hink441 Posted July 26, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 26, 2012 Take a look at these military imposters. Evidentally they have been doing this for three generations. Since WW2 this family has been living a lie. This stuff turns my stomach. See the link below the picture. :thumbdown: http://www.duffelblog.com/2012/06/son-prou...litary-service/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a link to a legitimate news site when I google the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rr01 Posted July 26, 2012 Share #4 Posted July 26, 2012 If this article is true then it is truly pathetic but I'm going to send this on to a couple of our Assns "Stolen Valor" zealots for validation. The story is more hysterical than believable, especially with the recommended stories at the bottom of that post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
148thSoldier Posted July 26, 2012 Share #5 Posted July 26, 2012 All the stories on there are fake ones. Taken from the About Us section of the blog. "The Duffel Blog serves the men and women of the US Military with a daily dose of military humor, funny military pictures, and faux news. We take an interesting and funny look at military life. We focus on veterans, military stories, defense, politics (sometimes) and life on base — with a comedic twist. We are in no way, shape, or form, a real news outlet. Just about everything on this website is satirical in nature. Who We Are We are disgruntled Marines, annoyed Army Guys, sickened Sailors… and no one from the Air Force yet because they are pretty :)ing happy to be there. If you’ve ever wondered who is behind all of this, it’s a highly-trained staff of writers that adopt the Duffel Writing Style. This style needs three points for the writer to be effective: a fair amount of creativity, a military background, and heavy drinking." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hink441 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share #6 Posted July 26, 2012 Well, I am glad it is a fake story. Hard to imagine a family with less morals than the family depicted in the blog. The story sure got me hook, line & sinker!!! :lol2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack's Son Posted July 26, 2012 Share #8 Posted July 26, 2012 He's one hell of a "pitchman". He really believes in this stunt, that makes him even more believable! :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST Posted July 26, 2012 Share #9 Posted July 26, 2012 BTW, thanks for posting this as I am a great fan of The Onion, and had not heard about duffelblog. Look forward to reading more of their work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
