Someone sent us their work on this fellow, Frank Fischer<\/a> in Martinsburg, West Virginia who did an interview with the local Journal-News<\/a> during which he claims to be an Army Ranger and a sniper and a paratrooper and Air Assault trained;<\/p>\n

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

Fischer\u2019s first deployment as sniper was in Waltersdorf Chaussee, Germany, along the Berlin Wall at the Czechoslovakian border.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe stood behind the barracks\u2019 50-caliber machine gun the whole time,\u201d Fischer said. \u201cIf anybody was trying to get across, we were to let them get across, and we were to try to prevent other people from shooting at them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nine months later, Fischer was assigned sniper duty at the famous Cold War border stop called \u201cCheckpoint Charlie\u201d roughly 5 years before the historic tearing down of the Berlin Wall.<\/p>\n

Fischer was eventually reassigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment in Turkey.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s when I finally saw action,\u201d Fischer said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, here’s a picture that he says was taken of him in Turkey;<\/p>\n

He struck the exact same pose in Gamboa, Panama;<\/p>\n

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

His claim is still on his Facebook page;<\/p>\n

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

His American Legion cap;<\/p>\n

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

The Army says that he was a 13B cannon cocker in Germany and then in the 101st at Fort Campbell from 1976 – 1981. No Ranger assignments, no Ranger School.<\/p>\n

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

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

His cap says that he was a staff sergeant (E-6) and the FOIA says that he left the Army as a private. According to his assignments, he never reached an NCO duty position during his four years of service. No Airborne School, no Air Assault training, no sniper school, no combat deployments to Grenada or Just Cause. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
