Scotty <\/a>sends us his work on John Rixley Moore, another secret squirrel who won’t answer questions about his service, well, except in a book. <\/p>\n

Moore was actually a special forces qualified soldier in Vietnam for a little over 5 months. He was awarded a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star. But all of that wasn’t good enough for him. He had to go and claim a Distinguished Service Cross (there are three John Moores<\/a> who were awarded a DSC, but during WWI), two Silver Stars, five Bronze Stars and three Purple Hearts. And, oh, yeah, he claims that he was promoted to E-7 with only 2 1\/2 years in service;<\/p>\n

His 2-1 says that he was serving in E-7 slots, but it’s what’s in your paycheck that counts. Moore also claims that he was Ranger qualified, but there’s nothing in his records that support that. When questioned about the discrepancies, Moore claims that the CIA awarded him all of those medals, not the Army. Anyone who spent a day in the military knows that’s bullshit. Moore claims four years in Vietnam, but he didn’t even have four years in the active Army.<\/p>\n

I’m not up on Vietnam era Special Forces, maybe some of you old guys can tell me if the C&C designation on his 2-1 means that he wasn’t in an A Team. I’m thinking it means he was a 5th Group HQ weinie in a command & control slot (not that there’s anything wrong with that unless you’re claiming to be more than what you actually were). I know his hair looks too good in some of those pictures at Scotty’s place to be a ruck rider.<\/p>\n

There are other things to wonder about – like him spending more time qualifying for special forces than he spent operating as a special forces soldier. And why his active duty enlistment was cut short. But I’m not going to speculate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
