<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nYou might remember this fellow from when we first busted him over two years ago<\/a> and then in September<\/a> when he was busted once again by the folks at Guardians of Valor<\/a>. We originally got wind of him when he refused to stop pretending to be a sergeant major after Doug Sterner busted him. <\/p>\n Well, he tried to order more phony finery from our friends at MyServicePride<\/a>, a small family-run operation that caters to real soldiers who want to put together their ribbon racks. This is what Collier tried to order;<\/p>\n Distinguished Service Cross, Defense Distinguished Service Medal, Silver Star, Soldier’s Medal, Purple Heart and 3rd award of the Combat Infantryman Badge. Of course, there are no devices on any of the medals, because he’s into colors, not shinies. Kind of hard to be a sergeant major with just one Good Cookie and one NCOPD school. That’s quite a bit more than his FOIA <\/a>says that he actually earned (an Army Service Ribbon and an Expert BOLO badge) as a fueler and an mechanic. <\/p>\n Dear phonies, the third award of the CIB means that you served in three conflicts – the Korean War, the Vietnam War (Grenada, Panama, Desert Storm or Somalia) and the War Against Terror. It doesn’t mean that you had three deployments during any one of those wars. For example, if you had gone to Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Desert Storm and Somalia (assigned as an infantryman in an infantry battalion), you’d still have just one award of the CIB. I want to invest in the first company to manufacture the 4th award of the CIB – there’s no such thing, but the phonies will buy them up by the crate when they’re available because they just don’t understand.<\/p>\n The folks at My Service Pride, of course, rejected his order and warned him that pretending to be something he’s not is against the law. But that’s never stopped him before. He loves the phony life that he’s created for himself, and I’m sure we’ll read about it in his obituary, when that day comes.<\/p>\n Oddly enough, I’ve had mail in the last few days from phonies who write that they have learned their lesson, so wouldn’t I please take down my posts about them – John Collier is just one of the many reasons that I won’t do that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"download\"](\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/download-156x300.png\")
