Category: Phony soldiers

An anonymous reader sent us this last night, and I couldn’t help but post it to get your eyeballs calibrated this morning. If only all of our pretenders looked like this;

This is Tiffany Ginger, a professional model on the TV show, Sweet Home Alabama who claims to be a sergeant in the Army Reserve;

However, AKO says she’s a Specialist, not a sergeant. I’ve redacted her contact information because I know you pre-verts would harass the living shit out of her;

Yeah, I was shocked that was her real name, too. On the upside, the rest of her looks real.

Do you know what you’re looking at there? I’ll let the guy holding the hat tell you;

I was on a 14 hour patrol and we decided to take just a quick break, get our bearing. Someone had the great idea of dismounting from the vehicles, so we were on foot. The unit I’m with doesn’t take things too serious when we don’t have to, so taking off helmets is acceptable, especially if it’s just to scratch your head or splash some water on your face. The sun was right on me, so I threw on my lucky RT hat. I normally pull my hat down all the way, but for some reason, this time I had a little bit of space between my head and the hat. That space saved my life.
I set my weapon down, right next to me and I had just sat down when what I thought was a gust of wind took my hat right off my head. Turns out, a 7.62mm round shot my hat off. So, with one hand, I’m reaching for my weapon. With the other hand, I’m reaching for my RT hat, which got shot again, this time blowing a hole straight through it. The second bullet also happened to graze my arm, still have the scar…
So, my team is calm and collected and we did indeed waste the entire hill/mini-mountain we assumed the sniper was hiding. No further shots were fired from either side and no one else was injured. Hell, I wasn’t even injured. Just a little scratch…

Yup, that’s supposedly the hole created by two 7.62mm x 39mm bullets that this douchenozzle claims his hat received while sitting on his obviously empty brain-housing group. Them’s some pretty big bullets, ain’t they?

One of the folks here who calls himself John, tracked the dude through his gaming IDs. Apparently, his name is PFC Andrew Santee and he’s a reservist in a Texas Psyops Company, says AKO and according to people who know him, he’s never deployed. If he had, he’d probably know that 7.62 bullets only make 7.62mm holes, like the holes John made in his own cap with an AK;

John adds: Also, he claims he thought it was a gust of wind. Not sure what the mythological sniper was shooting, but every bullet that came close to me made a nice loud crack, and I damn sure didn’t mistake it for a gust of wind.

Yeah, that hole looks bigger than two 25mm holes. But, according to his Rooster Teeth profile, the story did what he’d hoped and scored him some chickies’ email addresses.

Jonn Added 1-26-12: There’s another Andrew Santee who is a USMA Cadet, they are two separate and different people.

86-year-old Utahan Myron Brown who duped his Congressman into awarding him a stack of phony medals for his service in Korea and was busted by our buddy, Doug Sterner, is now staring down the barrel of an investigation by the Feds, according to the Utah News;

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, also plans to call a congressional hearing on “stolen valor” cases and the difficulty in verifying military honors since the Pentagon keeps no official list.

“Others have been burned by this. I have too, but I want to solve the problem,” he said.

Oh, so Chaffetz is admitting that he’s a victim of this victimless crime?

Chaffetz said at that time that he wanted a letter from the Pentagon definitively stating that Brown’s documents were fakes before he would denounce the medals and take action.

Oh, well, there you go – Chaffetz was perfectly willing to believe Brown and conduct the photo opportunity despite evidence that would have saved him the trouble he’s experiencing now.

We all want to believe these guys, in fact, I proudly wrote about Myron before we got evidence to the contrary, before we even knew there was a problem, but it seems that the people at the center of the awards ceremony and it’s controversy could have delayed the ceremony until all of the evidence was in instead of rushing ahead with it.

Efrain sends us a link to a Facebook profile of Mike Kronos, who claims to be a Special Forces major. I know he looks like he’s 12, but he figures it’s plausible, I guess.

Apparently, he owns like 10 cars, all top end, ya know because majors make so much money that they can buy Ferraris and Hummers like candy. he also boasts of quite an arsenal of weapons…again all of that disposable income for majors.

Efrain says that he first became aware of mighty Major Mike when he began screwing around on the forum at our buddies at Terminal Lance. So Efrain called on us and the first place I go is Army Knowledge Online which can find the accounts of everyone in the Army, well, except our new pal, Major Mike;

Yeah, i know my address is in the screen shot, but I don’t have anything to hide, well, except that the Army still spells my name wrong. Which probably actually means that I spell my name wrong.

I’m disappointed that he’s not a phony Ranger, and you 1st Cav folks are probably disappointed the didn’t fake go to combat with your unit, too, but that’s the way this one shakes out.

According to the pictures on Facebook, he even has crappy taste in cigars, preferring Cohibas to the better-tasting medium strength cigars like Partagas or La Gloria Cubana. That’s what tipped me off at first…only pretenders smoke Cohibas.

I know we’ve been light on posers lately, but I have several waiting on FOIAs, so keep tuning in.

POW Network writes to warn us that fatass Mikey “The Tub” Frisoli is on the legal war path;

You can Google your ass off, but you won’t find the law office. And the lawyer’s name is Barry Goldman, but the email is from a John Smith. And the law office is so cheap that they can’t get their own domain for email; <;goldmansarnolaw@yahoo.com>. Even I got free email domains with my blog.

I’m pretty sure that a lawyer would REALLY want to deal with a prospective target in the real world rather than in email. And ALL CAPS? Really? And this is that physical address, says Google Earth;

It’s no wonder that Frisoli knows the address, though.

This the information that is misleading at POW Network; it’s all links to newspaper articles. I guess it’s easier to try and frighten us little guys than to take on the mighty media, huh?

Frisoli, tell your lawyer that the line for lawsuits against TAH forms every Tuesday morning at the Mineral County courthouse at 9am sharp. Get there early. And there’s no Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks in Keyser, WV, so bring your own munchies.

Our buddies at the Facebook Stolen Valor page sends us this doozy, Jasper Land Holland. The above picture is supposed to be Colonel Holland upon the occasion of his retirement at Fort Benning.

I know that mustache is completely within the regs, colonels don’t have to worry about how they roll their sleeves and they can’t afford t-shirts, but the flag that he stuck on the wall of his trailer behind him doesn’t look like any other military portrait I’ve ever seen. The Korean woman who sewed on his Jungle Expert patch put it on the wrong pocket.

And I think his beret says “You’re pizza is ready, sir”.

I don’t know how Jasper found the time to be a Special Forces colonel what with all of the time he spent in prison. He’s served time for bigamy and for weapons possession as a felon from what our friends sent us.

I found this on a genealogical website written by members of his own family;

Thank you for your e-mail concerning Jasper. I have a two inch thick file on him. I began investigating him in 2003 after I saw some outrageous claims he made about being a retired Army Colonel, a Reverend, a Doctor with a degree from VMI and an Attorney with a law degree from the Antioch school of law here in DC.

I could look over those wild claims about himself but when he started forging Civil War letters, creating false genealogical lines, making up sources, forging wills while trying to peddle his CD to unsuspecting Holland researchers, primarily elderly women etc etc, I had enough.

I had hoped he would stop trying to run his genealogical scams when he was released from prison in August of 2006, but like a bad penny, he keeps popping up. I can assure you he never had ANY published works just like he never HAD a son who was beheaded in Bosnia in 1994. I appreciate the heads up on “Gabe” as he likes to be called but I am totally familiar with that poor excuse for a human being.—- JC

Hello. I saw your posting on rootsweb.com to Jasper Land Holland about his lying and fraud in telling the real story of the Holland family. I am related to this individual and unfortunately know him personally. From one decent Holland to another, please do not believe a single word this man has to say. Of all the years I’ve known him, everything that flows from his lips and in this case fingertips, is a full blown lie. He has stolen from our family, lied, threatened his ex wife and that’s just to name a few things.

He does have a book that he claims was a published product. However, I have a copy of this book and in it is even more crazy outrageous lies. There are many mispelled words and such which leads me to believe that he “published” this book on his own from a computer. Just wanted to give you the heads up. None of the members of our part of the Holland family will have anything to do with him.

We first wrote about David Stump a year ago last August when he was first buried in a Chicago area cemetery. His obituary said that he made about 50 parachute jumps behind enemy lines in Vietnam. Anyone with a passing knowledge of that war knows that there were no enemy lines to jump behind.

Well, it seems that the Department of Veterans’ Affairs arrived at the same conclusions that we did over a year ago and since the family couldn’t justify the Bronze Star Medal and three Purple Hearts listed on his head stone, there’ll be a new stone placed according to the Chicago Tribune;

Cemetery officials gave the family about four months to provide documents supporting the Bronze Star and Purple Hearts. The family showed a Tribune reporter yellowing documents, but they never provided clear evidence to satisfy officials at the federal cemetery.

“I find all this awful hard to believe,” said Stump’s widow, Geri. “Where would he get these records from?”

But stolen valor is a victimless crime, well except for the family whose last memory of their departed father and husband is the fact that he was a liar most of his life.
