Anyway, the clown had an airsoft pistol in his holster and a K-Bar&#8230;because ya know REAL Marines are always walking around in public with that bull shit, right?<\/p>\n<p>Karlen picked up on these deficiencies;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Chevrons are incorrectly placed<br \/>\nCover looks worse than a first week recruit<br \/>\nWearing black boots<br \/>\nHas an airsoft pistol and knife attached at the waist<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Someone posted this at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Portland\/comments\/l3i85\/armed_marine_is_an_impersonator_and_a_disgrace\">Reddit<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m a former Marine who attended to protest today, and saw the police &#8220;disarm&#8221; him. I use quotes because the gun was an airsoft gun. I approached him and questioned him on who he was, what he was doing, etc. He identified himself as &#8220;Acting&#8221; MstGySgt Patterson (promoted under the authority of a Capt Nicholas Holtz), and said his unit was 3\/1 MARSOC, 1st Company, based out of the Pentagon in Virginia. He reported he&#8217;d been in the Marine Corps for 7 years, and that his actual pay grade was E-7. He didn&#8217;t have much in the way of answers when I asked why he was wearing non-uniform boots, how he made E-7 in seven years and what &#8220;Acting MstGySgt&#8221; meant, why his chevrons weren&#8217;t positioned properly on his collar, why he didn&#8217;t have his military ID, what exactly &#8220;3\/1 MARSOC&#8221; meant, when they started numbering companies, when captains gained E-9 promotion authority, why he was wearing utilities off-base and off duty against regs, or when they moved the Pentagon to Virginia and started basing combat units out of it. He became extremely agitated when I started pressing him on what his real story was. I suggested that there were probably enough Marines downtown that would instantly see through his crap disguise that it might not be a good idea to hang around. He left in a hurry.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>James sent us these photos;<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Dick-Munch-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27106\" title=\"Dick Munch 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Dick-Munch-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Dick-Munch-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Dick-Munch-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Dick-munch2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27107\" title=\"Dick munch2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Dick-munch2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Dick-munch2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Dick-munch2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Dick-Munch3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27108\" title=\"Dick Munch3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Dick-Munch3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Dick-Munch3.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Dick-Munch3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Dick-Munch4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27109\" title=\"Dick Munch4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Dick-Munch4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"747\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Dick-munch-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Dick-munch-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Dick munch 5\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Dick-munch-5.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Dick-munch-5-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of folks have sent me the link to a confrontation in Portland&#8217;s Occupy protest &hellip; <a title=\"Gunny Dick Munch in Portland\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=27105\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Gunny Dick Munch in Portland<\/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-27105","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\/27105","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=27105"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27105\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
