\"Gene<\/a><\/center>So, we got some information on this Gene P. Carroll, fellow who was indeed a Marine and he did indeed serve in Vietnam, but he wasn’t this guy;<\/p>\n

Yeah, he wasn’t Marine Special Forces, he didn’t have the specialized training that he claimed, he said that he was deployed to Cyprus on a secret mission in 1964. He was a recruit in training from June until November 1964 – I doubt that they had any secret missions that required a boot.<\/p>\n

He wasn’t in the Dominican Republic in 1965, either. The Marines deployed to the DomRep in April 1965. In May of 1965, Carroll was AWOL for 30 days, got himself a Special Court Martial, and wasn’t released from confinement until August 1965. The Marines left DomRep in September 1965 and the 82d remained there for another year. <\/p>\n

You can see in this picture how he claims that he has two Purple Hearts and a Silver Star. I see a Combat Action Ribbon in there, too;<\/p>\n

But, oddly enough, I don’t see any of that on his FOIA;<\/p>\n

\"Gene<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Oh, and he claims that he was a 2LT in Vietnam;<\/p>\n
