Someone sent us their work on this Marshall Morris<\/a> fellow in Indianapolis, Indiana. According to his LinkedIn profile<\/a> he claims to have been a “Special Operations Team Leader” who was an “Airborne Ranger attached to Task Force 160th Special Operations Aviation Unit”. I don’t know why 160th SOAR would need an Airborne Ranger since it’s an aviation unit, but there you go. He also claims that he was awarded a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star Medal with a “valor” device. In another LinkedIn account<\/a> (he needs two, I guess) Morris claims that he earned those two medals “while saving a fallen soldier in the Gulf War”.<\/p>\n

The Army remembers his career differently, though. They say he was discharged in June 1991 after his service in the Gulf War with the 101st Airborne Division. He served four years like he claims, but he trained as an “11 Charlie” mortarman and left the service as a specialist (E-4).<\/p>\n

He earned an Air Assault badge, Parachute Badge and a Good Conduct Medal, but no Purple Heart, no Bronze Star Medal with or without a “Valor” device. He was an infantryman in Desert Storm, but I don’t see a Combat Infantry Badge, so I don’t know what’s up with that. He also has only 2 Service Stars on his Southwest Asia Service Medal, so that makes me think that he left the Gulf before the Ground War began for some reason. But there’s no Ranger training, no Special Forces training, no assignment to the 160th SOAR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
