You probably remember this piss-poor photoshop job<\/a> that Gary Etheridge<\/a> had posted to Facebook. We discovered that he had snagged Kyle Carpenter’s photo to make himself a hero. You remember Kyle Carpenter, right? The Marine who shielded his fellow Marines from a grenade blast with his own body. <\/p>\n

Well, it turns out that Gary-kins was a Marine, too – for 17 whole months;<\/p>\n

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

Yep, during those dangerous years of 1976-1977 when we were earning Medals of Honor left and right. And he rocketed up to Private E-1. He was a Mortarman, if that isn’t scary. <\/p>\n

It looks like he had a few months as a recruiter before he went to Camp Pendleton and then hit the bricks.<\/p>\n

When people asked him about the picture the last time we wrote about him, he said it was supposed to be a joke. I accepted that at the time, but now that we see Gary was actually a Marine, he should have known better, but obviously he didn’t know better, so screw him. He wanted to be a bigshot, now he’s a bigshot. He can join the stolen valor cabal with his pretend Harvard Law School education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
