Until then, I **CAN** verify that he is [at minimum] a FReeper in good standing, from MULTIPLE personal encounters -- LIVE, in person. Yeah--in between all that SF training and 3 deployments to 'the front' *snicker* in Iraq....
Can he still be a Freeper in Good Standing for impersonating an SF officer online?
Which is more than I can say about YOU.
Hey, I'm just a pogue now in the National Guard--I may have posted my rank at some point, but not a name.
Until this thread, I have never heard from you, and I certainly have not been out there "in the streets" FReeping with YOU, as I have with Captain Mike.
SFW... It'll only heighten your sense of betrayal when you realize he conned you.
No offense intended
Riiiight.

Well, if this is true, he conned Hannity as well.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm thinking this is a hoax. On the one thread, the soldier is posting himself, and thanking God for wireless, on this one, he has dictated his message -- pretty much the selfsame message -- prior to "losing consciousness." Something's amiss here.

This would make sense if it were a hoax. Once the Captain saw all of the suspicion on the other thread, he quickly sent an e-mail to RonDog posing as a Lt. in order to have an excuse not to answer any of the objections: "lost consciousness".

Dude, give it a rest. For all anyone knows it could be someone else using his FR cookie from a shared computer to humiliate him. The wireless reference means he's not on NIPR and private internet service US forces/Iraq is rare enough that everyone shares it, often via a shared default login. Since his name is apparently known maybe an Active Duty FReeper can look him up on AKO, or aren't SOCOM members listed?
I admit it would be quite unusual for someone to post for him in the first person. Also, the "under-reported" is likely bs, since most people here get their 'reporting' from CENTCOM and their Command, not the MSM. He might have meant CENTCOM is under-reporting, which wouldn't be completely false, just unlikely.
The worst thing imo is, as you mentioned, his name/affiliation. Why-in-the-H would someone use their command (or private company) in their screen name? People are so politicized nowadays who'd want to be the psycho-play thing of some media-crazed-liberal still enraged over Gore2000?
I'll give the guy at the rally the benefit of the doubt. The online person and latest communication could be someone else.
