The story that comes with this photo;<\/p>\n

Not sure what you can do but I ran across your site and thought I would forward you what I sent to the Army CID here in Virginia. I ran across the guy in question on 9\/11 2012 in San Diego. Please
\nread the below email for full details.<\/p>\n

Good Afternoon,
\n I am attaching a picture of an Army Soldier in dress uniform that I encountered in San Diego California on Sept 11, 2012. I began a conversation with this soldier when I noticed that he had a Silver Star as well as Bronze star on his stack of ribbons. He began to tell me that he was an Intel background with 6 combat deployments. I noticed 2 men in civilian attire taking a picture of this guy with their phones when 1 of them nodded for me to come over to speak with them. They then asked if I was in the military due to my “high reg” Marine haircut. When I told them that I was a Marine they both told me that they used to be in the Army and that the guy (in uniform) sitting beside me was suspicious. 1 of the gentlemen was an Army Ranger and noticed the Ranger tab on the guys uniform along with numerous other badges and tabs. He walked up and asked the guy in uniform what Ranger class he was and the Soldier simply stated that he was in the 1st class of 2000 and didn’t remember his class number. Something didn’t seem right with this guy so I identified myself and asked him to present his military ID to show that he was a Soldier. He flashed an Army ID but would not let me examine it. By this time the 2 (prior Army) other gentlemen were extremely upset and arguing with the Soldier. We left the bar with the soldier in uniform still sitting at the bar drinking his beer.<\/p>\n

I am not sure if this guy is legit or not but when I went onto a Silver Star registry I couldn’t find his name anywhere. What I am guessing is that this guy is active duty or a reservist and is possibly wearing awards and badges that he does not rate. I know that the picture I attached is blurry but I hope this helps identify this soldier and uncover the truth. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The second dude is clearly legit, because real soldiers wear their beret and ACUs while they’re with their girlfriend inside;<\/p>\n

Name Brian Dawson. clearly in uniform on a pornographic cam website. He claims to be in Ft Huachuca and TX at same time. Impossible. and also claims to be a combat veteran but now works as a mercenary and traded his commission for E-4 pay. Unlikely. I found this disturbing and Inappropriate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Does anyone recognize the unit patch?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
