We got this mess this morning on the career of one Kennedy Uzomba who has written another book, Time For Heroes, about his heroics that supposedly spanned the 80s, 90s and the War Against Terror. At Amazon, he writes about his book;
BASED ON TRUE EVENTS BOURNE SUPREMACY with a SALT twist. This is a classic HIGH Intensity EPIC action-romance suspense thriller that shows how one man’s courage, determination and unbreakable spirit inspired a great nation. It was a time when America needed heroes. While others gave excuses – one man gave everything he had and lost everything to include the love and support of his own family, as duty called him to a higher cause. While developing a plan to protect America, he defies a ruthless Underworld Crime Syndicate to unravel a diabolic plot to cause mass causalities in America. This dangerous spy game attracts plenty of bad guys aimed at eliminating our young hero. It draws together several major world superpowers and their war machines, three determined antagonist, an unyielding protagonist, his fiancée, a spy’s mistress and other supporting characters toward a head-on collision course between forces good and evil. Evil wants control over major oil fields and other resources in Southwest Asia, the Middle East and Central Asia; and good wants to protect his nation. The CARTER DOCTRINE requires the US to protect its interest in the Middle East. There is white-knuckle, nail biting suspense, pulse-pounding thrill and action all throughout our hero’s struggle and rise to fame and power. He falls in love with his college sweetheart Angela, and she too must endure the dark shadows of ruthless treachery that confronts him; but their love for each other grows stronger than any force against them, and like a true soldier she stands by her man until the very end, with a climax which leaves you breathlessly cheering for an encore.
Yeah, I fell asleep just reading the introduction. But he writes this about his military career;
Graduated from Enlisted Basic Training at Fort Dix, N.J. in 1980. Promoted to (E-5) Sergeant at 18 years Old. Distinguished Military Graduate, Class Valedictorian and Cadet Colonel at Canisius College R.O.T.C. Program, 1982; where I received a Second Lieutenant Commission as an Infantry Officer in the United States Army. Developed the Army slogan AN ARMY OF ONE in 1982; and the concepts for THE NATIONAL COMMAND AUTHORITY to transfer responsibility of reserves components to army field commanders. Also developed the concepts for THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY, THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY / NORTHCOM, U.S. CENTRAL COMMAND, U.S. AFRICA COMMAND, etc. Received B.A. in Political Science from the State University of Buffalo N.Y. in 1984. Entered Active Duty Service at Fort Benning, GA in 1984. Graduated Infantry Officer Basic Course in 1984; then assigned to Company B 10th Battalion 2nd Infantry Training Brigade as Company Executive Officer in 1985. Assigned to Charlie Company 3/7th Infantry Battalion (M) as an Infantry Platoon Leader and Company Commander, and later as Interim Battalion and and Interim Brigade Commander for the 197th Infantry in 1987. I sent my plan for the WAR ON TERROR to President Reagan in 1981, where it was instantly approved by the NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL. I was CALLED UPON BY OUR GOVERNMENT in 1998 TO DEVELOP A COORDINATED RESPONSE TO FIGHT GLOBAL TERRORISM which became Operation: ENDURING FREEDOM and Operation: IRQI FREEDOM. Military Education: Took the following courses by correspondence: Army War College; Command & General Staff College; Defense Logistics Course; Military Intelligence Officer Advance Course; Sergeant Majors Academy.Resident Courses include: Infantry Officer Basic Course; Special Forces Qualification Course; Army Ranger Training; Airborne School.
Well, I came up with the slogan “We do more before 9 AM…”, so there.I wonder what an “Interim Commander” does in the 197th Brigade, unless maybe it’s being the staff duty officer at night when everyone else is asleep. And that’s quite a career to rocket from platoon leader to brigade commander in two years.
Anyway, here’s his FOIA;
His career ended before the Gulf War with two years of active duty service, the rest in the Reserves. And it looks like most of his service was spent in a one station unit training (OSUT) basic training company as the Company XO – not that there’s anything wrong with that – but it makes for a boring book, I suppose. I read the first few pages of his book that are available at Amazon (because there’s no way that I’m paying nearly twenty bucks for a paperback book), and I fell asleep three times. According to his story, it took him five months to go from the recruiter’s office to his commissioning. And, as far as I know, recruiters in the 80s didn’t wearing their jungle fatigues from Vietnam to work ten years later.
This guy was actually a 1st Lieutenant in the Army, but he can’t get even the simplest facts right, so I’m pretty sure that he was in a coma most of his career. He was arrested a few years after his service for trying to counterfeit US money and in possession of illegal drugs, but he claims that the CIA and the Secret Service set him up, for some reason. He also credits himself with the “invention” of CENTCOM. I think he may have advised Betsy Ross on the design of the US flag and influenced the Continental Congress to establish the Marine Corps.

What a hero!
Nikko, this had better be a troll and not you…
I think I will purchase this book for bathroom reading..and keep it stored on the cardboard tube “bookshelf”.
what about door gunner on the space shuttle?
@52, I strongly recommend that you find a copy of ‘Extreme Latin’ by Henricus Barbatus (Henry Beard) and buy it.
You will then appreciate just how flexible Latin is, as a language. It’s even more fun to use it to insult people than French or Spanish.
@55-Shakespeare might contest that point with you. I’d say he was the greatest insulter of all time, and he used English. 🙂 Yeah, maybe sometime I’ll pick up Latin again, but probably not right now. Too complicated, and high school is too busy! It’s definitely one of the tougher languages. I give my eternal respect for my friends who have continued to do it Junior year, the busiest year of high school. For now, Spanish. Something I can really use practically (this being California, there’s a ton of people who speak it). Latin, though, has definitely helped me understand the grammar better, so there is that.
I see he is trying to pimp his book by rebutting the reviews on Amazon by sockpuppeting under the moniker “Getmoney” ,,, Looks like he duped some NCOs in writing him some recommendations,,,, Really? It seems that if he was so shit hot he would have a few Colonels or above write the recommendations.
The guy was a Company XO in a recruit training Company,,, And apparently he was such a great leader that Sr NCOs sought out his advice on career paths, Looks like he probably did quite a bit of editing on the Letters of reference he has. They have this gem, supposedly from “George Crositomo”
“When a new Commander (Captain Smith took command) I started to notice a change in how our Company was ran. I observed some very unusual incidents that I felt could have been handled more professional. There were incidents of internal disagreements and violence among the cadre that involved Kennedy Uzomba defending himself like anyone else would. I observed one particular Field Training Exercise that involved Kennedy Uzomba training my men on squad level infantry tactics. Kennedy Uzomba and Captain Smith did get into heated arguments over issues that I was not totally made aware of at that time. I did observe Kennedy Uzomba defend himself after death threats were made on his life over issues that I was not totally made aware of at that time.”
It sounds like Uzomba got shit-canned and fabricated this statement to try to explain it.

How does one do airborne or the Q course via correspondence? Do you like take pictures of yourself doing PLFs or something?
I’m surprised he didn’t bring up the time he robbed the sheriff of Nottingham and gave the proceeds to the local poor folks.
This guy is pushing the word Turd to a whole new level.
@57.
“Crositomo”
Wasn’t that the name of the ship in Alien?
@60 – That was the Nostromo. The ship in the second movie “Aliens” was Sulaco.
@57 – I’d willingly bet at least one thin dime that those ‘recommended’ reviews were written by Uzomba himself under aliases he created, simply because of the manner in which they were written. It matches the writing style in his autobiography.
The Loser says he ” Developed the Army slogan AN ARMY OF ONE in 1982″ It seems that spark a while to catch, since it wasn’t used until 2001. well after he was out.
@61.
The SGM that listed all of his awards was never given anything twice.
How do you spend 28+ years in and only get one AAM?
@63 – Well, if you’re a bull goose looney conspiracy theorist to start with, someone obviously kept you from getting that AAM. And that includes all the other things you’d collect if you had really stayed in that long, like advanced rank and retirement pay, right?
Some of these people can’t even write good fiction. I’ve heard total BS sea stories that were more believable than this guy’s so-called bio book.
@64.
Actually, I am not.
But this day and age, possibly.
I spent a good chunk of time perusing his website. Given the extent this human waste is going to, all for his lies, I have to say- I think this guy is dangerous. I mean, yeah, obviously via all the outing of embellishers/posers by the TAH admins, we’ve seen a clear correlation between SV and other criminal activity. This guy though? I mean real dangerous. I am no psychologist by any means, but this is literally the type of website I would expect a James Holmes or Timothy McVeigh to have.
If he can produce more fantastic lies to support his original lies (which to him- probably don’t seem like lies anymore) what else could he foster support for? I’m sure he could justify pretty much anything to himself at this point, as his ‘lying stick’ is nice and sharp now.
I could be totally wrong, and this guy could be another SV pussy who loves themselves too much to do anything drastic. But- I’m gunna say, I think he’ll be in the news in the future, for very wrong reasons.

Wow. I mean WOW!
I am surprised the good officer here did not have a hand in developing the Army’s SA policy.
@68 GT
He was too busy selling Shinseki on the black beret idea
I can only imagine he probably works for APL to boot.
Know…actually he services Wickere’s wife while Psul watches with a ball gag in his mouth and a chastity lock on his junk
I can’t stop laughing. I was waiting for him to take credit for the the concept of the Bible. Bet he wrote that book from prison.
I went to grade school with this dude. S.S. Peter & Paul, Main St Williamsville, NY 14221
He was a troubled liar back then and still seems to be so today.
Had twin brothers Quentin & I think Wesley, not 100% sure of names but they were 2-3 years younger.
His father was a pharmacist who lived in Buffalo and drove the kids (or sent them in a taxi) every day to the suburbs for school.
Once hit a nun in front of the class.
Was in trouble a lot, major inferiority complex.
Phildo’s right-hand man.
Definitely All Points Logistics material.
Probably alreadyy recruited by the other than honorable COL W. The Third.
I wonder if Obungles and his administration have reached out to Kenny here for his expert take on the declining Ukraine situation.
If only they could lure him away from assisting Commander Phil Monkress and the Dishonorable COL W. at All Points Logistics.
This dude is so awesome.
Not.
I wonder if Obummer has consulted this clown yet on the current crisis in Iraq?
