BRIEF UPDATE: The promotion to E6 was an innocent transcription error by others, not by Poe. Unfortunately for him, the promotion is the only thing that WOULDN’T violate the SVA.<\/p>\n

Just a reminder of the ACTUAL RECORD:<\/p>\n

Sgt. Timothy Michael Poe served in the Minnesota Army National Guard from Dec. 3, 2002 until May 26, 2011, and performed as a supply specialist.<\/p>\n

His military records indicate that he served with the Minnesota National Guard in Kosovo from Oct. 10, 2007 until July 15, 2008, and was deployed to Afghanistan from July 28, 2009 to Aug. 30, 2009.<\/p>\n

Sgt. Poe\u2019s official military records do not indicate that he was injured by a grenade in combat while serving in Afghanistan in 2009, as he reports. The Minnesota National Guard can also confirm that he was not awarded the Purple Heart Medal for wounds sustained in combat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, this guys real perfidy was taking in my friends at Defenders of Freedom, who had to put out this release last night:<\/p>\n

Defenders of Freedom\u2019s mission has always been to help meet the needs of our Troops. We strive to assure that our assistance is given to those who meet our giving criteria. Since being alerted about Tim Poe last week, we have been unable to substantiate his claims. We have reached out to him, but have been disappointed that he has been unwilling to talk with us. As a result, in the best interest of Defenders of Freedom, we have chosen to disassociate with him. <\/p>\n

Defenders of Freedom thanks the men and women from the 114th Transportation Unit with the Minnesota National Guard who alerted us to the discrepancies in Tim\u2019 story. We appreciate your service in Afghanistan and will remember the sacrifice of your fallen comrade, George Cauley.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Just remember that next time Jonathan Turley <\/del>some random douche tells you that Stolen Valor is harmless lies that don’t hurt anyone. They hurt Defenders of Freedom, who could have allowed an actual wounded vet to take part in their activities.<\/p>\n

Anyway, another friend found this picture from one of the DOF events, and it shows the wounded guys that were partaking, and their service. All the info on the bios is from self-reporting. <\/p>\n

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

So, let’s blow up Poe’s background:
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In case you can’t make it out….
\n* Purple Heart
\n* Bronze Star
\n* ARCOM with star*
\n* AAM with 3 stars*
\n* Combat Infantryman’s Badge (YOU SON OF A BITCH)
\n* Air Assault
\n* Kosovo (confirmed), Iraq x2 (nope) and Afghanistan x2 (32 days.)
\n* Post- ETS promotion from E5 to E6. (See update, transcription error)<\/p>\n

But yeah, he was only lying to honor other wounded vets.<\/p>\n

* See comments below, apparently dude is claiming like 6 and 8 medals. Honestly, I never got any stars on anything earned except the Reserve Components Training Medal and I don’t think I ever even wore it. I did get a few stars on my “Successfully lived through an Article 15” award, but that might only be a state thing. Or maybe not even that.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

From another source:<\/p>\n

Confirmed that Poe is the guy I was thinking of, he was in my battalion on ADOS orders same time as me. And this isn’t his first time getting caught lying on the record. He put his Jeep in the ditch after leaving a bar in 2008 and told the police he was on duty at the time to try to get workers comp to pay his medical bills. <\/p>\n

He actually was injured in Afghanistan, but by falling off a truck at the MOB station and hurting his back. He reinjured himself in country (allegedly) which was why he left after a month. In that time he never left the wire. Typical faker, when told he was being given a medical discharge, he fought it saying he could still be in the Guard, he just couldn’t deploy….<\/p>\n

Also, I can confirm that his MOS was 88M20 on the Astan deployment which makes me even more pissed about the CIB claim. The only other MOS he holds is 92Y20. <\/p>\n

Poe was assigned to med hold on 24 April 2010 and released 08 April 2011. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
