View Full Version : Fake Army Ranger gets called out... On video..
Doesn't help that he sounds dumb as a rock.
I am not a fan of poser at all. I see posers all day on the road. (see my signature)
Although it was funny to see poser getting called on, I DO NOT appreciate him cussing the fake poser out.
Glad that this guy (person who is confronting) was living in the US. IF he was cussing in front of some kids in the 3rd world country, he would've been ASP'ed w/26" baton on his face. Leave the guy who is confronting with $45k worth of cosmetic/reconstruction surgery.
This really gets me.
Why wear a fake military uniform to find women/girls at a local community college? (video appear to look like local jr community college)
This poser idiot should've wore Blue Chip company uniform polo. It would've got him hotter/cuter/better chicks.
Of course, he has to buy a fake business cards with number as well. If her friend ask Cisco/GE employee to find their name at the directory, they can simply say
"My name is not on the company 411"

There is a time and place for everything. Using the NSFW language in front of kids to call someoone out was a little out of line IMHO.
I totally see where he's coming from, and because he lost friends in combat, I understand his passion and intense emotion, however, much as I hate posers and impostors, I agree, he didn't have to swear as much, if at all. Yet and still, anyone who puts on the uniform who has not earned that right (IMHO a uniform is not yet complete without belonging to a unit and putting on that unit patch) is a colossal POS, and should be tarred and feathered in public for all to see.
Fuck that. The guy had EVERY right to cuss him out ANYWHERE! I get tired of all the PC BS. Kids hear cussing everyday worse than anything that guy said and for much less of a reason. To have that be what is being called out tells me you don't get it and probably never served. That man paid for the right to wear the uniform in his own sacrifices and in the sacrifices of those around him. Many times that sacrifice was the ultimate. The fact that he was ONLY cussing is a testament to his reserve. You learn in the first 24hrs to always have a cover on and to have your ID. Those that claim to have served and did not, should do hard time. Those that defend it in ANY way should get a beat down.
Cussing..... Really???? That is what you took away from that video? Incredible.

He did and I applaud him. Rangers and any others who have served for real are not part of the demise of our armed forces to be "kinder and gentler". If you were in, you know what I mean by that statement. If you don't your response will show it.

Yeah... I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the "F-word" pretty well takes the place of the comma, exclamation point and period in most grunt's vocabulary. It's a habit that takes a long time to break. Roll with it and turn your disgust on to the no-talent ass clown trying to claim recognition he didn't earn.

By this logic if everyone in your unit was sodomizing each other on their down time it is acceptable and normal.

Hound, you're barking up the wrong tree. There are more than a couple who posted in this thread in disagreement with you who served.
By this logic if everyone in your unit was sodomizing each other on their down time it is acceptable and normal.
Respectfully disagree. Language, in and of itself, does not possess any inherent evil or "badness". Rather it is what's in one's heart that establishes intent. For example, one may say to another "bless your heart" but secretly hold ill-will against the person to whom they are speaking. Meanwhile, a friend may jokingly call another "a dumb sumbitch". Which of these statements reveals the true heart of the speaker? Law of Nature, meanwhile, makes it pretty clear that homosexuality is an aberration of normal behavior. So to compare language and homosexuality as being on the same moral scale is incorrect, I think.
To me, these guys simply put the fear of God in the dude. Perhaps he'll think twice before putting that tab on next time he heads out the door.
Finally, found a good quote by Patton on use of language.
"When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember."
Remark to his nephew about his copious profanity, quoted in "The Unknown Patton" (1983) by Charles M. Province, p. 184

I have many times put the "fear of god" in someone with out violence or swearing. Swearing is not required for that. This is not to say that I don't swear. I do. Typically at customers cars. But I don't in front of a customer. It is called self discipline.
I have been out with some guys and we were cussing while we talked to each other. Then a family sat next to us. So when I noticed them coming over to sit I told the rest of the guys "Family show now" and the swearing stopped.
There is a time a place for cussing and swearing. One of the times that it is not appropriate is when you are chewing on someone. Don't care if he is a poser or not. Still not appropriate.

It's commemorative. I don't have one but I think it's meant to honor the men and women of the 10th.
From the DMV website
About: This commemorative plate recognizes the men from the 10th Mountain Division who fought in the Italian Campaign of 1945.

My $.02:
As others have stated, a grunt will usually punctuate with a few expletives between the growls, barks, and "hoahs", and it took me a couple of years to break the habits (some of which still remain after 19+yrs) [LOL]. The guy was obviously passionate, and emotions took over his brain/mouth. Who hasn't had that happen?
Either way; another scumbag was exposed (I think they smelled blood at the AR670-1 blank stare), which I think should be the main point.

next they could have commemerative Seal, Recon, and Ranger license plates. You want to commemerate these units or these VETS? Join the military and actually do something and get in these units, no live off somebody elses sacrifice and heroism. I think the plate is bullshit.

I think a seal team 6 plate showing bin laden with a hole in his head might be catchy.
Used to have to prove that your family homesteaded here in order to get Pioneer plates too.

U.S. Army Ranger Arrested For Calling Out Stolen Valor Offender
http://www.funker530.com/u-s-army-ranger-arrested-for-calling-out-stolen-valor-offender/
Ok. I was in 75th and here is my take on it. I don't think the language was foul, especially for a grunt. While it looked bad for the poser, if he would have been in a town by one of the 3 Ranger battalions, there would have been no words spoken. Just an ass beating. No cop would have said shit either. The poser was lucky, the ranger calling him out was reserved. There are a million ways we can armchair quarterback this but until it offends friends you watched die, you have no idea how you'll react. Keep posting your "I would have done this, or that" stories here...I treat them as the same words from the poser.

I'm sorry did you just say I was equivalent to a poser? Just want to check before I start laughing.
For all of you complaining about language.. Here is a special report on training for 18B's.. (and before it starts - yes I know 18B != Rangers, but you get the idea)

It seems the campus police also had a problem with his language.
I have many times put the "fear of god" in someone with out violence or swearing. Swearing is not required for that. This is not to say that I don't swear. I do. Typically at customers cars. But I don't in front of a customer. It is called self discipline.

There is a time a place for cussing and swearing. One of the times that it is not appropriate is when you are chewing on someone. Don't care if he is a poser or not. Still not appropriate.
And as I suspected your response shows where you are. Funny with a name like "teamldr" but the "Gommer" pic is appropriate... Playing at being a soldier. (BTW: I got to meet "Gommer" out in Hawaii a couple years back when my captain got his 4th star and took over PACFLT). Maybe this world would be a better place if a few more "fucks!!" were called out more often. Those that are easily offended seem to be the same ones that never served. When you go through the service you remember somebody 2" off your face doing everything they can to break you, get you to cry, say "no".... anything.... And that was just basic training. Those Rangers take a "Fuck You" as a friendly greeting in the morning. They do this so you learn that when you are told to do something.... Nobody is asking.... You don't have an opinion, your feelings are nothing / no place here; the only right you have is to do what you were told or get your ass beat. ANYBODY on this forum that says they served and this does not happen is lying. Pure and simple. You don't leave that behind when you get out. You might mello out a bit but it all comes back when you meet another that served in any branch. Especially one Ranger to another. A real Ranger would have stood toe-to-toe and defended himself. The true disrespect is anybody that watches that video and takes cussing as the issue. Anybody that served probably had to go back to watch the video to see what you were talking about. If you did not serve and you are thinking "Why are you being so rough on the guy? They'er just clothes." You just don't get it and never will. Keep playing soldier but don't think for a minute that you are or have ANY right to say you ever have been..... You don't.
To be honest, watching the video, I didn't even notice the language. I kept waiting for ol' boy to take a swing at the poser. The fact that he didn't hit the guy, or pick him up and help him change clothes, kind of surprised me. Had this happened at an elementary school, I may feel different, but college? Come on.
Also, on a side note... how many posers have we seen publicly called out and busted now? Wouldn't you try some new gig to get girls? This one doesn't seem worth it.

At least he's being profane for something worthwhile. How many gang bangin pukes you hear saying worse for no other cause than to further prove their ignorance?
I'll say this, you fuckers have got me to thinking. I tried to enlist in the Marines when i was 17, but mom wasn't signing anything for me. Being a kid, by the time I was 18 I had other ideas and ended up going to Bible school (Bob Jones Univ) for two years before dropping out and enlisting as an 18X in the Army. I went to MEPs and swore in, but had a bad accident involving my ankle about 2 weeks before I shipped out . That kept me out. Doc said the ankle would never sustain a parachute jump. Admittedly, wearing metal rods through my entire left leg for the next 4 months kinda took my fighting spirit away from me. I ended up graduating community college with a couple degrees in Gen Studies and Computer Security. Shortly after that I got a job that led to me moving first to MN and then here to CO. Today I'm a Sr. Sys Engineer in title, but I find IT not as fulfilling as I'd hoped. Many times over the years I have found myself wondering if I missed out. Well, I turn 35 at the end of June and that's the cutoff age for joining the Army with no prior exp. However I find myself now with a mortgage, a lucrative FT job, and a German Shepherd. Additionally I'm not very fond of the idea of serving under the current Commander In Chief. If I were to enlist, I'd want to go 11B or something similar, but that doesn't seem to be an option for Reserves. In short, time isn't on my side any longer. I don't want to be 60 and regret having never served my country as a veteran, but doing so is a huge decision at this point and would mean total upheaval of so much of what I've worked for/towards for the last 10+ years. What do you assholes think? What advice can you veterans offer?

Through different routes but kind of the same story here...
By the time I made up my mind and I thought of joining at least the NG I was told I am too old and too fat...
I wish I had the chance.
Mortgage...You can buy another house down the road
Money...it's only money, you can make more later
The puppy is a different story, but maybe some friends/relatives?
In your shoes I'd follow my heart.
What do you assholes think? What advice can you veterans offer?
There are many many many more ways to help our country and our service men/women than by signing-up. Not that its a bad option - but don't limit yourself to thinking you have to pull a trigger to make a difference. One great way you can help is to volunteer your time on base teaching classes or mentoring folks who want to learn what you have to say (you have a degree in computer security and that is a highly sought after skill right now). Help put on career events.. Get your employer involved with military hiring.. There are a thousand things you can do. All you really need to do is just ask.
That said - if you want to skew your career slightly you can always turn your talents to helping the DoD. Lots of contractors hiring, lots of work to be done. You would be surprised at the amount of good you can do without putting on a uniform.
There's always the guard. With a degree you could even look into being a lazy, no account, entitled, jerk off (read as:Officer) ;)
That's kinda what I'm thinking. Although, I only have two Associate degrees so I don't think I'd qualify for Officer enlistment. With the Guard I admit I'm nervous about the possibility of being ordered to take part in disarming my fellow Americans, especially going the equiv of infantry. Maybe it's unwarranted, but it's kind of a lingering fear. I may head over to the NG recruiter in the next couple weeks and see what's up. Thank you for the input, fellas.
next they could have commemerative Seal, Recon, and Ranger license plates. You want to commemerate these units or these VETS? Join the military and actually do something and get in these units, no live off somebody elses sacrifice and heroism. I think the plate is bullshit.
Calm down dude, I don't make or sell the plates.

Although I'm not (nor have I ever been) assigned to any sort of special unit, I get a special angry feeling in the pit of my stomach when I see the stupidity displayed by the poser in that video.
I do agree with TeamLeader, though. There are ways to be intimidating without yelling, screaming, swearing, cursing, etc.
Deeds, Not Words.
next they could have commemerative Seal, Recon, and Ranger license plates. You want to commemerate these units or these VETS? Join the military and actually do something and get in these units, no live off somebody elses sacrifice and heroism. I think the plate is bullshit.
I agree... As a modern-era 10th Mtn vet I don't like the plates, personally. I don't have them on my car, but I do have a 10th Mtn sticker... I keep my Army plates for now.

Hound - I think you may need to gear down buddy. You're talking shit about people who you have no idea what their background is. A few people who have disagreed with you in this thread are true vets and it's for that reason they feel no need to get in a dick measuring contest with you. They are proud, honorable men who don't need to prove themselves to people on the internet. They may disagree with you but they are not going to disrespect you simply because of your opinion. I didn't serve but I'm willing to bet these same guys developed that high level of respect for others because of their service.
They may not need to prove themselves to you but I will certainly not keep my mouth shut while you disrespect them.
it wasnt directed at you. at all.

Eh, he could have done without the language, but who cares? That poser got a lot less than he deserves.
There are many many many more ways to help our country and our service men/women than by signing-up. Not that its a bad option - but don't limit yourself to thinking you have to pull a trigger to make a difference. One great way you can help is to volunteer your time on base teaching classes or mentoring folks who want to learn what you have to say (you have a degree in computer security and that is a highly sought after skill right now). Help put on career events.. Get your employer involved with military hiring.. There are a thousand things you can do. All you really need to do is just ask.
That said - if you want to skew your career slightly you can always turn your talents to helping the DoD. Lots of contractors hiring, lots of work to be done. You would be surprised at the amount of good you can do without putting on a uniform.
Word. Lots of things you can do to serve your country or serve those who serve/served, which IMO is just as important.

When I got my HD Veteran plates I took out my 214 to show them and they said "Oh you don't need that " WTF !!!!
I had to show mine. Now the new car is getting the DS plates. I will take a copy but since they may have a copy on file we will see.
And I noticed the deal about no documentation for the Pioneer plates as well.
Sounds like you are speaking from first had experience...[ROFL2]
Wait, wearing Cisco clothes gets you laid???? What about Juniper?
I have first hand experience in this matter.. Juniper - not so much, unless you like dirty bull-dyke lesbians.
LOL.
When I was working at XYZ company and wore their uniform on Friday, one girl asked me.
"Do you work at XYZ?"
Remember, this was when I was in early-mid 20s. The XYZ only let us wear that on Casual Friday. Suit and ties on Mon-Thurs. :(
BTW, I went out on a date few times with girl who use to work at Cisco System around 2001. She was an HR, but she got laid off year later. Good looking too. Too bad.
I gave her the typical CISCO WORSHIP. Back then Cisco was THE biggest company by market cap too! :)
I think Juniper Network uniform would've been more popular during 1999-2005 for sure.
Huge fan (almost was a fanboy 15 years ago) of JNPR as well.
I believe what asmo said. Not a lot of young cute chicks who live outside of silicon valley knows Juniper Network. Maybe old mature women who use to work at wall street might know Juniper Network.
I understand his anger, but her should have kept his language in check.
You old farts don't understand that those words are no longer as vulgar as they once were. They are now just common adjectives for the younger generations.

So glad I don't play multiplayer on XBox. My virgin ears wouldn't be able to take it.

They can and will speak for themselves. Coming from somebody who never served, you only show ignorance of something you will never understand. I have had this exact conversation with many who have and are serving. They served in the Battle of the Bulge, Vietnam behind enemy lines, Iraq, etc. In all the years of hearing this topic come up, they have all been dismayed when civilians pose as those who served. It lessens us all who served and your arrogance to claim to speak for them is amazing. You should keep your mouth shut instead of claiming to speak for those who have earned the right. I don't disrespect them, nothing I have said was against a vet. I stand for them, and with them. A lot like the vet in that video.

And with that we need to put this to bed. I fully understand what happened but if you look back through the thread the membership needs to stop eating itself.
Take a look good and hard look what some of you posted and reflect a little. Just like some of the other staff we will be meeting and training our troops tomorrow at 0dark30. [Coffee]
