The original post points out something that always amazes me- why is it that most of these imposters look like the kind of guy who would be an imposter? I mean really - how many Bubblebutts are 11B SSGs in the Ranger Regiment? That guy would catch the eye of every grunt in America, and then the rest of the stuff (the CIB with multiple awards first off) would then confirm it. What a toad.
I do wonder though why this has become such a huge deal? For the most part- who really cares about these nitwits? Why would you go out of your way to worry one way or the other about them unless they are publicly "slapping you in the face" with it like this guy was, illegally making money off the deal or are politicians making false claims, or something of that ilk. There are a few folks out there who really seem to make exposing this their life's work, but for the most part it seems like a huge tempest in a teapot and when somebody is that fanatatical about something like this- I gotta wonder about them too?
