So, I got this phone call a few weeks ago from one of our readers who told the story of Anthony Tuso who stood up at a professional luncheon and told the attendees his remarkable story of being a Delta Force sniper in Afghanistan in the early 80s where he made 18 confirmed kills and earned two Bronze Stars for valor and a two Purple Hearts. The caller had been in the military at the same time and thought Tuso’s story was a little bit fabricated, so he called us to set the story straight. <\/p>\n

Well, here is the real story;<\/p>\n

Tuso was an image interpreter in a military intelligence unit at Fort Hood, not that there’s anything wrong with that, but there are no special forces units at Fort Hood, TX, let alone a Delta detachment. Tuso has no schooling outside of his schooling for his job – no jump school, no special forces training, no sniper training. His only award according to his records is a marksmanship badge, no Purple Heart, no Bronze Stars. He left active duty on Nov. 8, 1979 and the Soviets invaded Afghanistan on Dec. 24th, 1979, as if that needed to be said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
