Remember that “super soldier” Dalton Coldiron? That sensitive guy who loves little bunnies and shirtless photos (which show off his Ranger tattoo) featured here at TAH last week<\/a>?<\/p>\n

I decided to do a follow-up FOIA on him.\u00a0 Lo and behold, I’m pleasantly surprised; NPRC turned the corner damned quickly. And no – I didn’t include a $20 bill with my FOIA request. (smile)<\/p>\n

Seems Coldiron does<\/span> have records at NPRC after all. On the second try NPRC was able to find them.\u00a0 (Dunno why they couldn’t find them a couple of months ago for Scotty.)<\/p>\n

I guess that means Coldiron technically did<\/span> serve in the Army.\u00a0 In fact, it seems Coldiron was in the Army for the grand total (presumably including both active and DEP time) of 46<\/strong> days<\/em> – from 18 July to 1 September 2011.\u00a0 His duty status is listed on NPRC’s FOIA response as “uncharacterized”.<\/p>\n

He was separated as a “Private” at Fort “Lost-in-the-Woods” (Leonard Wood), MO. I’m guessing it was an Entry Level Separation.<\/p>\n

Coldiron’s records also say he left the Army with no awards, badges, or tabs – and no military education.\u00a0 Nothing.\u00a0 Zip.\u00a0 Nada.\u00a0 So according to his official records, any claims he’s making of being a “Ranger”, “SF”, “Airborne”, or even that he qualified Marksman with some assigned weapon would appear to be 100% bull.<\/p>\n

Here’s what NPRC sent in response to my FOIA:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center>A PDF copy of NPRC’s complete reply, including redacted cover letter, can be downloaded here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Looks to me like Coldiron here is just another wannabe who didn’t really have the guts to serve and managed to get out of his contract. Or maybe he’s just a fragile “special little snowflake” who couldn’t handle Basic Training.\u00a0 But whichever it was, it doesn’t seem to have kept him from MSU (Making Sh!t Up) about his “military service”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
