<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nKevin sent us an article in the East Coast Magazine<\/a> about a special forces master sergeant by the name of Jay Polk who cooked for the filthy hippies at Occupy San Diego until he called up for a deployment to Afghanistan. Then a few days later, he called a local preacher for some prayers because he was “worried”;<\/p>\n Polk had just learned of his deployment, but said that \u201che could not divulge anything, since it was really secretive.\u201d Polk said his goodbyes to friends in San Diego just days before news came of his demise.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n For those who may not know, it takes “days” just to get to Afghanistan. But the article is dated January 12, 2012, so looking at the casualty lists of the weeks prior to the article, there is no listing for a Jay Polk, or any other Polk;<\/p>\n The article also says that Polk will be buried in his hometown of Iberia, LA, but unless he was transgendered, there’s no record of an obituary by that name in Iberia<\/a>;<\/p>\n The article explains all of that away;<\/p>\n The U.S. Department of Defense has not yet published news of Polk\u2019s death, however such confirmation is commonly delayed in special forces operations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yuh, huh. Well, here we are more than two weeks after the article was written and still no announcement of his death. But Occupy San Diego needed a martyr more than they needed the truth;<\/p>\n At today\u2019s memorial service, a Veterans for Peace member read the poem, Fidler\u2019s Green, to honor Polk\u2019s service in the Cavalry. He also read the Special Forces Prayer, in honor of Polk\u2019s active duty service with the U.S. Special Operations Command.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n You know if VFP is involved, there’s something fishy going on. AKO has no record of a Jay Polk. The only person on AKO whose name with that rank is even remotely like MSG Jay Polk is a MSG Jeff Polk who is retired. <\/p>\n The only reason I put a question mark in the title is that we don’t know if that was his real name or not. But you’ll notice the casualty list has no master sergeant listed either. It just sounds too fishy to ignore. Kevin has written to the magazine to get them off their asses to check into the story with their resources. Seems to me that a phony soldier getting the Occupy folks all upset is a bigger story than what they’ve written.<\/p>\n The article says that his Facebook account has been taken down, yet here it is<\/a>.<\/p>\n Apparently, he wrote on his Facebook page that he was deploying to Syria, which has the Democratic Underground conspiracy theorists<\/a> spinning. Yeah, I’m sure a real special forces soldier would reveal that tidbit on Facebook.<\/p>\n This tiny entry on a local page of obit announcements in San Diego<\/a> after the memorial ceremony<\/strong>;<\/p>\n East Coast Magazine just this minute updated their article with a disclaimer;<\/p>\n Update February 3, 2012: Sgt. Polk’s death has still not been reported by the Dept. of Defense, nor has any notice of his death appeared in his family’s hometown newspaper. A source has further informed ECM that his name has not been provided for addition to a memorial that honors fallen special services soldiers. Thus at this point, it appears likely that Polk did not die in service overseas. Perhaps he faked his death, or possibly someone else posted misleading information on his Facebook account. Where is he now? If anyone has conclusive evidence, please email editor@eastcountymagazine.org.<\/em> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n ADDED:<\/strong> Apparently our buds at SOCNET<\/a> are already on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
