Also, on women: they tend to lie about being domestic abuse victims or sexual abuse survivors, rather than vets.

Of course, many women are telling the truth about being abused, just as many men did serve in vietnam. But there are definitely women out there making this stuff up, and they have the same characteristics as the fake male vet: a need for attention, greed, grandiosity, and a feeling the world owes them something.

The fakers are storytellers and they use their experience as excuses. The more dramatic and more emotive the story, and the more it is used as a means to an end (attention, money, getting out of trouble), the more likely it is to be false.

I do not quite see the discovery of Stolen Valor as a function of pointing fingers as much as a discovery of those who are pointing a finger at themselves. It is safe to say that this phenomena is a pretty esoteric one for those who bled. The growth thing would be another subject. In the interim we pray for them.

LOL. You nailed that one Andy!
Remember the Dean of the College of Business at the U of A whose credentials were not quite in order? And one of the former Chancellors at Pima who also feigned his Masters or PhD?

I guess I better not tell you I am 1/8th Chippewa!

Not to be a contrarian but… The part about women not stealing identities is wrong. In fact, the same problem exists with women only it’s far more insidious, to complete their identity they steal babies not medals. My theory is that in these situations both Men and Women seek some sort validation from society as an archetype of what is acceptable. Men want to be seen as the traditional hero/protector and what better way to be a stud, then to be a decorated combat vet. Women seek a different validation, manifested in the sanctity of motherhood and therefore steal babies.
Just a theory.

For those that were or are truly there, is not the growth of your experience more important, than pointing fingers? Does your experience become the discovery of the blasphemers or does it become the journey to your destiny?

We just busted another guy in Philly named Andrew Diabo posing as a Marine LtCol/CH-53 pilot/Wounded Vet/Silver Star/West Point Grad and special ops type guy. He submitted fake orders to avoid losing his house. The best part of this story is that he is Canadian and has fled back North.
These guys kill me.

I agree Andy. It is sad. Born of a self hatred that can only be cured by a spiritual renewal of the person themselves. Accepting ones value without the frosting that a particular community seems to require. If you want to have self-esteem, do esteemable acts. The most esteemable act one can do is serve another of God’s creations.

Anyone who serves, combat or not should be proud of their service.

The three areas people lie about are military service, claiming Native American heritage and college degrees.

Sad.
