Deppidy Lawn Jockey’s Fake Medals

New pic of the Deppidy floating around the Internet, trying to look “patriotic”!

Methinks the boy has a smaller “Johnson” problem than the Chumph.

The problem is – all those “Medals” that festoon his uniform…

They ain’t medals.

They are buttons like you would pick up at a tourist shop or a convention,

The Four Stars on the epaulets? Give me a break. The man  was in charge of a county jail.

Deppidy Lawn Jockey even has a Ribbon Bar…Just like the folks in the Military, and two cute little American Flag pins he picked on the Internet for $2.00.

Big Star on the left side looks like an “Order of Lenin”.

There is a bit of controversy about that Ribbon, with folks who really did serve in the Military and earn those.

Check it out:

Looks like Sheriff David Clarke’s “army” medals might be B.S.

“You see all that shit pinned all over his dress uniform jacket? That’s not supposed to be there.”

David Clarke, the controversial sheriff of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin and staunch Donald Trump supporter, has reportedly accepted an offer to become the next assistant deputy secretary of Homeland Security. While the DHS itself is casting some doubts on the posting, the reactions to his proposed appointment are, for the most part, negative.

In the wake of that, an interesting charge against Clarke surfaced in the form of a Twitter rant on Thursday.

At almost all of his public appearances, Clarke either wears a pristine cowboy hat with a natty suit or, more famously, a uniform festooned with shiny military medals. On Thursday, Twitter user Charles Clymer, an army veteran, pointed out that those military medals might not be all that legit.

“Look at this fucking guy’s uniform,” Clymer said, in the second of a long string of tweets on the subject. “You see all that shit pinned all over his dress uniform jacket? That’s not supposed to be there.”

Clymer went on to break down each individual medal, their placement and their apparently spurious provenance. Clymer acknowledged that legitimate medals are earned, and should be worn with pride, but accuses Clarke of “stolen valor” and calls Clarke’s collection, “a sloppy assortment of badge replicas arranged neatly, [that] looks imposing.”

He goes on to say that the way Clarke wears his medals seems more like something, “a fucking 10 year-old does. And I know because I was 10 and did this with a pin collection one day. Stupid fun.”

Clymer also tweeted that he reached out to the Milwaukee Police Department, to get a copy of their uniform standards to back up his claims, but has not heard back.

Can you spot the Boy Scout Merit Badge?

 

Yet Another Tea Bag Busted in Stolen Honor Ruse

I have seen guys try this before, especially at some bar trying to impress the other guys. Guys who really did serve in the Armed Forces, and especially those who served in one of our many wars know exactly what those ribbons and medals mean, and the human and physical costs of earning them. This pastor appears to be a little whack for even the Liberty University religious right wing crowd. Especially after the old – “a black guy robbed me” ruse…

Pastor caught lying about ‘black robber’ busted again for pretending to be a Navy SEAL

A U.S. Army veteran noticed a curious thing at a recent convocation event at Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University. A graying man was wearing military dress uniform and badges that indicate what seemed like an impossible accumulation of achievements and commendations.

The man identified himself as Mark Joston, the Friendly Atheist reports. Joston had insignia on his uniform identifying him as a Navy SEAL with four purple hearts, an Afghanistan and Iraq veteran, and rear admiral for the CIA’s special ops.

Turns out, those unbelievable achievements were just that — unbelievable.

The man was none of those things, nor was his name Mark Joston. He was Pastor George Hunley of Louisa, Virginia, who earlier this year was arrested for falsely reporting to police he was robbed and shot by a black man.

Veterans were quick to detect inconsistencies in Hunley’s story.

“This guy made a big mistake by putting on that Navy Cross if he did not earn it because there are only a dozen or so who have earned the distinguished Navy Cross during the war on terror,” writes Michael Swaney at Popular Military. “There is no Mark Joston or “Josten” to be found on any list of Navy Cross recipients. However, there are three unidentified Navy SEALS who earned the Navy Cross during the global war on terrorism. So we cross referenced his name with the Navy Silver Star recipients and there is also no Mark Joston or Josten.”

After Swaney wrote about Joston, his readers pointed out a Raw Story post from February in which Hunley led police on a fabricated story that he’d been robbed and shot by an interracial couple he’d pulled over to try and assist on the road. His story fell apart at that time because police couldn’t find any evidence Hunley had been shot, and also found his wallet and checkbook, which he claimed had been taken in the incident.

Another case of a delusional right winger duping Faux News into believing he was a CIA expert is progressing in the courts.
