Om completely sorry about the misunderstanding. I had an agent write the bio for me for my go fund me because i didnt kniw how to set one up. We talked about my military background among several other things. I just seen it says i was deployed out during the early 90\u2019s. I seen it on this website. So i checked<br \/>\nOn it. I am completely embarassed and sorry for that. It was NOT supposed to say that. It was supposed to say \u201cI graduated and joined the army in the early 90\u2019s where I suffered a few scrapes and bruises\u201d. Im truly sorry for the misunderstanding. The Sergeant on my facebook was completely my fault, but unintentional. But like I said before, i never claimed to be a hero, or tried to take anything away from those who are, but i am enrolled in the VA due to injuries sustain while on active duty.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>After that apology was posted a few people who claim to know him offered their opinion:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;To whom this may concern, I am a family member of Leevon. All I have to say is, he\u2019s a chronic liar. He\u2019ll do and say anything to get a free handout and it doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s a stranger, friend or a family member. He knew what was on the biography he wrote. Not some made up agent. If he has taken any of you for money, do something or he\u2019ll keep leeching.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I agree with the family member that posted prior to me. (which I think I know who it is) I know the \u201chistory\u201d behind Leevon for more years than you can count on your fingers and toes, combined. I agree, he is a Chronic Liar. I have heard many variations of the same \u201cLie\u201d throughout the years. If you are \u201csupporting\u201d him, you need to stop, (ref: prior post) \u00a0He just jumped over the 40 year mark in his life, with 3 kids, and as far as I know really never had a REAL JOB. (just leeching off of anybody he can) My biggest concern is for the KIDS. \u00a0They are the innocent ones and I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if they are taken away from him. \u00a0If you are supporting him, you need stop and let him figure it out on his own.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now we are getting reports that he has produced a DD214 that &#8220;proves&#8221; he was in Iraq. \u00a0 We would love to see a copy of that because the Army does not seem to know anything about it. \u00a0Maybe someone here can explain exactly what &#8220;deployed out&#8221; means. \u00a0Or, why he has no awards for being in Iraq. \u00a0We have done several FOIA&#8217;s on him just to make sure our information is accurate. \u00a0It looks like he has had some issues doing the right thing in the past.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/otsuka2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-70242\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/otsuka2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/otsuka3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-70243\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/otsuka3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"318\" height=\"216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/otsuka3.png 318w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/otsuka3-300x204.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 318px) 100vw, 318px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>He left the following posted on one site:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/otsuka5.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-70245\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/otsuka5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"692\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/otsuka5.png 692w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/otsuka5-300x109.png 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/otsuka5-500x181.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 692px) 100vw, 692px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It seems odd that a big time Chef with that kind of experience and an awesome flair, would have such a hard time feeding himself. \u00a0We kinda figure he inadvertently claimed to be trained by Gordon and Emeril as well. \u00a0Considering the stellar comments about his character by his own family, we have no reason to doubt the reports we are getting that he is still out there inadvertently making people believe all kinds of things.<\/p>\n<p>Private Otsuka needs to get job, a real job that comes with an actual pay check that he earned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someone sent us a case on &#8220;Von Cruz&#8221; as he likes to be called. \u00a0He was &hellip; <a title=\"Leevon Ikuo Kuuleilani Otsuka aka Von Cruz; Unintentional Army Sergeant\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=70237\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Leevon Ikuo Kuuleilani Otsuka aka Von Cruz; Unintentional Army Sergeant<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":667,"featured_media":70242,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,391],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-phony-soldiers","category-valorvultures"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/667"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=70237"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70237\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/70242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=70237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=70237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=70237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
