipotle is not 'the military.'
The only thing the first guy served, is himself another drink.
😂
If you want to help service members, go to a uso. Donate food, or your time
I’m glad you have pointed out the “vets” scam. I may have fallen victim to this on occasion
I'm a disabled Vet also, and I have never received any money from a Veteran organization either. Just the Va.
You have to apply to receive help.
That first guy is probably at a point in his life where he has remorse and wishes he did more. I think that's where most of this comes from. They didn't serve and now see people thanking vets and giving them discounts. They feel left out. They didn't have the courage or desire to risk their lives, but now want to reap the benefits.
I served in the military for 18-1/2 years, i agree with you whole heartedly.
Or it could be that he may have served but only for a couple years cleaning latrines or something more mundane like that but wants to make his service sound more fanciful than it really was. Have met those types as well
@@bakedbeansgangstajones3937 I got a "friend" like that. You have no idea the false stories this guy cooks up
My Dad was a Lance Corporal in the Marines. He was a Tank Driver stationed at Camp Lejune, North Carolina. He also spent some time on Okinawa, Japan but came back in '88 before I was born.
I like how he calls the cops on himself even though once they do come and verify him, they’ll charge him with a felony.
above.....shows u how stupid they really are...live in fanasty land 99% are ]
I used to dress up in camo when I was a little kid and play war with some of my friends in the neighborhood. We did a lot of things we're not proud of and I'm not going to use the "I was all hopped up on Kool-Aid" excuse. We lost a lot of good boys. Not because they died or anything. They just moved away for one reason or another. Every time I see a toy gun I'm right back there again.
This hits different
I always used the im all jack up on Mt Dew
This got me 😂
Dude we all did this me and my bois made forts and went after one another!!!
I had old guy at my grandpa's American Legion tell me that he was a Green Beret in the Marines🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wait a sec...
Maybe she was in Royal Marines.
Maybe he was in the marines and did the blue to green program and join the army and became a green beret? I’m just playing devils advocate that’s all

ahaaaahaaaha
I am not a veteran, I do not claim to be one, I do none of these activities, but I do appreciate our military men and women who allow me to do what I do day in and day out, but I will be a lot more conscious of where I donate my hard earned money, and I appreciate your take on some of these videos. The aggression seems not so neccessary. Let’s get the money where it needs to be. The most impactful statement is when you said I never saw a dime of that money. That needs to change!!!
I had neighbors that were upper military, a Lt Colonel in the Marine Corp, a General in the Marine Corp and an Army General and these guys were some of the most polished, nice, guys with strong character and they seemed financially secure to say the least.
I'm in Korea right now at Osan AB, so it's the Fourth of July here already, so Happy Fourth of July to you all!

These comments get better and better!!
@@seanwatts8342 General Admission here, it's good to see you as well.
Best intro ever. "You've read the title... Let's go"
No messing around, I like it. Great to hear your perspective on these videos. Thanks!
I have to say thank you for all your services to our country, and its greatly appreciated. And I have to say I like your rational thoughts. You understand that a lot of these people have mental illnesses. Let's always approach these people with some sensitivity. Stolen Valor is a serious problem. And mental illness is terrible.
0:40 Korea was 1950 to 1953 so you couldn't spend 4 whole years...
MASH was on for 11 years!
Hawkeye saved my life twice when I got shot up, he is an amazing doctor with a laugh track.
Yes, and in the 1950s, the Army apparently allowed men and women to have 1970s hairstyles!
i know he's lying, but you know soldiers are stationed in countries after war ends, e.g. occupation.
you got to kill and survive bro
50,51,52,53 is 4 “years” although it was Jun 50 - Jul 53, so technically not 4 full years.
If I had a dollar for every time I heard “put that in the comments”, gives a good laugh when I hear it😂
you would be rich
You would be a millionaire 😀
@Arthur Scott a shame he hasnt seen this
Jameson: How much do you think that would be put it down in this comment section.
Meh, you wouldnt be watching this had it not been for the comments.
He was a Major. Major Numbnuts of Fubar Coy, and his 2IC, Captain Catastrophe - behind enemy lines slowing up US progress in both theatres.
Great upload bro. The rule with hair when I served in REME, ‘89 to ‘94 was - everything under your beret was yours, everything else belonged to the Army. I had the standard N°4 on top, and 2 back n sides with a tapered neck - say that to a civvie barber and you come out looking like it was cut with a Flymo hover mower. If you wanted a moustache you needed the permission of the RSM, and 14 days to grow it, or so it was visible to the RSM at Monday morning parades from where he was standing. I’m happy to say I grew a ‘tache that even he would be proud to wear - sadly though, coupled with only 3 chest hairs, it wasn’t a look that women fantasised about when dreaming of a lean, green, fighting machine from Arborfield Barracks - ever plucked a nipple hair? I was only 19 though, now at 51 they’re growing out my bloody nose and ears…..
Before anyone says REME is a Corps so they don’t fight anyway - *everyone* is a soldier first before becoming anything, Tels Tech or SAS Trooper, Basic is Basic (or was) which is why in ‘93 all Basic was moved to The Guards Depot at Pirbright.
There’s 2 vids on TH-cam called Cfn in Training (Craftsman in Training) which follows the recruits from civvie up to passing out - then a weekend’s leave, followed 2 weeks of stagging on - learning ‘guard duty’ disguised as ‘awaiting posting’ hence 12 weeks training, week 10 was prep for posting etc…… I’ll stfu.
The worst part about souring the community is the fact that there may be a real vet somewhere that needs help but people are reluctant to trust.
I was a Seal at the Aquarium of the pacific.
My MOS was ball spinner and clapping specialist.
I've got countless confirmed treats ingested.
Get to my level posers.
Stolen Flipper right here! I was a lieutenant penguin of the 3rd belly sliding regiment for over 20 years. Never ever have i seen Seal with a ball over in the aquarium of the pacific you phoney!
I had brothers die clapping their fins! You oughta be ashamed of yourself!
@@jebbadiah LOL!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for spot lighting the Liars and Scammers.
True Vets need the Help.

I've never served but I absolutely love your content. You're funny without being rude, and you know how to address your audience and interact with us without being cheesy!
My great uncle George served in the USAAF in the CBI theatre. His first B-29 lost three crew members when hit over eastern China. Understandably he never talked about the war. It was only at his memorial service that anyone learned he had been awarded a DFC.

I worked 36 years as a firefighter. I worked in the part of town that dealt largely with transients. Almost all of them claimed to be combat veterans in Vietnam. The math often didn’t work out, with their age/ Vietnam war years. There were many real veterans as well. Anyway my point. Street people often claim wild stories to build street cred in order to protect themselves from the others on the street. Pretty sad really, the streets are tough.
I'm a totally disabled vet, you used to be able to call the VFW post and they would send real vets to talk to them, always fun to watch. When they call me I tell them "Thank god your sending me help". They hang up.
I wear utilities every day, and I wear a sidearm, but I don't claim to be military anything. My camos are comfy and the pistol isn't, but I need it for the work I do.
Bruh this lady the “Colonel”, actually walked off into a damn recruitment office and tried to sell some BS to recruiters. This is actually mind blowing lol.
Sadly it’s probably not a skit. Some NCOs probably got a good laugh out of it at the Recruiting station though.
Ian O’connor she should had just been more honest...well the shoes are for when you give me the money, I can run faster while yelling suckers! They may had respected that more and given her the money
she asked for...extra rank
Affirmative action?
I have to agree!!! If I was an 0-6 and some E-5/6 told me I was out of Uniform I would have gone through the roof!!! Did not happen here??? Check out the Nails and the Shoe's!!! I would have to look that up in E Olde AR 670-1!!! ACS or AER would be the place to go for help in this matter!!! In my close to 3 decades in the military they both helped me out a lot!!! All this Bird 0-6 needs is help on out the door in a Precise Military Manner!!! Thanks... SSG Brian P Kelly(R),Dis

I cannot believe these people have the balls to impersonate a soldier! A LTC walks into a recruiting station looking for a free hand out, LMAO!
Thanks you for your service
I was homeless for a couple of years. When I went to the VA they told me that since I was homeless for a year they qualified me for housing. It was actually my primary doctor at the VA that set it in motion.
Then three years later I was able to get my rating.
From my experience I was left with an impression that they select homeless vets that are ideal candidates as they put it. Due to the number of housing voutures available.
So it felt good that after 6 months I was able to get my own place, and open up an opportunity for someone else.
It did feel good to see it all work out in the end. Kinda was a very tough stretch for awhile, lost alot of faith in the system, only for it to be restored.
Your Videos really help me out in some kinda way. So thanks.
As a disabled war veteran I have seen a lot of people collection to help the war vets yet I have never seen a nickle from any of these organizations. You are spot on. We have the same experiences and same opinion.
if you are going to give, give to the treatment centers or invest in military bonds, va suplvida/west la medical or wbmac, ft lewis medical separation's commissions, or shop on the px and donate to postal relief centers for families in transitions ect. not non-profit orgs. non-profit orgs subtract expense expenditure for a ballance then pending on the state the collections are taken, can yeild up to 42% of the total funds, where the remainder is given to help centers, which are affiliated with that npo doing the same thing. so less then 12% of funds is often returned to veterans. also under title 10 of us treasury funds, as disabled veteran you are not suppose to donate or gift funds more than 10% of your compensations less your compensation could be halted indefinitely for reviews in the "veteran handbook of disability compensation and entitlements". it also has other direct donation lines of recommendations. and the bonds is only possible if you are a retiree or live near an open installations with an open finance office.
My father was a disabled vet and never ask a cent from anyone. He never talked about how he became disabled.
Advisors were sent to Nam in 59, had to have security clearance. I was in Officer Personnel, in 62 and saw a lot of officers volunteer.

Second clip - 3:14 "My family fought and died in THAT uniform!" ...If they fought in parade uniforms I'm not that surprised they died.
That house near the cement works - I was a young kid - the beds were wooden-sided platforms raised quite high off the floor - the bedding wasn't too bad, in contrast to the very greasy, bare wooden floor boards. The ladies, who were on the heavy side for the early 70's, were polite and nice to me. It was different enough for me to be curious about it.
Disabled American Veterans is a group I worked with when I retired in 1994. DAV doesn't charge for its services and will represent veterans at VA hearings and has other services. I've found it to be an excellent group that's primarily staffed by veterans.
i got out of the army in 1971....went out of my way to wear nothing military until 2003.....after i heard all the crap reasons from george w crew for the invasion and occupation of iraq i started displaying my military history....bumper stickers, hats, shirts, where ever i could....i was in the rear with the gear during my one year in vietnam....my dad was career army, i volunteered for the army and vietnam....i never even fired a gun but i was there and i am real...not like people that make up false histories...with modern technology it hard for these posers to get away with their lies......i have known two people that made up military experiences....we WERE friends till i called them out.....wage peace not war....
A buddy of mine (O331) was an officer recruiter back then and sometimes I would go to to one of the campuses with him. Being spit at was pretty common. Couldn't do anything about it really, but it did hurt. So, I know where you are coming from.
The modern technology in Vietnam was pretty miniscule, we had a few Starlight Scopes and some Seismic Intrusion Devices and a laser distance finder with a NOD (night observation device) on the Hill. What other technology was there?
@@cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059 A buddy that served in Vietnam claimed he served on a ground radar gizmo that would detect personnel. I understood it to be radar, not thermal. He said their Colonel wasn't tech-minded and pooh-poohed it. He said they were attacked shortly after he rang the Colonel.

I synced my Hummer SINGCARS with our CO, sitting right beside him , backed off about 100 yards and couldn't talk to or hear him. All that effing money....

Up until yesterday when I found this channel, I had never heard the term Stolen Valor I can’t believe these people
I think there a lot of people that feel they are a nobody, and want to be recognized in some form. I actually feel sorry for them. Missed their opportunity or failed entry exams. Then again, some guys think they are cowboys without ever been out of the city.
“Heroism doesn't always happen in a burst of glory”. Soldier to Soldier, great videos…
If you talk to a lot of the Vietnam era "veterans" you'll come away with the impression that the only guys in Vietnam were SEALs, airborne rangers or green berets.
and Recon
Ya every time I’m at the VA waiting for my Dr appointment,It’s amazing how many green berets and Special forces there was. I’m a Vietnam era drafty from 1970-1972 I just laugh under my breath you can tell the fakers as soon as they open their mouth‘s being a true veteran takes a lot of pride and humility
That guy who was supposedly in Viet Nam and Korea reminds me that when I was in Viet Nam in 1967, our C-rations came in crates labeled 1952. The USMC takes pride in being frugal.
6:05 idk though I was Navy and I met quite a few Ensigns, LTs, Commanders that had that entitled attitude, like they're allowed to break any rule they want. It was usually always Medical Officers and Admin or Public Affairs Officers. I mean not a lot but probably a handful that I met.
My dad served 20 years in the Air Force and retired as a major. He flew B-52s and WC-130s and served during the Vietnam War. The only evidence that he keeps of his 20 years of service in the Air Force are his retiree military ID which gets him access to the BX and the commissary and his DD-214. With this whole stolen valor thing, I have become very skeptical of people who claim to have served when they do the whole military dress up thing. I never served in the military because playing college football at a Division III school seemed to be more attractive than doing Air Force ROTC. Thank you for your service to our country and keep up the good work.

Shouldn't a colonel have their own driver?
Most importantly, all she has to do is make a phone call esp on active duty. They would make all the arrangement if she was stuck even if she had to pay it later...smh.
I've owned a cab company, and I've had to drive a colonel home from a bar. The bar owners (who I knew) paid for him. Pretty good dude.
I mean my grandfather was a colonel in the airforce and he drove himself? But then again he retired before I was born.
It would probably depend on what they do. Some Colonels run an entire base, some only run a few small shops.
Most Full Birds had a car and driver when I was in. Either way though, when you transfer duty station, whether you're your a PV1 or Command Sergeant Major, Uncle Sam makes sure you're squared away for transportation.
A) We found the boogie woogie bugle boy!
B) Most people dress imperfectly when nobody is watching.
Most Vietnam guys spent most of their time hiding trying not to get ambushed or booby trapped. Not too many Rambo types....my uncle was a top, over 30yrs army dog
As a six star general, this appalls me.
i thought you had 8 stars ?
Lol George Washington the comments
Did you prestige yet?
I was in the Army for 4 years. I've met several people who were not so much stolen valor, but just full of crap. Here are some examples:
1. A soldier who claimed he was an Airborne Paratrooper, unfortunately for him so was I and he couldn't answer basic questions about the Airborne life. He then admitted to me, he failed Airborne school but it wasn't his fault (41 clubbed, yeah right...). He seemed like he was a legit soldier, just lied about being Airborne. Unfortunately I've met others claiming the same thing and it's fashionable among new soldiers in some circles, the 41 club nonsense is a myth and anyone who says that is usually lying (or they suck at push-ups). Some people also failed from the runs and prefer to claim they got 41 clubbed.
2. I met a guy while chilling with some friends at a gun shop who claimed his military service was "classified" (oh boy!), I asked him what branch he served and he said "Air Force". Yeah ok guy.
Mahotei I met a guy 3 weeks ago who talked about some operations that definitely required you to be there or directly involved, yet he was 72 years old and apparently still on active call list. He also thinks we still use jp4 and well that was phased out over 30 years ago! So it’s more of a veteran who lost his marbles and forgets the year....lol.
And the AirForce last I checked....doesn’t have a classified mos..(afsc). But again I wasn’t informed on anything besides fuel, and convoys...dealing with fuel!!! We have the FARP team, but that’s also our special forces fuels department....so what I’m saying is maybe my daily jp8 inhalation fix killed what cells in my brain survived the nightly alcohol raids....so I may had not cared about others afscs really. But I know no promotion list gave numbers on a classified afsc either. So maybe he was just full of shit! Lol.
The only time I tell a woman something is classified, is when she asks about my 6 inch fuel hose! Sorry ma’am it’s not packed and it’s classified for her use only! No intention of using it, no need to know about it!
@@1983McGovern I met a vet who was older and he knew his stuff, but like your guy was maybe a bit senile or forgetful, he was under the impression we were using old as fuck radios still.
“My MOS was to KILL and SURVIVE!” That’s hilarious 😂. What a nut job.
I had multiple MOS’s which I admit is kinda rare, but not completely uncommon. I started in the Marines in Supply as a 3043 Supply admin clerk, lat-moved to 3451 Fiscal clerk, with additional MOS’s of 4066 and 4067 (Small computer system specialist and Computer hardware technician respectively), assigned as the IASO (which pissed off my Major because IASO stands for Information Assurance Security Officer but I was enlisted) this was when I was stationed in Taegu, Korea (Marine Liaison Team, Taegu 3rd FSSG), then I worked as a Range Coach (world famous Bravo Range on Edson Range, Camp Pendleton, and finished up my Marine time with Fox Co. 2nd Bn, 24th Marines, 4th Marine Division Milwaukee, Wisconsin as 0331 automatic machine gunner, then I went into the Army where I was a 14E PATRIOT Firesystems control operator/maintainer, and finished my Army time up my last two and a half years as a 25B IT tech (same as the small computer system specialist from my Marine time).
After all of that, receiving 17 US awards from the Navy, Marines and Army, two awards from Germany, one from Bulgaria, and certificates from the Air Force (which obviously have no wearable award to go with them), wearing only one foreign service award at a time (per regulation) I have been attacked for Stolen Valor (mostly when I wear my Marine Dress Blues because of how out of balance I look in that uniform compared to my Army uniform). I’ve defended my honor and still continued to be attacked, falsely accused. It pisses me off when I see actual stolen valor, but it pisses me off even more when I’m the one being targeted. We all know that we can not wear BDU’s, ACU’s, Cammies, dungarees or any other battle uniforms when we are not active/national guard/reserves, but dress uniforms are authorized for wear by Army retirees. Marines have a different outlook and regulation as to when and where retirees can wear the dress blues, such as funerals and formal military functions, but they can still be worn at times. I explain that I received my awards in the Army after I was in the Marines and sometimes they leave me alone. I love my Marine dress blues uniform, but would much rather wear my Army Service Uniform instead. Mostly due to the higher rank, and it’s not out of balance with the rank/service stripes/awards etc. It would be nice to see videos of real veterans like myself going over the uniform, awards, regulations, with both of my uniforms, and how to tell the difference between a real veteran and one committing stolen valor. Feel free to find me on Facebook or Instagram and send me a message. Thanks.
Here in Texas DFW area there are a lot of homeless vets with PTSD . A lot of them get very little help from the VA .
Jim I see these "Homeless Fake Veterans: all the time, one guy had a sign that said anything will help,, So I said here is my help you have Veteran spelled wrong and so is Marine. I told him to use a crayon to write Marine, lol
He was a rear admiral in Gilligan's navy. Have a happy and safe fourth of July. Go Navy🇺🇸
Everyday above ground is a good day 1975 - Go Navy!!! 🇺🇸
My grandfather was also in the military. He never walked around bragging about his ranks and stuff and never walked around in his uniform either
I love talking to that first guy. I have instigated those guys to say funny things. It’s fascinating. He was in battle of the network stars
"Vets" selling stuff on the street? Been there.
When I went to the dedication of the Vietnam wall in DC (my wife sent me). I noticed there were no vendors that had souvenirs to remember the event. No biggie.
Some time later when they dedicated the Three Soldiers statue, my wife and I decided to make something to sell to the folks coming in. We made a silkscreen bandana with the wall and the statue images. The graphics were done by our neighbor, a Korea vet. We had them printed by a vet owned company.
It cost $500 to get the permit to set up a table to sell from. We'd get up around 5am to set up before other vendors got there. We had a LOT of vets coming by. And many of them had brought stuff their local Nam vet groups had made as fund raisers, to sell to pay for the trip. But they had no way to sell it. No permit, no table. So, we had them put things on our table, and sold it for them. They got the money. They had come from all over by planes, trains, automobiles, and thumb. The things they brought were: 45 records of songs they wrote; photographs; poems; artwork; books; etc. We had a sign in book they could all put in their names and look through for buddies. When it was all over, there was a ton of stuff that hadn't sold. But we were in contact with all the guys. Soooo.. We took it home and printed up a catalogue of all that left over stuff, and new stuff from the groups we were in contact with. In one newspaper story they called us the biggest such outlet. Of course other stories would show up saying we were grifters and worse. And with that start, we became the official vendor for the NY ticker tape parade. Which put us in competition with the army of "regular" street vendors in NY. We were screwed. We had sold a ton of stuff, and finally counted the cash in our hotel room. As I recall we had $45,000. And none of it was ours. It all went to the folks who made the stuff. I believe we paid everyone we could(who all were vets or vet businesses) what money there was. But we had never planned to be a business. And went completely down the piss tube. My wife went back to being an engineer and scientist, and I somehow got into computers.(partially from putting our catalogue together.) B-)
Done that.
I love the way the vets scream and say things like, "That's MY uniform." No it's the government's uniform and sir if you scream like that you are as bad as the Walt.
Nobody likes a Stolen Valor Commando.
@@damightybenstein Most squaddies don't take much notice.
I would love to see a collaboration with yourself and Don Shipley reviewing videos like this together, or better yet, have you go out with Don when he confronts these fakers. Much respect, Sir - your videos are amongst my favorite to watch.

Came upon a panhandler with a sign that said “disabled vet”. Gave hm a couple bucks and asked him if he was a war disabled vet why wasn’t he getting VA benefits. To make a long story short, he was in the military for a time, but received a Dishonorable Discharge. Plus he was not a Vietnam Vet as he claimed unless he served when he was 8 years old.
He was a Drummer boy! (Falling Down)
The first guy looks too young to have fought in korea
No kidding! My dad was in Korea and he died ten years ago at the age of 77...
@@nousdefions702 my great uncle died 2 years ago and he was a few years late for korea
Even for Vietnam probably only the latter years max.
@@nousdefions702 my grandfather fought in Korea, he was born 1927 and passed in 2001, so roughly 73 or 74. That guy claiming to be a Korean war vet is definitely full of fuckin shit.
Friend I met at VA hospital was a Jolly Green before Nam. Worked with insurgents back country Cambodia. Talk about a real life bad ass even at 73. We were in rehab. Lou jumps the intake desk, knocks 3 attendants down and hot tails it across the parking lot like his ass is on fire. Man he could run. Once told me his only injury was he sprung a booby trap and caught an arrow in this calf, but was so scared he didn’t even notice it till it hung up in the brush. God I miss that guy.
And the VA is glad to help any veteran that asks for it. Drugs alcohol or injury. And like you mention homelessness is a big button issue in the VA.
Best one I've ever heard, at the YMCA outside Fort Lewis, guy said he joined as a "fire fighter" but ended up with Special forces because when he showed up to the "wrong unit" they said they were also "fire fighters" and did operation eagle claw and Blackhawk down in THE SAME YEAR. Legit no bullshit. MF'er stole all the Valor.
The last accuser said “anybody that’s been in the military has a ID card”, when I got out in 1989 after six years I didn’t get a ID card.
Sign up for VA benefits. The VA Card is good to have. I live in the Coeveland area and our VA medical system is great.
@@billgund4532, I tried but I actually make too much money to get one. I have VA ID card but can’t go to the VA hospital. Good for discounts in stores
@@styner3 I was fortunate to apply when I retired. I do have medicare, but the VA is becoming more my yo to for medical.
@@billgund4532, I don't need to use the VA medical benefits, I just found it odd that I couldn't go because of my financial status. I'm not a millionaire, and I did serve my country. SMH
I'm a Korean war vet. I spent my 18th Birthday on a ridge in Korea in1952. I'll soon be 86. So Korean War Vets are going to be some OLD guys.
Thanks for your service, Robert.
My grandpa was a Korean vet too. WW2 vets are in their 90’s and Korean vets 80’s and now nam vets are starting to push some age too. We need to sit down with vets and just shoot the shit. Their stories will be done soon.
My papaw was a medic in the army during the Korean War, he was drafted in
There ain’t no 28th inf at Ft Jackson. It was a basic training unit and my company was the last graduating class in 2005.
Most of the charities for the vets dont actually go to the vets. But there are a small handful that will help with something. They usually have like a 1500 cap for it as well but its an as needed basis.
My grandpa was a cook in the army and he was in the Korean war and hes 88 years old this year in 2020.. so he was 18 in 1950.. I doubt that drunk was in the korean war
Math is not everyone strength
He's correct 2020 - 1950 is 70 years. 70 + 18=88
@@kingjonathan2328 someonesomewhere means the old guy on this video don't have ability to correctly calculate.
I’ve met a guy like the first one when I was young and working in a liquor store. Claimed to be a Vietnam vet (we just assumed he was). He kept switching between being our best friend, to telling us he could kill both of us whenever he wanted with a very rapid change in demeanour. This switching lasted for about 5 minutes before the manager came out and talked him out
2:00 that's my grandfather. He wasn't in Korea but was in Army and got a general vmedical discharge from an incident in basic training.....
Ge got shot in the eye in the shower and contracted horrible case of syphilis.
I've been in the navy for 15 years so far and I still don't like asking for a military discount because I'm afraid of people judging me. So yeah when I see someone trying to make money by lying about their service drives me crazy
