I wrote about this butt nugget, Jorge Edgardo Cruz<\/a>, back in June. The Library of Congress has taken his video down for some reason, but here’s what I wrote about the video before;<\/p>\n

He claims he was awarded \u201cMedal of Valor\u201d for actions in Colombia. He was steaming towards Afghanistan on 9-11, and then he was the first Marine into Iraq where he was awarded a Navy Cross. And, of course, he was Force Recon \u2013 just based on his claim to be a Navy Cross awardee, I\u2019m calling him a phony;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And, ya know what, that looks exactly like what’s in his records;<\/p>\n

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

He spent four years in the Marines and never deployed. My niece’s husband was chemical guy at Camp Pendelton and he deployed to Iraq during that time period. But it looks like Cruz cleaned pro-masks for four years.<\/p>\n

The video was originally part of the Library of Congress Veterans’ History Series, the video and the transcript have both been removed and I can’t find an archived copy even at the Wayback Machine. I wish now that I screen capped a photo of his portly visage to highlight the ridiculousness of his claims.<\/p>\n

At the original post, our buddy, Doug Sterner c&p’d<\/a> some of the transcript.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
