Well, Sporkmaster emails that he&#8217;s been busted a stripe prior to his retirement according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.military.com\/news\/article\/senior-nco-busted-for-unauthorized-medals.html\">Military.com<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I sent the picture to Special Forces Command and they came back immediately and said, &#8216;he&#8217;s not SF,&#8217; &#8221; [Retired Master Sgt. Jeffrey &#8220;JD&#8221;] Hinton said. At that point, he began using the Freedom of Information Act to secure copies of official records, including a listing of Letuli&#8217;s assignments, decorations, medals and badges.<\/p>\n<p>The record does not list a Purple Heart or Soldier&#8217;s Medal. It notes Letuli has a basic parachutist badge, but not the Military Freefall Badge.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A bust one stripe is hardly any punishment at all. But, I guess it&#8217;s better than nothing.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In one photo, Letuli is wearing a Special Forces patch and tab on his BDUs; in another, he is in Class As, wearing the Purple Heart and Soldier&#8217;s Medal ribbons, and a Military Freefall Badge, or &#8220;HALO wings&#8221; &#8212; none of which he earned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But at least the truth is out there about this clown now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of you probably remember the shitbag known as SGM John Letuli (center in the photo &hellip; <a title=\"Letuli busted\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=21337\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Letuli busted<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-phony-soldiers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21337"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21337\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
