RP Members and Connections - Great article above imspired by SSgt Boyd Herrst - thank you Boyd!
The embellishment of military service records is not rare. But it is rarely prosecuted by federal authorities under the Stolen Valor Act of 2013.
What do you think RallyPoint Members and what should be done about it?

Jeez, he did not wear a Ranger tab upside down? British Para tie is a definite No-No, and the "V" device on The Silver Star in the third row? I served with Col. Bob Howard twice and his Silver Star was still in the TOP ROW right behind his DSC, and he Had the MOH. It is a true shame that only 5% of Americans could spot this clown. SOG patch on unit shoulder, too? Wish he had run into a real one- a 70 year old would whip his butt.

A lot of foreign awards. That guy sure went "all out." You are right about that Silver Star! I am surprised he didn't have the Medal of Honor but you are right about him having just about everything else... If my recollection serves me correctly Col Bob Howard earned 8 Purple Hearts and he was awarded the DSC, and numerous Silver Stars and Bronze Stars along with the Medal of Honor. I believe he was nominated for the MoH 4 times. It is a tragedy that he died too early - They should have made a movie about him. He was probably the most-decorated Soldier in US Army history. Although he earned 8 Purple Hearts I believe he was wounded something like 14 times and some were minor wounds and because he was in MAC-V SOG he declined some of these awards because the wounds were not serious enough. What a legend! Thanks, Jon

Put this ass in uniform and make him earn everything he has displayed. I think I truly understand the term stolen valor now.

I don't think it would be bad to order them to work community service at a local VA, Fisher House, or similar.

Maj Kevin "Mac" McLaughlin how about assign them community service somewhere cleaning latrines. Perhaps then they may learn something.
Peace!

I prefer that they be put in the company of those who served and in some case sacrificed their own well being while serving this country. Have them clean bed pans, sweep the floor, whatever. As long as they can in turn look our servicemen and women in the eye and see what a real one looks like.

This is what I posted in the header to this article in my timeline...—-V
So... Can’t prosecute them anymore... got to make them feel ashamed in other ways ....make them go see Wounded Vets at PTSD Clinics at Veteran Hospitals,, See the ones that can’t do basic care of their body(toilet and wash themself). .. because hands and feet are gone.. for some, a part of their head may be one big scar.. or maybe one that had the bottom half of their trunk cut away because of a IED like the ones who had no arms or legs. Or eyes.. Make them feel what an arse they are for impersonating a “Real Wounded Veteran’”.
Geez, these kind of scum buckets are nothing but “grabassticpiecesofamphibians*** ! They don’t deserve to walk behind on the same piece of
OF ground the Wounded heroes travel .!
