We got a tip that there’s a serious phony Marine in Raleigh by the name of Alan Robert Lorinth expressing his first amendment right to be a jerkwad. According to POW Net<\/a>, he’s been confronted and reported several times for pretending to be a Marine (his actual service was in the Army as a chaplain’s assistant in Vietnam), a POW, and an awardee of three Purple Hearts.<\/p>\n

Here’s a copy of the DD214 he flashes around;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You’ll notice the Purple Hearts listed on the DD214 are in a different sized type and font than the previous entries and the award would actually read “Purple Heart 3rd Award” in military speak. Also, he typed “CAB” (Combat Action Badge – an Army award established three decades after he left the service) instead of “CAR” (Combat Action Ribbon – the award he’d be given if he was a Marine for service in combat).<\/p>\n

POW Net also has pictures of his license plate – Purple Heart plates, of course. I guess that means he’s used his freedom of speech to get perks to which he’s not entitled. <\/p>\n

He’s so ashamed of his service, he pretends to be a Marine – interservice rivalry aside, how fucked up is that? The Marines don’t want him (he’s been kicked out of the Marine Corp League) and we don’t want him either. He changed his MOS to get out of being an engineer and now he wants us to think he’s a machine gunner. Dickwad.<\/p>\n

POW Net has three apologies he’s sent them over the years, but he continues his behavior – he was most recently reported in January 2010 playing the role. Here he is on the current roster<\/a> of the Tamarac, FL Marine Corps League.<\/p>\n

Let’s get him the publicity he so desperately craves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
