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

Last year when we exposed Daryld \u201cGil\u201d Gilbertson<\/a>, the former sheriff for Josephine County, Oregon, for his tales of derring-do, I got a series of email from some guy and he was sending me all of this forged documentation to support Gilbertson’s claims. He wouldn’t tell me his name and he ceased communications when I asked. But his email address was coordinator@oathkeepersjoco.com. <\/p>\n

A few days ago we wrote about Jeffery Prossen<\/a> another pretender in the Josephine County Oathkeepers. Which got me to thinking about the email exchange I’d had with this coordinator guy. So, it took me only a few minutes to discover that he was actually this Joseph A. Rice fellow. As it turns out, he had a starring role in an entry on the old POW Network website before it came down;<\/p>\n

He had been claiming to be a POW in the 1st war against Saddam Hussein, that his helicopter had been shot down and he was wounded – twice. Folks say that before he had an entry on POW Network, he also had Purple Heart plates on his vehicle, but those disappeared suddenly. The word around Josephine County is that he still likes to tell tall tales, but since his run-in with POW Network, he keeps that off the internet, so to keep it that way, because that’s how I like it, here’s his FOIA;<\/p>\n

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

You’ll notice that there are no awards for his participation in Desert Storm, mostly because he was out of the Reserves before Desert Storm. He began his career as an enlisted mechanic in the National Guard and the went into the rotary-wing pilot program and served in the Army Reserve, all very commendable, but apparently not for Joe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
