I kept him apprised of his standing throughout the tournament, cuz, ya know, he&#8217;s busy trying to get some TV appearances, and he didn&#8217;t bother to answer until today. He sent us proof that he was in Iraq and because I&#8217;m a fair guy here&#8217;s his evidence;<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Diliberto-in-Iraq.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-31908\" title=\"Diliberto in Iraq\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Diliberto-in-Iraq-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Diliberto-in-Iraq-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Diliberto-in-Iraq.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center>You can tell that&#8217;s him, right? And you can tell it&#8217;s Iraq, right? So obviously, we were wrong, if we lived in some dimension where only Iraq looks like that. If you&#8217;re like me, that&#8217;s probably not enough proof for you <a href=\"http:\/\/jakediliberto.com\/2012\/09\/06\/setting-the-record-straight\/\">so here he &#8220;sets the record straight&#8221;.<\/a> Mostly it&#8217;s &#8220;because I said so&#8221;. Yeah there&#8217;s no real proof that he was ever in Iraq. And he admits he never set foot in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>But, Jake assures us that he&#8217;s adjusted his biography in several places to reflect these changes.<\/p>\n<p>No explanation as to why his records only reflect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=30402\">service in Kuwait<\/a>. And in his narrative, he says George Bush jerked him out of Force Recon training to participate in that misdirected war. But he doesn&#8217;t bother to explain why he was overheard telling his mother that he is Force Recon and why he was caught by his squad leader wearing the T-shirt on leave years before the Iraq War began. He admits that he didn&#8217;t go to Afghanistan, but he neglects to mention that it was because his leaders didn&#8217;t want to be saddled with his buffoonery. Instead, he implies that he was needed to train SEALs with his vast experience of pulling guard in Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p>So there you go, Jake, I told your story for you.
