Why not simply go into more detail in the correspondence?<\/p>\n<p>Well, as you can see below, things can get screen captured.<\/p>\n<p>Turned out that he was regular supply, and that he simply did not exercise good judgment. He did what he wanted to do, at the expense of what he was supposed to do, and lied about things to prop himself up for his own benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Well, after his lies were exposed, he jumped in and played the martyr:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Originally posted by <b>Shane Kunzeman:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Hello everyone, I figure after the seven death threats that I&#8217;ve gotten this morning, and the man who called from an unknown number saying he&#8217;ll be at my office doorstep today and<strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> I&#8217;m sure a lot of you guys out there are extremely happy about that maybe another veteran will get killed who is a father and a husband<\/span> <\/strong>and you can say that guy got what he deserved and since you guys decided to threatened my wife and kids and the attacks on my friends and clients maybe you all should know a few things.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Naturally, when the exposed phony\/embellisher jumps onto a thread like this, you guys can predict what would happen.<\/p>\n<p>During the exchange, he tried to BS the site into taking down the post on him. Continuing to play the martyr, he tried to make it sound like we were being cruel to the veterans that he was trying to help. He also attempted to paint a picture of us putting his family through an experience they didn&#8217;t need to go through.<\/p>\n<p>His commentary and action on the other thread about him, as well as his actions in the organizations he was at, have one common denominator. He refused to accept responsibility for his own action. He also refused to view himself in an image other than how he actually viewed himself.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, he gave up trying to get the post on him taken down. He disappeared for a few months until he showed up again. On May 25, 2018, he wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Originally posted by <b>Shane Kunzeman:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I have discontinued the company. My deepenst apology.I wanted nothing more than to help veterans. And I want my family and and others to be safe. <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>This has obviously changed my life for the worst.<\/strong><\/span> I honestly worked hard for the vets and I did my very best. We were just not able to continue due to many reasons. Please accept this apology. Hopefully I can get things back on track for my family and future. As honestly all I want to do is help people from the bottom of my heart. I have learned many lessons in this company and with veterans. I can assure you that I am deeply sorry. God bless.<br \/>\nShane<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Once again, he attempted to play the martyr. He attempted to BS us into thinking that our actions, and the site&#8217;s keeping the post on him up, contributed to his life changing for the worse. He appears to still want the post about him to be taken down.<\/p>\n<p>The passage of time did not stop him from accepting responsibility for his own actions and moving on from there.<\/p>\n<p>On November 19, 2018 someone wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Originally posted by <b>Penny Huber:<\/b><br \/>\nNumber two&#8230; why does it matter at this point if you already have crucified and buried! <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>I have the commendations and verified<\/strong><\/span>, thank you!<\/p>\n<p>Just thought a note of <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">&#8221; shame on you&#8221;<\/span><\/strong> also needed to be called on you as well!&#8221;<br \/>\nThank you!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This appears to be a sock puppet username, as it is very personal on behalf of Shane Kunzeman. It&#8217;s very defensive, especially with the &#8220;I have the commendations&#8221; remark. Once again, this individual shows that Shane Kunzeman refuses to take ownership of his actions.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">If this is Shane Kunzeman himself, then he truly is not apologetic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>According to someone that served with him, Shane Kunzeman spent most of his time in the front leading rest position. For the non-Army types, this is the position that someone takes for doing push-ups. Also, they determined that the quality of his service didn&#8217;t warrant his receiving an ETS award.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s even funnier is how he made a point with Shane, with regards to the actual parting gift that he received.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Originally posted by <b>Carlos:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I did give him a parting gift for his service to our country. <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>I let him keep his canteen cup from CIF. I told him he may need it when he&#8217;s in the &#8220;soup line&#8221;.<\/strong><\/span> No, shit, I gave him a canteen cup. As I expected, he may use it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Carlos pointed out, as we have noted in the post about him, that Shane brought all this upon himself.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Here&#8217;s what Jonn said in his original article:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=77510\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-77510\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-77510\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Shane-Kunzeman-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Shane-Kunzeman-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Shane-Kunzeman-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Shane-Kunzeman-332x333.jpg 332w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Shane-Kunzeman.jpg 367w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center>Our partners at <a href=\"https:\/\/militaryphony.com\/2018\/02\/04\/shane-kunzeman-us-army-ranger-blog-of-shame\/\">Military Phonies<\/a> send us their work on this fellow, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Yournewlifeinc\/\">Shane Kunzeman<\/a>, who operates a resume writing business called Your New Life.
