Someone sent us this fellow’s Facebook page. His name is Kennis LaWayne Smith<\/a> and he claims to be a Ranger and Special Forces qualified. According to his now-defunct LinkedIn page, he tried to use that experience for his private security business;<\/p>\n

And he looks pretty scowly – that alone proves he’s a Ranger and all-around bad-ass and he has the American flag on his chest so the bad guys know who is about to kick their collective ass. Just because the Airborne Tab, the Ranger Tab (on his combat patch) and the flag are reversed, well, that don’t mean a thing. Bad asses don’t care ’bout no 670-1;<\/p>\n

And he did all of that training in just 22 days;<\/p>\n

You know he’s totally legit because of the American flag behind him on his privacy fence – only a real hero would have the ‘nads to pose like that. I’m disappointed that his LinkedIn account came down, though, I guess when he saw that I visited, he scrambled to get all of that bullshit down – I just snagged the screenshots on December 1st. Good thing I saved it for him, huh? I hope my foresight helps him in his business endeavors.<\/p>\n

I just went back and checked his Facebook page and he posted this apology the day after I submitted his stuff to Mary;<\/p>\n

Yeah, uh-uh, makes perfect sense – he must have thought that showing up at Benning makes him a BCT graduate, AIT grad, BAC grad and a combat veteran of the 101st Airborne Division. And 21 years in service is the same as 22 days.<\/p>\n

And, then even if showing up at Benning gets you all of that training, he didn’t go to Benning;<\/p>\n

It looks like he lasted long enough to get his BDUs issued and the photo taken. This is from his Google+ account<\/a>;<\/p>\n
