Bryan H Austin; sicko phony

Ken sent us a link to POW Network’s post about Bryan H Austin, who was apparently flaunting his phony finery in Milwaukee Mitchell airport, wearing an Army ACUs uniform with Lieutenant Colonel rank, a special forces tab, as well as 82d and 101st unit patches. Apparently someone confronted him for ID and when he couldn’t produce any, he was taken into custody. It looks like he was using the stuff to get discounts and free stuff from well-meaning folks.

POW Network says that he also used his phony stories to move in with women and leach off of them until they toss his ass out. I don’t understand that. I have real stories that never got me laid, how do these phonies do that? But I never wore ACUs in the airport – with LTC rank.

But, apparently, after the authorities arrested him for the fraud attached to the uniform, they searched his computer and found 11 pictures to charge him with “Capture an Image of Nudity“, whatever that means.

I’m sure this will trigger a bunch of “I know that guy” comments when the post hits the search engines.

  1. Today on my show I want to talk about HATE. We all need to be a little nicer here for starters. Can we work on that?

  2. Stumpy Joe is not Bryan, nor a relative, just a concerned party that needs to stick up for the underdog in a rather combative environment. 

    I agree that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, you included Anonymous.  

    It can be difficult to interpret the true intention behind the words in this forum, with the bellicose and hostile tone exhibited by many of the participants in this arena.

    Sorry for the misinterpretation. Glad it is not a threat, just a product of your opining. 

    Have a great weekend!

  3. Keep in mind the “underdog” here has done so much harm to so many people – emotionally, mentally, physically and financially – through his intentional and thoroughly plotted manipulations. He has zeroed in on people’s natural goodness and trust and used that to his advantage to get sympathy, money, emotional support and as a “military officer,” free meals, free gas and so much more. He has destroyed relationships, marriages, friendships and many people’s self-worth for having been caught in his web of lies. Who lies about having a terminal disease and lets people pray for him? Who lies about going to work wearing a fake uniform? Who lies about the circumstances of his daughter? About people failing to be there when he was supposedly in the hospital dying? Who lies about his mother’s death? Who lies about having been significantly injured during active duty that didn’t exist? Yep, you got it, the man of the hour who is innocent. I saw it, I heard it and I lived it, and he is guilty of what he’s facing in the courts but that’s JUST the tip of the iceberg.

  4. unreal, we know your not innocent either here. But since I’m a doctor there is hope for you too.

  5. I’ve thought plenty about this. Yes, there is forgiveness or life cannot be fully lived again. BUT there is also accountability and consequences for actions that were repeatedly, methodically, habitually, purposefully executed with full awareness to the detriment of numerous people.

  6. Turd, you must really be watching these posts as you pop up after evey entry I make.

    Your lack of a life, not mine there, Bryan. Enjoy it while you can. The door is about to close.

    I have offered help. It is up to you to take it. Go see “Ranger” Burrell. He may be able to help.

    You are without a doubt the definition of “Weak Sauce”.

    Good luck in life. Now, go away.

    Turd.

  7. Green Thumb, I told everyone that we have to be nice here. You sure hung on the word “Turd”. Do you have one coming out, or do you need some toilet paper maybe?

  8. @217.

    Another one. Wow. When it rains, it pours.

    Nice? Really? Are you condoning LTC BH Austin’s actions, fakery and behavior?

    Very simple, “Dr. Phil”.

    Please, address the question, if you will.

    Be honest.

  9. Well, I am not here for Bryan, I am here to help you with your anger issues. Your problems are very serious due to your lack of brain skills.

  10. Ducking the question, poser.

    Tell Bryan he should not have lied and screwed all of those people.

    Stolen Valor is a crime.

    Clown.

    Out.

    I understand and believe what you say about accountability and consequences for our actions. Regardless of holding someone accountable for their actions, there are always consequences, though they may not be immediate.

    I am not sure that a discussion in an obscure online forum is going to really hold anyone accountable.

    At best it seems to be a form of cheap therapy for those involved, me included. How do we even know if Austin is watching this?

    As others have stated in the comments this is a place of opinion from people that are somehow interested or connected to Austin and/or his case. It is really nothing more than a group of people running their mouths off. Many involved have an illusion that this discussion is somehow holding Austin accountable. The comments are showing a few concerned people among a sea of idiots.

    I really don’t see how this discussion has a large effect on Austin’s life, nor do I have any suggestions on how to truly hold him accountable to the stated accusations.

  12. Yet, Stumpy, you continue to participate in the discussion….”running [your] mouth off” with the rest of us in our “sea of idiots.” Please tell me you can see the irony in that?

  13. @224.

    He does, does he not?

    Odd that he went from defending BHA to saying this conversation is not relevant.

    Well, Stumpy, it is. We are spreading the word so that LTC BH Austin does not hurt anyone again or steal valor.

    Maybe if it was you he took the pics of then you may feel differently.

    Also, just use one screen name in the future. It is easier.

    Tell LTC BH Austin good luck!

  14. @ 224 …

    I just looked in my reference manual “Naval Terms and Phrases”.

    I did not see the term or phrase “sea of idiots.”

    Please splain!

    @ Dr, Phil … get a hair cut!

  15. All I see in here are a bunch of sea goin’ snitches on this site. All you people on here are a sham! What kind of show are you really putting on here? All you people due is hurt people and sit around thinking it right. Well Hondo, Green Thumb, Tiger5, wherever you are out there, FUCK YOU, too!

  16. No I do not endorse them. But we should be helping people that can’t help themselves.

  17. @234.

    I agree we should help people. However, we should help those that wish to be helped.

    He has been in the store helping himself to all kinds of things. Now it would appear that he is in the check out line.

    Time to pay up and I have a feeling that where he is going they do not take American Express.

    Know what I mean?

    “LTC” BH Austin knew what he was doing. A man must take responsibility for his actions.

  18. @FrankSlade:

    I hate to tell you this, but you’re not the first person who’s told me to fuck myself, and you’re probably not going to be the last, so I hope you weren’t planning on hurting my feelings with that one.

    And I’d disagree with your characterization that we’re all “sea goin’ snitches” – I was actually a ground-pounder and don’t quite see telling the truth about crimes committed by a degenerate oxygen thief as “snitching” – especially when I’m not trying to cut a deal or get anything out of it other than the satisfaction that the truth is being told.

    And if telling the truth hurts Bryan…that’s too fucking bad. My dad was probably on to something when he taught us the following “If you don’t want to be called a liar, don’t lie.” Well, if Bryan doesn’t like being called a pathetic, oxygen-thief, well…maybe he shouldn’t have acted like one, huh?

  19. I am not a psychologist/psychiatrist/MD/anything like that, but ever hear of the HARE PCL checklist? It’s interesting as an assessment tool for psychopathy:

    Factor 1: Personality “Aggressive narcissism”:

    Glibness/superficial charm
    Grandiose sense of self-worth
    Pathological lying
    Cunning/manipulative
    Lack of remorse or guilt
    Shallow affect (genuine emotion is short-lived and egocentric)
    Callousness; lack of empathy
    Failure to accept responsibility for own actions

    Factor 2: Case history “Socially deviant lifestyle”:

    Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom
    Parasitic lifestyle
    Poor behavioral control
    Lack of realistic long-term goals
    Impulsivity
    Irresponsibility
    Juvenile delinquency
    Early behavior problems
    Revocation of conditional release

    Traits not correlated with either factor:

    Promiscuous sexual behavior
    Many short-term (marital) relationships
    Criminal versatility
    Acquired behavioural sociopathy/sociological conditioning

    How many of the phonies fit a large part of this? How many of them have conned others to help/stick up for them (Frank Slade, Stumpy Joe….)? This assumes they are not, in fact, Austin himself.

    Fascinating.

  20. It might be different if he had a SINCERE sense of remorse for his mistakes. But he repeats them over and over with different people and doesn’t have a sense of remorse. Oh, like everything else, he can talk the talk but those in the know see through it.

    He keeps doing whatever he wants for his own benefit, over and over, to the disregard to others’ well-being. He’s is an expert at manipulating and destroying people – he gets an A+. And it’s bad enough he’s done it to adults, but to innocent children? Substantiate that one.

  21. Wow, Virtual Insanity, you are anything but insane. That list is a shocking list of Bryan’s characteristics. If you look up the definition of sociopathic behaviors, you’ll see him in those characteristics, too.

    10 signs for spotting a sociopath

    #1) Sociopaths are charming. Sociopaths have high charisma and tend to attract a following just because people want to be around them. They have a “glow” about them that attracts people who typically seek guidance or direction.

    #2) Sociopaths are more spontaneous and intense than other people. They tend to do bizarre, sometimes erratic things that most regular people wouldn’t do. They are unbound by normal social contracts. Their behavior often seems irrational or extremely risky.

    #3) Sociopaths are incapable of feeling shame, guilt or remorse. This allows them to betray people, threaten people or harm people without giving it a second thought. They pursue any action that serves their own self interest even if it seriously harms others.

    #4) Sociopaths invent outrageous lies about their experiences. They wildly exaggerate things to the point of absurdity, but when they describe it to you in a storytelling format, for some reason it sounds believable at the time.

    #5) Sociopaths seek to dominate others and “win” at all costs. They hate to lose any argument or fight and will viciously defend their web of lies, even to the point of logical absurdity.

    #6) Sociopaths tend to be highly intelligent, but they use their brainpower to deceive others rather than empower them.

    #7) Sociopaths are incapable of love and are entirely self-serving. They may feign love or compassion in order to get what they want, but they don’t actually FEEL love in the way that you or I do.

    #8) Sociopaths speak poetically. They are master wordsmiths, able to deliver a running “stream of consciousness” monologue that is both intriguing and hypnotic. They are expert storytellers and even poets.

    #9) Sociopaths never apologize. They are never wrong. They never feel guilt. They can never apologize. Even if shown proof that they were wrong, they will refuse to apologize and instead go on the attack.

    #10) Sociopaths are delusional and literally believe that what they say becomes truth merely because they say it!

  22. Bottom line is this: This turd, “LTC” BH Austin is about to get some butt sauce from a butt sausage.

    Rock on, sir.

  23. #243- usually to try and defend some valor stealing scumbag lowlife scam artist. But the regulars try to set them right.

  24. I hope you all know that Stumpy Jo is actual bryan, i ran a check on the blog and it goes right back to his computer

  25. @226.

    Poser, you are about to get some love and I have a feeling that you are going to hate it. For a while.

    Ass Clown.(no pun intended)

  26. Hey LouAnn, I am bringing several MP’s who are friends of mine and we are talking to the Judge Advocate on jurisdiction for this stolen valor offender.

  27. Looks like you all are a bunch of lawbreaking idiots, too. I pulled the Wisconsin statutes on Cyber Bullying because that’s where Austin’s case is.

    You all have to be crazy to think that this conversation is going unwatched by the authorities.

    You would even be crazier to think that the authorities are sitting idle on the threats that have been demonstrated in this forum.

    I would advise you all to stop this cyber bullying immediately!

    Nice try Jeanne M. you have been caught in a lie. I am not Bryan Austin nor do I intend to pretend that I am.
