Mark sends us a link to this General Joshua Anggoh Lee, and he seems totally legit to me including his Bronze Star Medal citation;
His bio looks to be totally legit, too;
I wonder why I can’t find him on the DoD Flag Officers Roster. And why isn’t he Commandant of the Marine Corps?
His ribbons seem to be in order, so he’s got that going for him, which is nice…
I’m really waiting for some 30-year-old twerp to claim that he was up there in the clouds at Khe Sanh.
@48 O-4E
Don’t mind me, I’m just holding everyone accountable for their claims be it bullshit and in most cases STOLEN… or true, also because jack-offs like this are reasons why we still need skull-fucking in our military… SIR
@ 2/16
At least he picked a damn fine man to pose on
@ 54
Affirmative, I bet he thought he wouldn’t get caught though SIR. I will say I’m sure he picked General Pace because he is no longer on active duty. Just wait about 4 to 8 years from now someone will traipse around sporting a Mad Dog Mattis ribbon rack SIR.
This guy makes even third world dictators laugh
He’s wearing four stars, but he’s definitely a five-star shit-for-brains!
@19 he is from Malaysia. Where he currently lives and resides. No idea what type of scam he is trying to pull off, if any… may just be his idea of being fanboi… See these fuckers often on facebook, most of the time they are air softers, Call of Duty kiddies. All his “military” photos are photoshopped, with his head pasted in on someone elses uniform.
TOTALLY LEGIT:
Asians can counterfeit anything, include a high quality military career.
FB page down, looks like our four-star general hit the fence.
@60 It’s still up. Guy has a telletubby fetish or something to boot…
@14 Sparky, he has the Defense Distinguished Service Medal (with either 2 or 3 Oak Leaf clusters, it’s hard to tell), the Defense Superior Service Medal, and the Legion of Merit.
We ought to give him a little credit, all the ribbons appear to be in the proper order, and the devices seem to be appropraite for the ribbons they’re on (I know a whole lot more about Army and Defense awards than I do Navy/MC/AF awards). If you’re going to be a fake, at least, by God, do it by the regulation.
He also has a National Defense Service Medal with two bronze stars, and the Global War on Terror Service Medal. So in answer to the question “why isn’t he Commandant of the Corps,” it’s obvious–he sat out the last two wars as a REMF. Which, of course, also means it would be impossible for him to have earned a Bronze Star Medal, especially from MARCENT, whose commander signed the certificate.
I am leaning towards the Photoshop route on this one… though my brief image search only found Gen Pace in the black uniform with the belt across the chest (his dress uniform? Not a Marine, so not sure of proper nomenclature) wearing actual medals instead of ribbons. But as pointed out above, that seems to be his rack.

Found it. I believe he stole the uniform image from uniforms-4u.com and shopped his head and blue background onto it.

@64 Geet..
*golf clap*
And further examination shows that the ribbon rack is not identical to Gen Pace’s, at least past the sixth row or so…
@64! DING. DING. DING. We have a winner! Yes, that’s it. Great catch. When I double clicked on the image above, after reading your comment and looking at the uniform, one can clearly see the white edge around knucklehead’s neck where he affixed his heard to the uniform.
@67 – Second that. It’s a poor, sloppy job of P’shopping.
I’ve done it myself, to put two or three images together to make one, and the most important thing is to not leave a trace.
This guy is not only a fake, he’s a klutzhammer.
I’m surprised he actually trimmed out the watermark on the original . . .
