A Denver-based veterans organization has voted to disband after accusing its founder of fabricating an identity as a former Marine captain who served three tours in Iraq and was at the Pentagon on 9/11.
Thirty-two-year-old Richard Glen Strandlof, who used the name Rick Duncan, founded the organization, the Colorado Veterans Alliance, about two years ago.
Major Carl Redding, spokesman for the U.S. Marines, said there is no record of Richard Glen Strandlof or Rick Duncan serving in the Marines.
Strandolf appeared several times as a campaign spokesperson attacking Republicans in 2008 on national security issues.
Colorado Republican State Chairman Dick Wadhams said "It is appalling that Mark Udall and other Colorado Democrats were either willfully deceptive or terribly careless in using an imposter posing as a veteran."
"We now know the shameless lies used against Republicans last year were as credible as this fake veteran,"

It's hard to find vets who are commie ‘Rat bastards that want to commit treason against their country....so they just find a ‘Rat who is willing to lie....LOTS easier as there are just SOOOOOO many to choose from....

Geez, another fake who wouldn't pass the smell test. He claimed to be a 1997 grad of the Naval Academy, which would have him graduating at about age 19. He also claimed three tours in Iraq AND to have been in the Pentagon on 9-11. Wow, he must have been some kind of fast burner to have been posted to the Pentagon instead of a line unit as a 1LT or Captain! Then he claimed to have been blown up in a Humvee and had a hip replacement and metal plate in his head! Wow, he sure got around in 12 years! In his spare time he claimed he built a $30+ thousand vets organization in Colorado, although no one ever saw more than a dozen of them.
Of course, the Rats turned a blind eye to all warning indicators and used him to claim veteran support for their anti-war screed. The "jounalists" were complicit also.
He ran a fundraising scam in Nevada when not in a mental hospital. His "homeless vets" operation in Colorado was just another scam.
Udall, Polis and the rest are just scum the way they use these fakes to deceive voters into thinking there is any significant vet support for their far left crapola on military and foreign policy issues.

Like Ronnie said: It is not that Democrats don't know much. It is that everything they know is wrong.
They seem to just live in make believe land.

Wow, he must have been some kind of fast burner to have been posted to the Pentagon instead of a line unit as a 1LT or Captain! No doubt. You see very few Captains around the building...most are here just before they put on Major.

Sure. At four years out in the Army I'd expect him to be in a line unit or in the Advanced Course, where they learn how to command a company and do staff assignments. It sounds like when real not fake vets got around him they started sniffing the b.s. pretty quick.
I don't think Dem politicians or "journalists" have b.s. detectors; they'll believe any cock and bull story any faker wants to peddle, no matter how outlandish.

I would bet that the MSM would have promoted every second of his bashing the former administration.
