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

Someone sent us their work on this fellow, Christopher Allen Fraley<\/a>. A guy advertised to sell something on the internet, back in January, and this fellow, Fraley, responded to the ad. Without any prompting, Fraley started telling the seller about how he was an active duty soldier, and that he’d just been blown up in an IED detonation in Afghanistan and sent these pictures to bolster his claims (I guess that’s how he negotiates for a lower price on an item);<\/p>\n

His ID on Twitter<\/a>, is @soldier18D, I guess he’s supposed to be a Special Forces soldier just by virtue of his handle. <\/p>\n

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

In the wedding picture, he’s wearing Desert Storm service medals, a Combat Infantry Badge and a 3rd Infantry Division combat patch. A check of the Manpower Data website, he had no active duty during Desert Storm. The only thing that the National Personnel Records Center could find on him was when he enlisted in the Army Reserve in 2003;<\/p>\n

He wasn’t Infantry, he was a medical supply guy, a 68J after spending a few years as a Nuclear, Biological and Chemical supply guy. I could find no active duty service for this guy. It looks like he was mobilized once, but they sent him home before he deployed a month later;<\/p>\n

And he was discharged from the Reserves in June 2009, the same date that he was reduced in rank from Specialist (E-4) to Private (E-1) on the same set of orders;<\/p>\n
