Our partners at Guardians of the Green Beret<\/a> share their work with us on this fellow, Bradford Hynde<\/a>, who wanted to be a member of the VFW so badly, he pretended to be a combat veteran special forces soldier. Apparently he submitted two applications with DD214s that were rejected by the veterans service organization. The third one was the charm, but folks at the VFW asked our partners to look into Hynde;<\/p>\n

He submitted yet a third set and this time a Combat Infantryman Badge appear on his DD214 and they allowed him to join and also reached out to us. <\/p>\n

You see, he also claimed to have been a Special Forces Medic.<\/p>\n

We checked with the SF Schoolhouse at Bragg and they confirmed beyond doubt he was a drop from the course.<\/p>\n

In the few pictures you see, he has both a Special Forces Long tab, meaning he\u2019s a Green Beret and completed the SFQC (Special Forces Qualification Course), and the Combat Infantry Badge.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here’s the forged DD214;<\/p>\n

He did attend special warfare training, but he didn’t finish it;<\/p>\n

No CIB, either, or any awards that would indicate he was deployed to a combat zone or in a position to earn a CIB.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
