Looking to invite a phony here to be a “chew toy”? As soon as a post goes up, outing a phony, someone is bound to comment on that phony’s Facebook page… If such a page is available.<\/p>\n
Many people follow suit with their own posts. It’s not long before that phony’s posts grow with responses containing links to Military Phonies or to This Aint Hell.<\/p>\n
Some mention a statement or two in their posts in addition to providing the links. Many, understandably, voice a strong statement challenging the phony to come over. But, most phonies stay away from this site.<\/p>\n
Readers, armed with knowledge gleaned from the stolen valor post, go over to the phony’s social media account. Our side is armed with the facts, but the phony’s friends are a different story. They give the phony the benefit of the doubt.<\/p>\n
They may think that veterans, and their allies, are simply being rear ends. In one instance, they were described as ‘disrespectful’. In their eyes, the phony becomes the underdog. They give him the benefit of the doubt and their sympathy.<\/p>\n
In their minds, we are just strangers, trolls, nobodies, etc. Consequently, many of the phony’s friends skip clicking on the links as they do not want to see the full stolen valor post.<\/p>\n
They don’t care to see what all the bruhaha about their hero is about. Given the aggressive nature of some of the veteran responses to the phonies, many phonies suspect that a battle awaits them.<\/p>\n
Others know, very well, that real veterans stand ready to subject them to a blistering fact check scrutiny.<\/p>\n
A different approach could be used to give the phony a sense of being able to “argue their case”.<\/p>\n
Steps…<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The first one or two sentences should mention the facts surrounding the phony’s claims. The next one or two sentences should seek clarity from the phony.<\/p>\n For example, let’s say we have a phony that claims to be a veteran of one of the SEAL teams, and that he held the rank of “major”.<\/p>\n He bragged about serving in Lebanon, Grenada, the Gulf War, Haiti, Somalia, former Yugoslavia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He also claims to be one of those who battled the terrorists during the Benghazi attacks.<\/p>\n We get a post showing that this individual was not in the Navy. Instead, he attempted to serve in the Army and did not make it past Basic Combat Training. The individual in this example received a discharge with just weeks of service.<\/p>\n So, how could we generate a post that would at least be read if people do not click on the links?<\/p>\n We could start by mentioning that the phony did not serve in the Navy. He was not a SEAL, major, nor did he serve in Lebanon, Grenada, Gulf War, Haiti, Somalia, former Yugoslavia, etc.<\/p>\n Here is an example of something that could be posted. The phony’s name in this scenario is “John Doe”:<\/p>\n According to official documentation reviewed by Military Phonies and This Aint Hell, John Doe was not a SEAL, is not a war veteran, and he did not complete basic training. Additionally, official military records show that John Doe did not deploy to any of these places; Lebanon, Grenada, the Gulf War, Haiti, Somalia, former Yugoslavia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n Now official documentation may not be complete, and John Doe may possess relevant documentation explaining the site’s conflict with his statements. The website link below has both a comments section. John Doe could also provide relevant missing documentation to the email provided on the contact page.<\/p>\n We look forward to John Doe coming over to explain these differences between his history and what’s listed in the linked site:<\/p>\n [Link to Valor Guardians]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n If Facebook truncates a part of the message, at least the first paragraph would be seen. This is where the biggest claims are countered. The preview to the linked website would also be available.<\/p>\n So, even if the reader doesn’t click on the link, he or she will see a statement contradicting the phony’s claims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
