Most\u00a0people who make false and embellished claims of military service go to great lengths in order to support their claims. \u00a0We often see false documents, altered pictures, claims\u00a0that could never be true, sock puppets, legal threats, and so much more being used by posers to defend their lies.<\/p>\n

Some of the most bold posers use bravado to fend off anyone who dare question their service. \u00a0They will use all forms of deception to justify their lies. \u00a0We have had several cases in the recent past that stand out. \u00a0One man had started his own FaceBook veteran group and was invited to help Admin many more veteran groups. \u00a0He used the fact that many people who are known within veteran communities were on his friends list to establish his credibility. \u00a0He had been doing it for many years. \u00a0His blunder was to try and join a private group that investigates Stolen Valor. \u00a0They take their lies too far, \u00a0they always seem to go too far.<\/p>\n

During our exposure of another recent case, a\u00a0man used all kinds of documentation to support his lies. \u00a0 His family, beguiled by bravado, bought into his lie. \u00a0For decades they were sure his claims were true. \u00a0After all, he had proof. \u00a0A lot of proof. \u00a0Pictures on the wall, documents, awards, and many other veterans that knew him well. \u00a0Or so it seemed.<\/p>\n

I thought you might want to see the things we went to recover from this recent case. \u00a0It is one thing to use words to describe the lengths these posers will go…quite another to see their deeds with your own eyes.<\/p>\n

Here is one of our recent inventories surrendered by a man that never spent a day as a United State Marine:<\/p>\n

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

All recovered from one military poser. \u00a0The money and time people will put into protecting a lie must be exhausting.<\/p>\n

Much respect to the men and women of TAH for your unwavering support. Without all of you, there would be no us.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to little Nicky with this particular case. \u00a0Proud of you brother, Semper Fi.<\/p>\n
