Is it stolen valor if you were actually in the military but make shit up?>In 2013, The New Yorker reported that during a late-night drinking session, Kyle recounted driving to New Orleans after hearing about looting in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. He and another man allegedly brought sniper rifles and positioned themselves at a vantage point on top of the city's Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Kyle claimed the duo shot a number of armed civilians they identified as making trouble. According to the report, one of those present said Kyle claimed to have shot 30 people himself; Another recollected Kyle asserting the two men had shot 30 people between them; the third did not recall a specific number.[50]
Only draftee have valor. All volunteers are pogs in spirit.
No, its just being an attention-seeking bullshit artist. Tbh, dying young was the best outcome for Kyle. He didn't live to have to deal with the Ventura case (frankly, Ventura went soft on his wife and estate, if he had been alive he could have taken the libel case much further), and if he had been around for the boom of bro-vet podcasting circa ~2015 he would have embarrassed himself telling many more transparently false anecdotes, plus I don't think he would have handled the sudden irrelevance of GWOT experience post-2022; leading him to either have a breakdown or feel compelled to tell ever more extreme and fanciful tales in order to compete with footage coming out of Ukraine.

>>64177517When the only people you care about are special forces dude bros and one attention seeker lies about you to make himself look better then gets shot in the head what other recourse do you have to make pipe hitters stop talking shit about you?
>>64177517One of these guys was full of shit. The other one is Jesse
>>64177305>Is it stolen valor if you were actually in the military but make shit up?If a hypothetical water dog claims they were doing black ops shit backflipping out of helicopters and 360-noscoping tangos, then I would argue that it's little different from if a neverserved were saying it.
>>64178042It's even worse because they should know better, and ultimately an actual specops dude being a full of shit liar does more damage to their reputation and publuc trust than some necerserved wannabe.
his best story is about him allegedly shooting some carjackers then telling the police that came to call some super sekrit phone number in the pentagon so that someone could tell them that he was a genuine war hero and to let him go
>>64177517I understand that Chris Kyle was a lying blowhard shitbag, but imagine rooting for a traitorous piece of shit that kneels for the Crapxican flag.
>>64178118>low IQ alcoholics tryhards making shit upwater under the bridge. that's all it is
>>64177305>golems>honor
>grabs the compulsive liar baton and runs with it.
>>64177305>Boasts about committing 30 murdersIt's not stolen valor when there's nothing valorous about your claims
>>64178554I hate this faggot edgelord so much it’s unreal.
>>64178141Jesse ventura is pretty based policy wise. You're just a retard that licks government boots
How blown out is Taya Kyle's pussy to be whoring out your dead husband's image to turkroach ammo just to make a few dollars?
>>64177305before the internet everybody made shit up
>>64178784no he isnt, hes a deluded boomer that likes the sound of his own voice
>>64177309wrong, only dead soldiers have valor. everyone who made it back alive is a pog.
>>64177305Honestly, nobody outside the military or their close relatives gives a shit about "stolen valor" and golems are such a small percentage of the general population that basically nobody cares.
>>64178876Not everyone built a lifestyle brand out of it. And those that did usually lost their following instead of just carrying on as usual.
>>64178554Someone post the same hyde copypasta kek
>>64178929no,nobody called people for lying about their service record, nobody really cared and you took a man at his word. caring about stolen valor is a modern thing.
>>64178554>I AM the AUTHORITY >proceeds to artillery strike civilians>Yeah, I'm a badass
>>64177422damn i never thought about how funny him doing the podcast circuit would've been
>>64179016What civilians were present at tora bora
>>64178136Ironically that comes off as more believable than him driving through floodwaters, climbing on top of a stadium, and shooting 3 dozen people without any of the thousands of people and cops in the stadium or the nonstop news coverage from helicopters noticing him. Not to mention the Superdome is surrounded on one side by the interstate and the other by office buildings.
>>64179030Listen to Shrunk's Jew Ryan interview snippets again.
what exactly caused the shift to make american operators go from quiet and secretive to full on larp mode yappers?
>>64179160NTA but no I'm not listening to anything like any of this, can you just be explicit about your accusation instead of making a very vague claim.
>>64179231The collective guilt of Americans about how poorly Vietnam vets were treated leading to a post-9/11 fueled overcorrection that generated a whole industry of plastic patriots with money to spend and the glorification of specops attracting motivated narcissists eager to take advantage of the situation.
>>641792312007 double whammy of lone survivor and cod 4
>>64179160I did . He didn’t say anything out of school about tora bora
>>64178554Hasn't lied about anything
>>64179231GWOT. More specifically post-9/11 journalistic fellatio pieces about the exploits of spec ops and them all publishing ghost written memoirs that exaggerate things even more (i.e 5 afghan gunmen becomes 500). This wasn't the first example of this happening: After the gulf war several SAS soldiers cashed in writing memoirs about their exploits (this is the Chris Ryan, Andy McNab, Cyril Clunge genre) but the UK quickly quashed this by making all serving members be unable to write about their time in the SAS and blacking out their faces in official photos. The DOD didn't do that probably because "it helps recruitment" without seeing the a monkey's paw curl and the end result being instead of OG Delta Force guys who'd would learn spanish, grow a porno mustache, overthrow a south american government then live a quiet life selling photocopiers you had roided up guys joining SOCOM specifically because they wanted public adoration and who saw nothing wrong about profiting from their service by hawking coffee or yapping on a podcast. It also contributing factor for why you heard about more gungho raids (especially where things go south) because older style extended recon/observation might be valuable for the war effort but you won't get on JRE to talk about how you spend 2 weeks hiding in a bush observing an enemy C3.
>>64179231They always having been writing books, giving interviews, and having TV shows anf movies made. Only difference now there's a bunch of internet podcasts.
>>64177305No it's just retarded and gay. Lying about being in the military is gay/retarded. Lying about what you did in the military is gay/retarded. And being in the military at all is gay/retarded. I don't wanna hear a story about someone's shit Walmart job why would I wanna hear about yours?
>>64179281>how poorly Vietnam vets were treatedIt was wrong to target non-combat POGs and draftees, but the ones involved in specops deserved it. Special forces were given a pass to do some really fucked up stuff. This is true even (and especially) now with Iraq/Afghan specops veterans.
>>64179956>but the ones involved in specops deserved itstop watching movies you wetbrain retard.
>>64179965Phoenix Program is literally a matter of public record.
>>64177305
>>64177305Nah I did absolutely fuck all in the army but it's fun making up increasingly bullshit tall tales, a couple months ago I told my family I shot a sniper out of one of those stupid Muslim towers with a sabot round
>>64178554I love this guyhe makes /k/ larpers seethe like GarandThumb kek
>>64180004>increasingly bullshit tall talesSpeak for yourself, my 25' beer bong was real
>>64179987I've seen this before but just noticed the texas belt buckle, which perfectly encapsulates the massive faggot Kris Kyle was.
>>64178784He turned into a frail old man who votes democrat, his only policy now is sucking cock
>>64179987Don't use my phrases.
>>64179987kek
>>64177517>be jesse>be based
>>64177305I have no doubt this retard killed random unarmed civilians. I doubt they were looters.And raped women. And dodged taxes.
>>64178141Found the jew
>>64177517> Jesse "The Vaxxtard" Ventura Stupid old boomer believes in goyvid
>>64180765Go back to /x/, schizo
>>64178784>licks government bootsYou sound "fully vaccinated" LMFAO
>>64180197Only two things come out of Texas, steers and queers
>>64180774Cry harder vaxfagNobody forced you to get the clot shot
>>64179593I don’t know if I’ve gotten older or just grown tired of the schtick. Seeing middle aged men with this kind of bravado comes across as insanely insecure and the actions of weak men. Truthfully, a lot of these spec ops types lack the fitness to be professional athletes and the brains to be doctors/engineers (and yes, there are exceptions to both). It really speaks to how long these fucking ears were going on that they could keep some semblance of relevancy. I don’t need stories anymore. I can see feeds if Ukraine and watch wilder shit than any of these edgy fags can claim. All from dudes just trying to survive instead of sell me on a product
>>64181443*wars not ears
>>64180045Can I get a qrd
>>64181456Delta force faggot who comes across as an autistic contrarian edgelord who spins bullshit stories and gives horrible, horrible advice that will get you killed. Absolutely cannot fucking stand him
>>64177305I used to think this was bullshit. Then I learned about the literal thousands of nogs killed in New Orleans during Katrina. Now i think it's entirely possible.
>>64181456John McPhee is a well-known Delta Force operator who had combat experience in Iraq. He rubs people the wrong way with his exuberance when retelling his war stories. People allege he is exaggerating or making it up. He's done solo ops behind enemy lines. All the stuff the Navy Seals wish they had done. Doesn't mean he didn't actually do it though.
>>64181741His advice is so bad and he’s such a fucking try-hard grifter it makes everything he says immediately suspect
>>64182142Do you have an example? The clip Sam Hyde and Nick Rochefort clown him for was decent advice. He said don't clear a house without a 3 to 1 advantage. Either hold your ground or retreat.As for grifting. It used to mean something like out of the sting. It's so overused now. What questionable supplements or merch is he selling?
>>64178815>Made in Czech Republic
>>64182446NTA but only an idiot would take someone who claimed to have pretended to be a retard to accomplish recon missions seriously. Additionally, "hide in your closet with a pistol" is fucking gay advice; if you have a family you can't just cower like that, you need to be proactive.
>>64182662Proactive to a point dummy. I don't know why everyone keeps asking trained soldiers advice on dealing with a break in and then getting bent out of shape when they inevitably tell Joe Everyman to call the cops and hold an angle. Fuck, you guys got pissed when Jocko said the best advice for getting in a knife fight outside a club at 2 in the morning was to run away like he was going to legitimately tie himself to some fat slob getting sodomized by his own karambit trying out a technique he heard described on the Joe Rogan Experience>baaaaaawww I wanted to hear him describe some Bullshido techniques that sound awesome!!!
>>64182446https://youtu.be/cS-Ukl58teA?si=-jtEi3BefsMRd9dSSome of the most dogshit advice ever
>>64182714I'd never ask this fag for any advice because he is an obvious liar and you should be ashamed of yourself for believing anything he said. I don't watch faggy beard oil podcasts, Jocko, or Shawn Ryan or any of that. I just saw the Sam Hyde bit and I'm glad to see liars get dunked on because they are creating a fake history and deserve ridicule for it. This dude is a fraud who was demoted and fired ffs, go fan someone else's balls.
>>64181741He didn't do any solo missions behind enemy lines. Lol he made all that shit up.
>>64179281Damn nigger, you encapsulated that very well. Insightful.
What does OP have to do with /k/ Weapons
>>64177453yes
>>64177305Nah, that just makes him a bullshitter.
>>64182714>dealing with a break in and then getting bent out of shape when they inevitably tell Joe Everyman to call the cops and hold an angle.That's good advice, but to be fair you could also just magdump randomly down a hallway. Any hallway, it doesn't even matter. Even if they're on the other side of the house. Because 99.99% of burglars have zero interest of getting into a firefight and as soon as you demonstrate you have a gun and are willing to shoot they're going to GTFO as soon as possible.
>>64186265This is legitimately terrible advice and will get you charged in court, retard
>>64186692Well don't fucking say that's what you were doing, retard. Say you saw a moving shadow or something, and having already accounted for everybody in the house, you knew it could only be the intruder.
>>64186692>This is legitimately terrible advice and will get you charged in court, retard>>64186737>Well don't fucking say that's what you were doing, retard. Say you saw a moving shadow or something, and having already accounted for everybody in the house, you knew it could only be the intruder.Use a 2nd gun with blank rounds, retards. And dont forget to yell Charlie! Charlie is in the wire! as if you were having a Vietnam flashback.
>>64186737>not having a wml for positive identification in low light conditions>just shoot up your house instead and claim you saw something move>accidentally nail your dog because you're too stupid to be handling guns in the first placeYou're genuinely fucking retarded and I hope you realize that, any prosecutor with half a brain could get you on any number of counts of reckless endangerment, brandishing, or assault in the 3rd degree depending on state laws, probably more too depending on how stupid you actually are.
>>64183201>hurr durr you need to be proactive and clear your home!>nah, he gave good advice>OH WOW STOP MEATRIDING BROkek, imagine having a melt because a idiot gave good advice but you have an opinion on him one way or another. Sort your shit anon, retired seals selling books aren't fucking your imaginary girl
>>64186265Why even go through all that and the cost of ammo when you could just give the ol' mossberg a pump
>>64177517Bunch of slack-jawed faggots around here.
>>64177305yes.
>>64186998Why don't you just pretend to be retarded to sneak by home invaders like this guy claims he did in Iraq you dumb faggot. (you) are a retard for taking someone like this seriously. Never trust a liar.
>>64177305Omg Chris Kyle just flew over my house
>>64187874he claims he did that in afganistan. get your facts straight before you talk about somebody you know nothing about the war
>>64190035He didn't do it anywhere you idiot. This guy is completely full of shit.
>be chris kyle, the most SEALest SEAL that ever fought on sea, air, or land>tell nonstop bullshit stories about how fucking awesome you are and all the secret squirrel high speed low drag OPPURAYDER shit you did>get your fucking brains blown out by some crayon eater who became murderously tired of your shit ten minutes after meeting you
>>64177305I could not give a solitary fuck about vets and our "heroes". The real ones don't fucking talk about it. They know what they did was fucked up and they feel bad about it. These podcast operator faggots need to be fucking killed. God it's such a disgrace. I'm glad Kyle is dead, Iraq was one of the most fucked up wars we perpetrated and it was all for Israel. Fucking zogbots.
>>64179726This is true. I served in the military and can confirm it was gay, and retarded. Im pretty sure if I wasnt retarded before joining I am now, and possibly gay.
>"quite professionals" meme>third worldismSpeshul 4ces has always been full of boisterous loud mouths.I always know who was in the military because they always tell me, usually within the first three minutes of meeting them.
>>64190271I agree with you 100% but you're a brown muzzie posting this
>>64180392>He turned into a frail old man who votes democrat, his only policy now is sucking cockHeh, good thing I'm a blackpilled Independent who just voots at the Federal level LoLbert or occasionally for shits an giggles Greenparty whenever my options are evil shitbag Zogbot (blue) vs evil shitbag Zogbot (red) Coke/Pepsi because Amerilards are fucking retarded and are STILL falling for it and they'll always find a way to champion unpopular gun control laws or online censorship laws and occasionally both.>>64178880>no he isnt, hes a deluded boomer that likes the sound of his own voiceUmmmm ain't that most Boomers though?
>>64177894
What are the Bushes doing nowadays other than just raising cattle in Texas? Because if they just wanna check out of politics entirely out of embarrassment I'm fine with that.
>>64192902The old man is dead, dubya has been showing signs of dementia for the better half of a decade and jeb ran several very unsuccessful campaigns for president. It's a big family, though. All their kids have prominent roles in their chosen industries. Only one went into politics that I know of but I get the impression one of them will run for president in the next decade.
>>64178554Don’t you mean Tim Kennedy?
>>64190423I'm Welsh and Slav you fucking fag face
>>64193629>I know of but I get the impression one of them will run for president in the next decade.Why? Whom the fuck on gods green earth is nostalgic for any of the shit the Bushes did? I mean if Dems are actually insane enough to run Gavin Newsom then sure they have a 'chance' I guess...
>>64194252Jeb's got it in the bag this time anon, Trump's first term went well enough but Trump shat on any good grace he had with the MAGA crowd in his second term.
>>64177305Legally not "stolen valor" but ranges from bragging / exaggerating to just lying.A guy saying he got a confirmed kill when he fired in the general direction until they left isn't a big deal, he took fire and returned only exaggerating how good his return was.A guy that deployed and never saw combat saying he saw combat is bad if he might see combat because people will assume he's going to be useful when he might freeze. If he's out then it's a pretty big lie but not a danger.A guy that spent 8 years sitting around a motorpool claiming to be high speed infantry is both pathetic and funny.
>>64194252>Whom the fuck on gods green earth is nostalgic for any of the shit the Bushes did?Anon have you seen any news at all in the last 6 months? I fucking hated W with a passion at the time but now I would consider him the best option.
>>64196235>I'm gonna voot Coke instead of Pepsi this time!Okay
>>64181741Unless he's willing to provide unredacted copies of his AARs, everything he says should taken with a grain of salt
>>64177305Oh fuck, this uniformed homoerotic narcissist again.You see this stereotype everywhere, wearing tight jeans, admiring each other's asses, married to fat lazy whales, driving giant bullshit trucks

>>64181702I met a bum in atlanta that said he was crippled during katrina. Real nice guy, he showed me the beer store and we had a pizza. When i asked if he was a looter he nogged out and threw his chair at me.
>>64193999Wasted trips. As a fellow welsh, im sorry anon. You never had a chance.
