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.

Cough, cough, bullshit, cough, cough.
Most impressive award yet was his Defense of Helms Deep from the Dark One’s orc army. Many sons of Rohan died that day, my friends…all because the CIA leaked information to the Urik’hai.
Facepalm.
You know, it occurs to me that the best way to deal with Major Disaster here is to write some “reviews” of his book on Amazon’s site.
I think I’ll do a bit of “creative” writing later today and see what kind of a “critical” review i can write there. 🙂
I’m sure he led a team of Bothans at the Robespierre Gap during the Rebellion, too.
What??
It says he served in both HHC and C Co of 3/7 Inf? but that’s a active duty Inf unit. I was with 3/7 Inf for the invasion of Iraq. Or back in the 80’s were the colors of 3/7 assigned to a training unit?
Moron.
How fucking brain-dead do you have to be to spend EIGHT YEARS in as an officer and never make it past First Lieutenant?
Oh wait, maybe I’ll ask Choi.
book written in 2007, it has rocketed up to #7,089,824 in the bestseller list. Bet he’s getting rich off all those sales! Discounted to $19.99 too! I love the rebuttal testimonials to the two negative reviews. Fiction is fun!
Well, at least MY books are higher in rank than his. Mine are at #1,194,028 on the best selleer list. So there! 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 (gigglesnort)
Bwahahahahahahahahaha….
I see the FOIA response says he has “airbourne” training. Technically, that means “a river of air.” Appropriate, somehow.
I was valedictorian of my CPR class. No shit.
Looks like “Ranger” Burrell has some competition.
OMG found his love me page, get ready for it

And he’s a 9-11, US Government did it guy
Sean-
That’s funny- the guy who ‘invented’ CENTCOM has his page BLOCKED by CENTCOM.
Fitting, somehow. All is in balance…
He was the last surviving Spartan at the Battle of Thermopylae even though that CIA spy Ephialtes of Trachis showed Xerxes the secret pathway.
I left a stellar review of this book on Amazon.
A true Renaissance man. And by Renaissance man I mean he should be shot through the head with an arrow. What an incredible tool bag.
Nothing says ‘casual’ like the folded arm pose…
In dress blues
who ever…??? Was this taken at Glamour Shots?
Doc Savage, your review was most helpful. I give it 5 stars.
I got nuthin.
Lolol “Based on a true story that inspired a movie”.
This dude has GOT to be in top tier of candidates of this year’s running, no?
Dear God, why didn’t his publisher at least do a little homework on the guy before investing in him?
@24.Hey HS Sophomore. Were you going by a different tag here and changed it?
I’m guessing that the book is self-published, judging by the $20 price tag on the paperback version – and the illiterate way the author’s bio is written. If you waste five minutes reading what’s available on Amazon, you’d know that no legitimate publisher would approve that crap.
The publisher is Kennedy Productions.
Why would someone who was obviously being groomed for one of the top slots in the Corporation choose to get out?
Maybe the answer is in the book…
@26, so he self produced the book and went to one of those “vanity” publishers to have it printed? Or is it a pamphlet he had done at Kinkos? lol, I hope he hasn’t made back his money yet.
@27, maybe he should think about publishing children’s books?

But an autographed copy might be cool…..
Up there with field grade posers who give out their own coins.
ah, 21, you got the Doc Savage ref in before me…. curse you!
Army BCT Units typically get cream of the crop NCOs and dud Officers. Getting put out as a 1LT is akin to an Enlisted Man getting thrown out as an E2 or E3 after multiple years of service, too! We had a real dud of an officer in my Unit that no one wants to talk about anymore, he left after being a 1LT for over six years, and I place this assclown in the same boat!
Q: What’s the difference between a 1LT and a PFC?
A: The PFC has been promoted TWICE!!
How soon does the tourney start?
@25, yeah, for a couple of posts. How come?
It’s refreshing to see that enlisted aren’t the only side that has delusional shit-bags in their ranks.
@35. Because you write as if you’ve been here a long time and yet I don’t recall seeing that “HS Sophomore” tag until recently. Are you really a kid?
@37-yeah, I’ve been a big fan of TAH for about six months now. I’ve met a lot of the stolen valor types, and they piss me off. Haven’t got anyone in the family who’s got an extended military career, but I know some things, and I like to read these articles. And yeah, I’m exactly what I say I am, a high school sophomore (15 yrs., I can get my permit in 3 months). Thanks for your service, by the way.
If he had claimed to be a RECON SEAL Delta Force Commando I would have thrown the flag on him.
@32, how can you NOT make Cpt in a career field as big as 11A? Hell, I was always told officer promotions up to Cpt were pretty much rubber stamped, and it wasn’t until O-4 and beyond that things got hard and people started worrying about QMP. Hell, our HHC commander in Korea had been passed over once for Maj, and after a KATUSA got squashed by a deuce and a half in the BN trains, and he was found partially at fault, he was surly going to get passed over a second time.
Interim Battalion Commander = The Colonel is going for a hair cut. If the phone rings, answer it.
There’s something called ‘vaingloriousness’, means ‘inflated ego’. You can see that in the various and sundry SV POSers who show up on these pages. They’re the source of gas that inflates the airbags in your car if you hit something. They don’t understand the difference between just telling a good story that you were part of, and trying to pull of complete BS.
So on top of poor story construction in his book, his ego trip and conspirator-crazy meme make him ridiculous. Maybe he’s just making up for things he didn’t do. And he paid BookSurge, which is a crappy, low-level, and expensive vanity press to publish this piece of junk for him when he could have simply hired an editor. So it’s now 6 years AFTER the stupid, poorly-written book was released. He’s got all those copies in the basement and has to get rid of them somehow or wifey/girlfriend will throw them into a barrel in the back yard and set fire to them.
If you’re going to write your autobiography, take a lesson from Heringway and get to the point. And for Pete’s sake, don’t make an ass of yourself where people can see you and point at you and laugh.
$20 for a soft cover book? The max price for soft cover books, even for ’50 Shades of Grey’, is $15 to $17, depending on number of pages. ’50 Shades’ is 528 pages and goes for about $16. This idiot’s book is 326 pages and he wants 20% more? Yeah, good luck with that.
He is seriously disturbed.
Doc Savage, your review gave me a helluva a laugh!
I checked out this guys “production company” page since I am currently a film student at one of the better film programs around the west coast. Same company that “published” his book. Book that inspired the movie, my ass. It’s easy to make a film about a story you wrote when you own the company, except his “production company” is really just him with a shitty handycam doing his friend’s weddings and parties. Nothin professional about his company at all. Doesn’t even have producers or equipment listed. This guy is a few steps well below you tube quality, but he’s tryin’ to pose as a Hollywood pro. It’s one thing to piss of vets. It’s another thing to piss of Hollywood at the same time. REMFtard…
@38. Ok, pal. Just watch yourself around here. We were all kids once –and that’s precisely why you are warned! Some of us get gruff and spicy sometimes.
@44-Don’t worry, I’ve got it well in hand. I go to a Jesuit HS-I’m used to it. Being called an asshole by a teacher-that will prep you for anything in the big bad World Wide Web 🙂
What #42 PH2 said to Doc S. Nice job, that 1LT is a douche, and a bedwetter, too.
You guys really are somewhat verbose in your comments.
Quite simply: this clown takes it in the ass.
Simple, concise and to the point.
@45. Jesuits, huh? They can be rough. I tried Latin for Idiots but it still didn’t take.
@46-yeah, I did two semesters of Latin freshman year. One of the hardest classes I ever took. I’m back in the arms of Spanish now-much easier!
Sorry-I meant @49
