Leader Of Veterans Group Posed As Marine : Veteran Was Democratic Spokesman During '08 Campaign
TheDenverChannel ^ | May 14, 2009

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,"

What’s the deal with lying about your service to your country? A while back, I was on a camping trip and one of the guys thought I had served in the Gulf War (I had not, but served in the National Guard later on). I took great pains to let him know I wasn’t over there. How hard is it for people to not lie about their service?

A Denver-based veterans organization

It wasn't a "veterans organization", It was a moonbat organization with a fake name.

Tattoo a big letter "L" on his forehead.

It could stand for "Liar", "Loser", "Lunatic" ...

I figure that when you take that oath you never know how it’s going to turn out. All by itself, it takes a decent amount of courage to enlist. Thank you for your service.

Bad enough that losers pose as Special Forces/SEALs et al... but posing as a Marine? That’s asking for a major arse kicking!

Gives 'em added credibility. Good for all sorts of things, like becoming a protester, a politician, a news source for CNN, and for picking up hot chicks.

You're welcome, but I REALLY didn't do anything worth noting (no, this is not false humility...I mostly cleaned latrines and picked up cigarette butts in an NG HQ Engineering Unit from 1994-2000, well before 9/11).

Let's just say my service was "honorable but not distinguished".
