<\/a><\/p>\nThe folks at Military Phony<\/a> send us their work on Robert Gene Hayes<\/a>, who claims to have served in Vietnam, was in both the US Marine Corps and US Army Special Forces, worked in a “Black Ops” unit and was wounded in combat.<\/p>\n Bob posts a lot of Vietnam-themed photos to his page but doesn’t label them – for instance – as him or his unit.<\/p>\n Bob also wears a lot of Marine Corps bling…<\/p>\n He also mixes and matches Marine Corps and US Army Special Forces bling…<\/p>\n Although this is some historical recreation, he still mixes and matches Marine Corps and Army Special Forces…<\/p>\n In this photo, he wears a “CENTRAL COAST VIETNAM VETERAN” ball cap…<\/p>\n Here he wears a “1st MARINE VIETNAM VETERAN” ball cap…<\/p>\n And here another “VIETNAM VETERAN” ball cap…<\/p>\n Then, of course, the “PURPLE HEART VIETNAM VETERAN” ball cap…<\/p>\n His wife is proud of Bob’s military accomplishments and posted about them…<\/p>\n Then there is the “Black Ops” stuff normally one can’t talk about…<\/p>\n Had that Huey not been parked out back, she may be telling a different story.\u00a0 How lucky can one be?<\/p>\n Someone asked Bob about the Marine Corps claim…<\/p>\n One huge discrepancy is that all of Robert’s time since he graduated from High School in 1973 is accounted for.<\/p>\n Hayes got a football scholarship to Nebraska.\u00a0 His name showed up in the Nebraska newspapers and team rosters from 1973 to 1977.<\/p>\n 1973 RECRUITING CLASS<\/strong>:\u00a0 https:\/\/www.huskermax.com\/recruits\/1973.html<\/a><\/p>\n PLAYER PROFILE:<\/strong>\u00a0 https:\/\/dataomaha.com\/huskers\/player\/5366\/bob-hayes<\/a><\/p>\n 1974 PLAYERS:<\/strong> https:\/\/dataomaha.com\/huskers\/class\/1974<\/a><\/p>\n 1975 ARTICLE:\u00a0 <\/strong>https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/hayes-lincoln-star.jpg<\/a><\/p>\n 1977 PLAYERS:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.huskermax.com\/rosters\/1977-roster\/<\/a><\/p>\n In fact, when he played in the inter-scrimmage RED-WHITE GAME, it was a mere couple of weeks before they evacuated the embassy in Saigon.<\/p>\n Hayes’ time is accounted for from 1973-1977, playing football and going to college in Nebraska, but yet he claims he was in Vietnam serving his country.<\/p>\n How could this be?<\/p>\n Robert Gene Hayes’ military records were ordered through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.\u00a0 NPRC said “who?”<\/p>\n This case is a head-scratcher.<\/p>\n Who would not be proud of playing football for Nebraska?\u00a0 Or maybe that is presumptuous and there is some reason to adopt the “US Marine Corps-Vietnam Vet-US Army Special Forces-Black Ops” persona?<\/p>\n The answer may lie in the now-defunct website http:\/\/adviceforveterans.com\u00a0 \u00a0It can still be accessed from 2011 – 2013 on the internet Wayback Machine: http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120331142232\/http:\/\/adviceforveterans.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n
