I wanted to upload a pic from my iPhone when I was in Iraq in 2004. I met a Army recruiter in 2005 when I was 42 years old and she told me I can join up to age 42 and have 2 felonies back in 2005. My opinion was screw that if I am in Iraq I am going for the cash as a contractor. I went to boot camp in 1980 at 17 years old. I was much more badass at 41 than I was at 17. When I was 23 to 26 I was competing in boxing and kickboxing. When I was 29 to 35 I was competing in Judo. When I was 40 I trained in CSW and BJJ. Then at 41 the lifeguard job in Iraq came up.

Thanks 4 bringing this out, this has been such a problem. All I did was drive a truck and got hurt and I didn't even get a purple heart, didn't need one. But these fools can now go on line and get one, sickening. There is a dude Jared Evens who goes around claiming to be an airforce vet, claimed he was in a Hummer as Airforce security forces. He even has a veterans stamp on his DL. So people believe him. But I saw his 214 and he washed out for fraudulent enlistment. Makes me sick that this dude claims veteran status and gets the beniffit from it when he's not. Stolen Valor!

That was amazing. I listened to the whole thing while working out at the gym.

He said it would take him over a year to get a copy of it DD-214??? Seriously lol archives.gov sends a copy out in a few days (two weeks max) if you know your info.... not to mention they drill it in our head to get it notarized and file with the county right when you get out, so there is ALWAYS a copy on file when needed.... and not sure if I am alone on this, let me know, but I certainly did not get a DD 214 when I graduated basic??? BUT the reason I am pissed is he is claiming PTSD????? Did I understand that right? Is he serious? Does he not know the severity of what PTSD is doing to so many of us. I fight almost DAILY to deal with flare-ups, along with the over 250,000 other Veterans (who have served since 9/11 alone) and sadly the over 10,000 who have already taken their lives. He is literally making a mockery of a nightmare that so many of us would do anything to get rid of! I was a medic and a piece of me if dead forever.... and the VA just slapped a service connection number and sent me on my way, just like they do for everyone majority of Vets. I understand mine is very severe and that is my curse, but regardless of how bad it is... NO decent human being should be making light of the subject. SO coming from a Veteran who has nothing to do with videos games or who knows of this dude. I WILL TELL HIM, F*CK YOU! I don't know the men who made this video but hell yes do I understand their frustration because there is ONE thing that EVERY SINGLE VETERAN has in common, we know that there are certain things that should always be respected. Stealing Valor is easy as hell to spot because there is nothing about war that is worth bragging about. The idea you told anyone you shot a child goes to show that you are not a Veteran at all... You don't keep dibs on how many kills you get during engagement and you certainly don't brag about it.... EVER! I am typing this novel because I know your fake ass is following this video, clearly you have NOTHING better to do with your life. I have folded that flag more times then I care to admit and you sir are a piece of $hit and I am guessing that if you put the damn controller down I as a female veteran would tare you to shreds before you could spout out any more BS. My husband of 11 years died over there and you sit there with your wife and think it is funny to mock the life of real Veterans.... you couldn't have handled a deployment, hell you couldn't have handled basic. The guys on this video were right to call you out. Next time you consider glorifying yourself and what you did on your made up deployments, know that NO ONE who has really been deployed would ever brag about what is going on over there. You need to stop your BS before you piss off the WRONG Veteran. I am sure there would be a LONG line of us who would LOVE set you straight. Have some respect, you pos! You're pathetic!

My EX started going around telling people he was a drill sergeant for the Marines. The truth is that he did sign up to join, they took him to Cleveland overnight to ship out in the morning. He got upset that there were MP's at the hotel guarding the floor and they refused to let him leave his room to get a soda. Then he found out that they had just banned smoking cigarettes in basic, so the next morning he chickened out and refused to take the final oath. They put him out on the street in Cleveland and told him to find his own way home. We lived about 3 hours from Cleveland. It makes me sick that he is such a pathological liar who needs to fabricate his past because in reality he is an utter and complete failure. He even went so far as to have fake high school trophies made to try and impress girls. I remember one of them was for being an MVP quarterback for the football team. I found out he played the clarinet in the marching band. He took me to his grandparents house for a cook out or something and she had pictures up on the wall of him in his band uniform. I have always wished that he would run across a REAL Marine to take him to school. He's now 50 years old and he STILL lies about his history and just about everything else. Truly sad and disgusting.

FoIA request? SF-180? Just enter as much information as possible about the person. It cost me $25 to get basic service records on someone not long ago. Good luck busting this shitbird.

I never served for my country but all of my family did. I respect your courage and honor. Even though I never served I find it disgusting someone would pose as a veteran, because my family went through huge trials and tribulations after their service that they took with them to their graves. I always wanted to serve but I am a bit on the heavy side and they wouldn't let me join until I was recommended weight. I remember my family talking about the service but it all confuses me, but big props to you and your mates for fighting for my freedom.

Just stumbled on this, I'm glad you called him out, you can usually tell those who are fake. If he was for real, he would have simply said he would get his paper work and come back later. That said, I lost my 214 , when I ets'd out of Ft Dix ('72), they gave me a plastic coated sealed dd-214 and in my paperwork I had one also. Over the years I lost both. For some reason I needed mine a couple of years ago, so I got on the VA website and there is a place where you can request a copy, it costs (if I can recall, $5)

You can request his military records through the Freedom of Information Act, I do volunteer work for Stolen Valor/ Guardian of Valor, it's pretty simple to get someones 2-1 through NPRC.

You got to keep your tags at ETS ? I had to hand it all over, just one among many things. I regretted not lieing so I could keep them! A few years later I ordered a set for medic-alert purposes from a private company. Been wearing them ever since. I don't carry paperwork (214) around but I do carry my retired Army ID card and VA card. My 214 would be tatters if I carried it around, having gotten out in 1983! You need to show a DD-214 when you first go to the VA to establish your eligibility- but from what I understand, somehow some people manage to fake it and get past that block with phony documents. I had always thought that they checked the 214s against an official DOD list- may be some identity theft going on there. One of the guys on this says ANYONE can get a VA card, which isn't exactly accurate- you need to have done 90 consecutive days of active service to qualify for treatment at a VA- unless you got a permanent disability during training. Anyway, I agree, no real Vet is offended if confronted, you show your shit and move on. We all know there is a large number of frauds out there so showing one's bona fides isn't a problem between Vets, only the fakes get upset. I've run into more than one of them. And you are absolutely correct- it IS morally wrong and disrespectful to the fallen.

The armed forces need to stand together to debunk these assholes who try to steal valor from the ones who lived it and it falls on us and motivated individuals like yourselves to stand up for those that didn't make it home. The frauds need to know we won't stand for that shit. Keep it up, guys, you aren't alone.

What's up shipmate?

When I view these stolen valor videos and hear clowns like this trying to pretend they were a brother or sister in uniform- im not sure if I should be pissed at them or feel sorry for them. He is not one of us and never will be. I served our great Nation for 24 solid years with the U.S. Army. I am proud of each and every brother / sister who has or does serve- its one of the most demanding jobs one can take! for those posers out there, I say this- just don't get caught by a real serviceman / woman on the wrong day!

They took my cac card when I got out. After a couple of weeks, I got my retired United States uniformed service Id (blue card). Has the rank I had when I was medically retired. Expiration date: INDEF. And a DoD Id number. I had to give my cac card to our unit's S shop, because they told me I couldn't keep it. Also have not got my VA Id yet, applied for the id almost 2 years ago. Lol they are very, very slow on that.

While listening to this, I was able to pull out my DD-214 from the binder I carry everywhere.

I hate what he did, but I'm proud of what you guys did. I'm a young e3 in the Navy and I could tell he was jacked up. Good on you guys!

My va card diesnt doesnt have my rank on it

12:37 'You fire mortars out of that fucken apache too and then snipe from it?' I lost it there xD

Well done gents. Thanks for keeping me safe!! Love you guys!

I cannot believe that imposters exist. I was just a simple 95 Bravo. A long time ago and served with the 287th MP Company, Berlin Brigade. White hat garrison all the way. No Airborne, or Air Assault. Just a very simple soldier. 26 years later I retired from The North Carolina State Highway Patrol as a District Captain. I listened to every word. Thank you both for calling out a fake. Amazing. I left the Army as a simple SP4 in 1985. Way before you all were born. Nonetheless, quite a very interesting conversation you 2 had with a fake.

man, I wish I was in on that conversation. this guy.. really..

I moved a million times, and I know where my DD 214 is. and always will. lies, nothing but lies.

Stolen valors greatly hurt credibility of the real combat veterans. I'm glad that there's veterans that will call out these fakes.

Haha this is great to listen to. I mean I've been out for almost ten years now (CAF) and I can still remember my MOS, service number, date enlisted and date I got out. I was never even deployed or anything exciting like that, but it still sticks with me. Haha some things are drilled so far into you that it's impossible to forget.

Also in the green zone 2 years before we invaded? Come on.

I cannot STAND these frauds/liars, let's be clear... but if I hear another "let's see that DD 214" my head will explode.

I can't believe the way this phony spoke to you guys, who are Real servicemen. First, I've never heard Vets talk to other Vets like that, if they were legit. And this kid is posing as a phony when so many others served proudly? Makes me sick. And you were right when you said that this is Def something to be royally pissed about. Good for you. Thanks for serving.

So sorry you had to deal with this, You ran into the gamer version of Jeremey Dewitt.

It's extremely unfortunate that these kinds of people are free to roam around and make false claims. The internet makes it even worse simply because hiding behind a computer screen makes it even more of a challenge to crack down on it. Running a military simulation unit in a video game also seems to attract these people. I would honestly say that we have to deal with this a few times a month. Some get the idea that it's wrong right in the beginning, some have such believable stories (probably because they have been lying for years), however, it is always going to come back and bite them eventually. Their stories begin to change slowly over time, they get lost in their own lies, and dates usually never match up or change every time the story is told. The worst part about it all is that there is really no way to take action against these guys. It is protected under freedom of speech. All we can do as a unit is ban them from our servers and websites, and hope that they don't go lie somewhere else... People need to learn to respect veterans rather than play dress up and lie. Also, I never got any picture besides the squirrel with the AT4.. and his wife was nowhere to be found. This guy also runs a live stream and his false teeth fell out while he was live. Just added WTF status.

I was always hoping for a part 2 with this guy because it was a mixture of entertainment and annoyance that he couldn't even put in the time to properly research his bullshit. You know actually study. I'm guessing he didn't think we would catch on here and there that things weren't adding up. Personally I'm happy with my spot in the E-4 Mafia

I have a "non active" military id because of my dad, I can go to the px etc so the mil id is NOT confirmation :) unless there is a rank attatched

honestly people like him make me sick, i have not served my self. I am trying to get into the army and hope i get in. i play other games and i play with 5-10 vets daily and we had a guy like this come into our Team speak and say he was a SEAL and when a vet and I asked him about details like you did with this scum bag he came with the same replies.. needless to say he was perm banned from our TS. Thank You for your service, and to everyone that served.

Much respect for calling him out on BS my family is all Navy, Army. And 90% Marines I'm leaving for boot next year.

Go check out Don Shipley youtube channel, he has dedicated his time to expose stolen valor. I wish more people would do this :) Its great you upload this video Ranger79. Thx brother :)

Lol i dont have a clue where my DD-214 is. I haven't needed it in a long while (probably a handful of years) but i probably should look for it.

you guys bring up valid points. as soon as you said you had alot of copies of you DD214, i looked and i got 11 of them all over the house and scaned on the PC. the reason for 11 is because 1 is framed in the bedroom.

My dad had to get a copy of his dad’s discharge papers (the modern day DD214) bc in his old age gramps lost them. At the time, my dad worked out of the CNO’s office, and still I remember my dad having to write and to call and to pull strings to get those forms. At one point, dad said he might have to fly down to where they kept all DOD personnel records and get a power of attorney form. No one loses that form bc everyone in the military knows how fricking hard it is to get a copy.

Maybe this guy had an office job in the military, and wanted to hang with the cool kids of the military

Here's some great advice; If someone is wearing a Uniform that they bought, whether they are a, "fraud," or not, you have absolutely NO legal right to tell them to take it off or touch them or threaten them with bodily harm. They can press charges on you for assault, (or stalking, if you try following them,) and you'll most likely find yourself in the, "can." "Stolen Valor," only applies if they attempt to use their, "fake image," to receive services. Anything above that, you'll find yourself in hot water. (Make sure you actually know the Stolen Valor Act before you make the situation worse for yourself, especially.) And, DON'T lose your Military bearing on these guys. Call them out publicly if you want, but always keep your cool. You're the one actually representing the United States Military in the situation, so act like it. Show some restraint like the Soldier or Vet that you are. Don't act like the Police because you're NOT. Observe and report. And keep yourself out of jail. -MSG Forquet USA E-8 (ret.) 23 years active duty. 🇺🇲

Even if he can’t find his 214, he can still request a copy with the approved documentation that is required for a reissue. Also, I got out in ‘01, served 10 years. Yes, the Internet was around, but it had not reached the level it is now, where everything is digital. I scanned mine because I am notorious for losing things. ✌️

Holy shit! I know when I got every rank down to the month! This dude can't remember bases he's been to! This is horrible, I'm so glad you guys called him out. For that I thank you.

Regarding the CAC Card, you're actually NOT ALLOWED TO KEEP IT when you leave the Army (I still have mine anyways, due solely to the fact that I didn't have TIME to get to the MP station to turn mine IN when I was finaling out... and that was 2013.)

I served for 5 years and I have only met one guy personally who lied about being in the army. I let him ramble for 30mins before I exposed him. He said the same thing - 'I don't care if you don't believe me' . The thing is, I think he must have been saying all these lies for such a long time that he actually believed his own bullshit. He was/is a very sad man indeed. What I can never work out about imposters is why the hell didn't they just sign up and experience military life for real. They would never forget it, good or bad, and their lives would never be the same again. Take all imposters and send them to the latest war zone. They would soon work out if they were cut out for military.

I was stationed at Fort Hood in 1980-1981. We were 3rd Corps, consisting of the First Cav, the 2nd Armor Division, the 6th Aircav Brigade, and supporting units, making us equivalent to three divisions. The 4th ID has NEVER had units stationed at Fort Hood.

Alright, I get this is 8 years in the future, but I would never EVER show someone my DD-214 except a potential employer who REQUIRED it. The guy saying he has so many copies of his DD-214 came off as a little suspect, as did the guy who said employers need your 214 to verify honorable discharge. This is not true and hasn't been for MANY decades. If you get a Big Chicken Dinner or OTH, you WILL fail a background check because OSI will enter you in NCIC. It's the same as being a felon. While the guy is obviously lying about his service, nobody should have believed him in the first place. It was a little rough when the young guy said a VA card would be enough and then changed his mind when the faker showed one. Stolen valor doesn't hurt anyone (and isn't a crime) unless they get financial or material gain from it. I don't care about stolen valor as a vet, and seeing these young fellas getting so worked up about is kinda concerning.

Not sure I can agree with "lying to everyone doesn't hurt anyone." Especially in the context of lying to a group of what are supposedly actual vets in an attempt to impress them or whatever. Plus I don't see the point of adding that it's not a crime, as if that makes it okay socially.

A DD-214 is an important document that most rational thinking Veterans preserve and are able to present. With a legit DD-214 to verify service, Veterans in Tennessee can have a "Veteran" label applied to your personal driver's license.

What's up y'all? I'm going to say, nice job. I'm and Army vet, joined in 79 and was discharged 82. I will say that I have 1 copy of my DD 214 but I've when and had it register at city hall for save keeping. I didn't service in war time, but I'm still proud of my service. Most vets I had met don't like talking about what they did in war. Believe me, I've talked to a lot of them, mainly in my passion and activities I have been doing for the past 9 years. For the ones that was in combat you have my thanks and respect. But I think that you should have let homeboy off with a, you are lying and we know it, have a good live. I'm not condoning Stolen Valor. To me it's a cry for help. But to send so much time on given him what he wants don't make sense. People who do this is crying for attention, whether it's good or bad and y'all gave it to him, how he going to find the next vets to feed his addiction and that's all it is. If you had cut him off short he might have learned that it don't work no more and when on with his love. But nooo, he got what he wanted from y'all and now he's going to find the next ones to feed his ego, and y'all gave him the confidence that he can do it again, over and over. The best way to stop claims like that, is to shoot them down, Cold turkey. People like that get off on making others react the way they want them to, and y'all did just that. It was great that you read though his B.S., but y'all danced to his song the way he wanted you to from the start. You can do anything on the internet. From make false ID's to records. If you don't give them what they are craven, then you win. If you give into their whim, than they win. It's that simple, when you call them out, they alright have the accuse ready at hand. No matter how much you ask questions. They will have an answer for it. I can't find this or I tried to get it, but it's going to take.along time for them to get it. Longer then it will take anyone else, because I'm special. Not like the common folks like you. I have to ask, didn't y'all gear that in the way he was talking? I could tell in about the first 5 minutes with all of the causing and y'all trying to intimidate him. I hate to be the one to tell you, but you got played like a Xbox. It's good that you was able to catch him and the way you did was expected. The question was straight to the point. I listened until the end, which made it entertaining, but in the long run, he got over on you. You feel good about providing that he is a lair and fraud. That you can feel proud of you for a while. But did you think that he has been using this story long before you met him, and he is going to use it on the next victim. So on, and so on until it's not longer useful. I'm not knocking you for showing the world what he's doing. I'm just saying that when you had him with his pants around his ankles like a jon get a good Blow job from a callgirl in a back street , just before he's about to gym. She stop, stands up and walks away, with he wallet in her hand , with all his cash and car keys. That would have really made him look like the douchebag that he is. You know, I wouldn't be surprised that when all was said and done. He was laughing his ass off. Having a great time making y'all do what he know would do, because most likely, y'all was not the first, nor you will not be the last. Oh well, I just had to say something about this. I see it at every event I go to and I heard most of the ones that said that they won the war all by himself, and when it comes to being a warrior. He will make Rambo look like a altar boy. Y'all did good showing him for what he is. It's just that he got to best out of the deal. Because he wasn't upset when you finally let him go. That line at the end, I have to take care of some family business. It aS because, y'all wasn't fun for him No more and at was time to go fishing for a new fish to play with. I sorry if I hurt your pride and all. But I has the be that voice of experience and dealing with the public for a few decades. That just wanted you to see what had happened and learn what to look for in the future. Don't take a car for the way it sounds or look. Always questions it first then test it out before letting in your world. That going for everyone and everything. Don't take it at face value. Because everything that looks good, don't means it's good for you. I've wished someone would have told me that, 3 marriages, 4 children, 3 babies mom as with the drama, and countless of mistakes. I've might have made them swallow instead. I wish y'all the best and keep it moving forward, don't look back, you can't change it anyway.

I just don't know why that dragged on for so long. You either have a DD-214 or you don't. I'm not in the military, never been in the military, but I know you're supposed to have that if you've been in the military. He obviously didn't so my stance "don't talk to me until you do." End of story, I got somewhere to be.
