Well, it turns out he was actually in the Army, he even did a year in Vietnam driving landing craft, apparently. But his service was from January 1966 – December 1968, and he left the Army as a Private First Class. His records show no awards beyond the three medals everyone got for going to Vietnam. It appears that he isn’t even authorized to wear the Good Conduct Medal. Well, here’s his Form 2-1;<\/p>\n

Quite bit different from what he’s sporting;<\/p>\n

So, here’s his Freedom of Information Act information;<\/p>\n

Like I told someone in an email, I really hate to do this to the guy because he is a Vietnam veteran and he served honorably at a crucial time when America needed men like him to step up – he volunteered in the time of a draft and still went to Vietnam. But, damn! A General, a Silver Star? Aviator wings? That CIB really pisses me off, too. So all of this guy’s stuff is going to the local prosecutor’s office in the morning mail. <\/p>\n

UPDATED:<\/strong> I’ve been in contact with the FBI on this Baxter guy and I’m waiting for the Baltimore Office to figure out what the Stolen Valor Act is and whether or not they investigate that stuff. *sigh*<\/p>\n

In the meantime, anon sent us a picture of the coins this bozo is handing out like candy;<\/p>\n

UPDATED AGAIN<\/strong>: We made POW Net<\/a> again;<\/p>\n
