Marine phony facing 10 years

Toothless Dawg sends us a link to Inside Nova which reports that 29-year-old James M. Johnson of Roxboro, N.C. pleaded guilty to impersonating a Marine on dating websites and tried to entice and coerce women into sending racy photos;

When the women refused, Johnson threatened to harm the women or their children or to post altered photographs of the women on pornographic websites, the news release said.

Johnson told [one] woman that he would “slit [her] throat and send his friends to kill [her],” court documents state.

Yeah, it’s a jungle out there. Mary sends us the names of a couple of Army guys every week from distressed women who met guys online. Of course, they’re all Rangers or Delta or something top secret.

    As Chuck Barkley would say “people are turrible”.

    From the source article: ‘he sometimes used the screen name “Cuddleman.”’

    Enough said.

    “cuddleman”?! Definitely an atypical Marine…

    Time to break out the “Tidy Bowl”…

    I was a 19D. does that mean I can tell chicks (or broads to use the more PC term) that I was Delta?

    @8. If you are part of the new “PC” Army…sure, why not?

    Have we really come to this as a nation? Not that it justifies his skuzworthiness in the slightest, but if women are not having good luck meeting men face to face, why would they think they’d have a better experience in cyberspace?

    How utterly disgusting.

    Soooo. . . This “person” (and I use the term loosely) wants to pretend to be a Marine??
    Well, I hope he meets a couple of the real thing soon, in a back room wall-to-wall counceling session.

    Let them continue to be Delta, Ranger, SEAL. It makes it easier to spot them. If they were really slick they would just be a grunt or cav scout since that is more believable. Hopefully I didn’t give the scum any ideas.

    Anybody who claims to be a former AFSOC guy (Combat Controller & Pararescue )will get a blank stare from general public. Just don’t have same name recognition or Hollywood cache as units mentioned above.
