Someone sent us their work on this Robert Guidi fellow who claims that he was Special Forces in Vietnam and yet another POW. Here is his bio from when he received recognition from his home county, Morris County, New Jersey;<\/p>\n

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

Pretty impressive, eh? At that ceremony<\/a>, in May this year, he said that he got a field commission to Captain. But I guess he fake-RIFed himself and this is the clown suit that he wore;<\/p>\n

Last month, a local sports equipment dealer awarded him a free custom-made bow <\/a>in recognition of his service. He demoted himself to Master Sergeant;<\/p>\n

The DPAA doesn’t list him as a POW;<\/p>\n

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

The National Personnel Records Center differs on his career, too. They say that he wasn’t a Master Sergeant (he was a Master Private First Class), no Purple Hearts, no Silver Star. He served as a postal clerk in an Administrative Company in the 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam after a tour in Germany as a truck driver and a clerk;<\/p>\n

I guess Guidi has been using his fake stories to cash in for free stuff for a while. Here’s an article from January 2014 where he tells about all of the BS he thinks he did in Vietnam;<\/p>\n

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

He claims in the article that he was wounded twice, that he was a “Green Beret” sniper, that he was trained at Langley, Quantico and the War College. I guess he added the POW thing to his resume later. But, the free deck made him feel better about his war time service as a postal clerk, in the rear, with the gear;<\/p>\n

From the longer article about the bow<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Mine Hill resident Robert Guidi served his country during the Vietnam war, earning the Medal of Valor, Bronze Star, and two Purple Hearts. Despite these official recognitions for his time spent as a Green Beret sniper, Guidi came home to a country that made him feel ashamed for doing his duty.<\/p>\n

[..]
\nGuidi entered the military in 1967 and was trained at Langley, Quantico, Fort Benning, and the National War College. He was wounded in Vietnam in 1968 and again, more severely, the following year. Guidi was given a medical discharge in 1971 and has been on 100 percent service-connected disability ever since.<\/p>\n

For years, Guidi did not talk about his war experiences, in part because “everybody asked the wrong questions.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess the Medal of Valor is actually his National Defense Service medal. Funny how he’s wounded in Vietnam in 1968, but the NPRC says that in 1968 he was in Germany. That’s really good marksmanship for the Viet Cong to shoot him from halfway around the world.<\/p>\n
