A star to the Colorado Springs Gazette. http://www.gazette.com/articles/iraq...eople-war.html And to many other liberals. But, guess what - "The leader of a statewide veterans group who fought for homeless veterans in Colorado Springs is in jail in Denver today, unmasked as a former mental patient who posed as a wounded Marine officer and 9/11 survivor. The man who called himself Rick Duncan - purportedly a former Marine captain and 1997 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy - is in fact 31-year-old Richard Glen Strandlof, a former mental patient who never served in the military and falsely claimed that he was in the Pentagon during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, according to David Walsh of the Colorado Veterans Alliance (CVA), which Duncan founded." from:http://thisainthell.us/blog/?p=10619 Lots of other interesting factoids about the fake Marine there. You'll note the YouTube references were deleted. Wonder why? However, a few of his YouTube shots remain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-oiMs9-mTg You gotta love them liberals. -- John H The only thing I can see that could be considered as liberal is his fighting for homeless vets? Is that what irks you? What an asshole. Mental illness, lying and pretending to be something you're not is just as prevalent in the ridiculous right as it is in the limp left. What probably is the most irking feature, is that he's doing it under a false pretense. Is he using his fake service to supposedly get into some arena's? if that's so, then when his deception is uncovered he looses out a lot of credibility why live a lie to do a good work? _____________________ Good point, probably has a lot to do with the mental illness for him to carry his charade that far. There are plenty of fakes out there without mental problems. I've been around a few. Some people seem to inherit others war stories as thier own. If this guy is actually making something happen for homeless vets, I'd cut him a lot of slack. My point was should liberals have a corner on empathy, especially for this specific group of people? Is this below republicans or untouchable because it doesn't fit the "I got mine, so f*&k everyone else" mantra? Fraud is fraud. Do the means justify the ends? Would you tech your kids to do whatever they want to do with the hope that everything will work out for the best in the end? You mean, like Bush did when he decided to invade Iraq? |
