I didnt study it before, I only saw the two medals which meant he graduated from boot camp (National Defense Ribbon) and made it 3 years without getting caught (Good Conduct Medal), but once I studied it, look at the uniform errors of his:

First, his medals aren't on straight, they hang straight in the shot, but they are supposed to be parallel with his pocket flap/ at a right angle to his blouse flap where the buttons go, and they clearly are not.

Second, look at the medals, look at their height above the pocket! WAY TOO HIGH!! Phony placement of medals shows either a sloppy former Marine or a phony, I choose phony, he would have made the effort to pin them on right just to prove he was a legit former Marine who opposed the war.

Third, look to his right chest: What is that? A SEA SERVICE DEPLOYMENT RIBBON?? On the RIGHT SIDE?? There is no way a Marine would have put such an insignificant ribbon on his right side, that is reserved for Combat issue awards.

These things tell me this is more than just a disgruntled Grunt who got out and still fit in his blues while dating some puke drug addict Kurt Cobain fan, he is a PHONY!

His haircut's out of regs, and he's also missing the belt for his blues blouse.

What do all the above pictures have in common? (Other than that putrid stench of Communism?) Most of those idiots haven't had to yet pay a bill or run a household.

Zactly!

Thanks for confirming suspicions.

"3 years without getting caught "

Jees, was it 3 yrs or 4, somehow I'm remembering it at 4, but it's been 30 some yrs ago. Younger minds should know.

And what is a "A SEA SERVICE DEPLOYMENT RIBBON?? "

New made up thing, like the Aircrew wings they started giving out when the young troopies couldn't win the Combat Air Crew wings.

do they still can the NDSM the Fire watch ribbon??

Good catch with the misplaced ribbon. Future Kerry-type pres candidate.

No Marine would ever be photographed with a skank like that.

[MarineBrat]

You're right, the image was inaccurate. I have repaired the inaccuracy and reposted...

Race,

Thanks for the ping, and I agree something doesn't look right about this "Marine". First of all, I agree those medals are pinned too high. Also, check out the clump of hair behind the ear. It looks like a punk haircut, grown out. In my day that was sloppy.

Regards and semper fidelis,

Probably a fraud, but if he is for real, he probably got booted for being a SHITBIRD, or worse.
