Yep, it&#8217;s the same line that many dating scammers use, and he&#8217;s one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Folks who know can tell you that he&#8217;s claiming a Bronze Star for Valor, a Purple Heart, a Meritorious Service Medal, service medals for Iraq, Afghanistan, Desert Storm, I see a Combat Action Ribbon and a bunch of other stuff including a parachutist badge and a scuba bubble.

Nope, none of it, he had less than three years of active service and left the USMC Reserves as a Private E-1. Another overachiever. It looks like he went to boot camp and then he probably quit showing up for unit training so they relieved themselves of his presence and put him out on the street. now he wants to wear all of the shit he didn&#8217;t have the gumption to earn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The gang at Military Phonies send us their work on this John J.
