Do You Know This Asshat?

Via a Tweet from Chap... this dude:

Well, there's SO much wrong here I don't know where to begin.  But you can get the full story at Bouhammer's blog.  We'll just post the Readers Digest version here.  The basics:

The milbloggers across the country are uniting today to put out a question to all who read our blogs if anyone knows who this idiot is. The guy you see in the pic above and the ones below was spotted at George R. Brown Convention at the Annise Parker for Houston Mayor Victory Party on 12/12/2009.

This guy is such a fraud, it is not even funny. Let me start with that he portrays himself as a one-star general. Since he has a unauthorized soul-patch goatee, one could only assume he is retired. I am not an age-guessing expert, but I would bet a paycheck this guy is not 40 years old. As an infantryman the first thing I noticed after his goatee was that he has a CIB with two stars on it. The CIB or Combat Infantryman Badge is a coveted badge awarded only to those in the Infantry for performing the job of an infantryman in combat. The CIB is awarded based on periods. The period that covered Vietnam went all the way through Somalia in 1993. The next period was from 2001 through present. For this asshat to have a CIB with two stars means he had to have served in the war in Korea in the 1950s.

We have laws against this sort of fraud.  And fraud it is, make no mistake.  This asshat... more than likely one Michael Patrick MacManus... hasn't stolen any money from anyone, but he's stolen something MUCH worse: the honor and dignity of those servicemen and women who earned the awards he's so cavalierly wearing... and with blatant and obvious disregard for the true meaning of same.  This dude is gonna do some serious time and well he should.  I have NO tolerance for shit like this.  If you check the link it looks like this asshat has been made.  Now it's up to the authorities to act and I don't think it's gonna take long for them to do so.
