No fuss, no muss, just go vote while I head to the airshow.

Pictures from The Sniper.

Greetings from Appleton Wisconsin, where I am about to go to the air show.

John Giduck

John Giduck is a walking shovel-ready project manager for defense attorneys. He originally filed suit because they disparaged his book, “Terror at Beslan”. The problem is, the book says the Author, our boy Giduck, is a Special Forces trained super soldier with time in the Spetsnaz as well, who was in Beslan when the school shootings went on. Turns out he has 50 some odd days in the military before being invited to seek other occupational opportunities, and he was cuddled up to a teddy bear when Beslan was going down. Even his own book now has a disclaimer that essentially says “Yeah, all the shit in here is wrong, it was my publishers fault.”

There’s so much crazy shit with this dude, it’s best to just peruse Truth About Socnet Lies that’s the recipient of some of Giduck’s money by way of the judicial process and a redonkulous defamation suit.

Shane Ladner

Ladner’s fake military career started before he even finished taking his SATs in High School when he was allegedly earning a purple heart during street to street fighting in panama.  He was apparently armed only with a #2 pencil and a bullshit story, because the army has no record of his participation.  But, somehow he pencil whipped himself up a Purple Heart, and a trip to Iraq.  These two things resulted in him getting invited to a parade and charity hunt down in Texas, where he and his wife got hit by a train riding on the float.  She lost her leg, he lost any credibility that he once had.  The police department fired him, and sued him based on the Purple Heart plates he had.  Undeterred  Ladner created a new story as a coca fighting renegade in Central America.  This one was better, but still not good.  His poor lawyer is running around looking for records from a non-existent medical facility that will show that Shane got shot at some point.  And meanwhile his wife is still missing her leg.  He’s gone to ground mostly for now, but like Punxsatawney Phil he emerges every couple of months to see his shadow, proclaim the records will be found, and then leaving it up to his lawyer to explain it.

Chelle Tesla

 

It’s hard to know exactly where to start on this dim bulb. At one point she was a major in the Civil Air Patrol in Virginia and assigned to HQ, VA Wing as Director of Aerospace Education. She got that job because she represented herself as combat-wounded Army Aviation Captain, and a UH-60 Blackhawk pilot.  Her records say she was a PFC Air Traffic Controller, and who you going to believe?  This piece of work here, or your lying eyes?  She claims that she earned a Purple Heart when her Blackhawk was shot down in Iraq and, of course, because of that incident she claims she suffers from TBI and PTS. but, as her records show, she’s never been to Iraq.   She was kind enough to go on TV which allowed Jonn to meet the hot reporter lady, but that doesn’t mitigate all her crimes.   There’s also some weird shit involving a military husband, but honestly I couldn’t quit figure out what they were talking about.

Phil Monkress

Star of the drunk driving court system and hero to fake SEALs everywhere, Monkress’ name should be known to you by now.  Owner of All Points Logistics, this go-getter drummed up millions of dollars in tax money by hawking his military and American Indian owned company.  He claimed in numerous promotional and training documents to have been a member of SEAL Team IV.  He even talked in a video about how he had to tell his Dad that he was joining the SEALs.   When that all failed and Lilyea called him out on it, he dressed himself like the Indian dude in Predator and stood on the log waiting to save everyone.  Or, maybe he just called up his lawyers and minions and sic’d them on us.  Since the day we called him out we’ve had nothing but trouble, which presumably is meant to scare us off.  It’s not working.  Hell, I’ve even got a nice letter into the Boeing Ethics Officer on some of Monkresses problems.  Kind of hard to claim that you never lied about being a Navy SEAL when we have you on video tape doing it, introduced by an employee of Boeing stressing the point.  Oh, and by the way, he’s 3/128 Cherokee, which is roughly as much as my puggle.

 

So, who will be out last two in the 2013 Stolen Valor Tournament?  You decide, I report.  For more info:

John “Attorney’s fees” Giduck

Shane “High School to Panama” Ladner

Chelle Lynne “ATC/CNO/CAP” Anderson-Tesla

Phillip Dale “Monkeyass” Monkress

Everyone brace for the Ranger Up-alanche. Stay calm….

TAH is proud to join First Sergeant in “Most Definately” approving this request.

Starts on Monday. Hoping for some Sniper photoshops, and all new (more explanatory) bios.

From CHIP:

As many of you know, I spent about 2 weeks running around with PJ’s earlier this year in Arizona and New Mexico. One night when we were out imbibing a few adult beverages I talked to one of the senior NCO’s about their job and the kind of men they were looking for. He said something that stuck with me:

Unlike the other Special Ops units, we don’t measure success in the number of enemy lives taken, we measure success in terms of the number of friendly lives we save.

Which is not to say that PJ’s don’t bring the mayhem when it is needed. Just look at the various silver stars and other medals they’ve earned. But their primary task, their raison d’être if you will, is getting folks out alive. And they are amazing at it. The training these guys go through is pretty sick. And they may have the easy cockiness of most the special ops guys I’ve been around, but they really are fundamentally a different group of people. I would hazard a guess that the number of people who know what green berets or “SEAL Team 6” is probably dwarfs the number who know what PJ’s do by orders of magnitude.

Anyway, one of our readers forwarded this video. It matches nicely what I have been reasearching, although it only briefly mentions the August ’43 jump to rescue a bunch of folks, including CBS reporter Eric Sevareid. I actually have his book sitting right here, and he says of the PJs:

Gallant is a precious word: they deserve it.

Here’s the video:

Our emailer adds:

There was a mention in one of the threads about a video about USAF PJs; this video is now in a Competition (see link below). I know that the PJ who did this and he is staying low and does not know (yet) that I am requesting this. But this is something that most of the people who come to TAH should like and want to vote on. If they can vote for the POS in the SV they should be able to vote for someone who not only did serve as a PJ and retired, but continues to help and serve the PJ community.

So, please get this to TAH and remember if you can stuff the box (ballot) for a POS you should want to stuff this box also. And no “shots” are needed after stuffing this box.

Our existence at TAH is predicated on two things, which are inter-related. Make the jackwagons who lie about their service famous, but also make those who have earned the fame even more famous. Getting out the story of what we did when we served, and what our brothers did is more than just a mission, I would argue it is the responsibility of every man and woman who served, or who honors in any way those who did.

So please go vote on this. This is the kind of film making we should venerate and reward. If the only ones telling their stories are the downtrodden chairborne rangers with tales of discontent, we lose as a country and as veterans.

You have until noon, and not a second more, as it will take me damn near forever to audit the results.

Vote:

Ok you butt heads, stop spamming the results as it takes me a ton of time to weed through the illegal votes. It’s fine to vote numerous times from different places, but when I see the same IP voting the exact same way 10-15 times, I have to go in an delete them. It’s pretty pbvious who tried to spam it. Kindly stop it.

Now vote:

With over 1,000 votes cast so far, the margin is currently 4 votes.

So yes, every vote counts.
