As a veteran myself, the issue of Stolen Valor is one that personally affects me. As we approach Veterans Day, our show this week delves into the controversial topic of those who falsely claim or embellish their military experiences. Through our discussions, we aim to shed light on the damaging consequences of Stolen Valor.
There's nothing quite as gut-wrenching as witnessing someone who hasn't served in the military parade around in a uniform they haven't earned. I recall a Veterans Day event where I came across such a person. It's not just about the uniform, it's about the honor, trust, and respect that comes with it. When someone lies about their service, it undermines the sacrifices of those who truly served.
We also tackle the serious topic of verifying someone's military service. While it's a sensitive issue, it's one that needs to be approached with respect. It's essential that we never lower our standards to match those who lie about their service. Let's have these open and honest conversations, let's honor our veterans, and let's stand firmly against those who seek to steal their valor. Tune in, engage, and let's discuss the true cost of Stolen Valor.

Let's sit back and relax and get ready for the Walt Blackman Show.
Speaker 2:Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to a place where facts are our North Star and common sense is our guiding principle. You've just tuned in to the Walt Blackman Show. He's the voice that cuts through the noise, the man who isn't afraid to tell it like it is. Please welcome your host, the one and only Walt Blackman.
Speaker 3:Hello America and welcome back to another episode of the Walt Blackman Show. I'm your host. Walt Blackman and Boyd, we have an incredible lineup for you today. We're going to dig deep, expose truths and demolish myths, always with hard-pitting common sense.
Speaker 4:What's happening everybody. It's Walt Blackman. Hope you're having a great Monday. I know I am. I know I started out today doing some PT and I try to do that. I try to do that three days a week. I'm not always good at it, but I try to do that about three days a week.
Speaker 4:Today we're going to be talking about Stolen Valor, since the week coming up Wednesday or a correction, saturday is Veterans Day and I want to dedicate this week to veterans. I want to be able to talk about some of the things that veterans have done during my time in the military, the people that I've met, the people that I've worked with, served with, gone into battle with, and then I want to talk about some of those fakers. We got a lot of fakers out there, so if you're not sure what I'm talking about, I'm talking about those folks who say that they are veterans but they're not veterans and they want to get the goodies that veterans get, and then want to talk about some of those veterans who are veterans but they lie about what they've done when they were veterans, and I think that that's a shame that they do so. If you were on here earlier, had to start over a little bit, trying to get things straight, then square it away while we do this and it's just really a shame that we have people that do this we have people that lie about either serving in the military or we have people that lie about what they've done. So here's the deal If you served in the military, then you should take that service and you should be happy about what you've done.
Speaker 4:Okay, there's no need to lie about your service. There's no need to. If you haven't served in the military, you've either. You either help or support the military in some way, shape or form. There is no shame to not serving in the military. There's no shame about not doing a particular job that you wish you could have done while you're in the military. The only shame that you really bring upon yourself when we have people to do this are people who lie about actually being in the military, walk around with a uniform that is fake, walk around with medals that are fake, or actually have been in the military and lied about what they've done in the military.
Speaker 4:We're going to be talking about those things this week as we lead up to November 11th, veterans Day. So if you don't know how Veterans Day came to be. If you are a history buff I'm a history buff if you know anything about World War I, the armistice day was November 11th. So the 11th day, the 11th hour of the 11th month, that's when the war stopped or there was a armistice or ceasefire during World War I. So again, 11th day, 11th month, and the 11th hour is when World War I stopped. And this is where we come up with Veterans Day.
Speaker 4:And it's interesting when we're talking about Veterans Day, we're talking about World War I, we're talking about how we came to be and then, as we lead into the subject of today, the hidden cost of Stolen Valor, think about those folks who actually those World War I veterans who actually went out there and did their job, served the country, died, came back wounded or what have you shell shocked and fast forward.
Speaker 4:We have the wars that we were having today Iraqi freedom, desert storm, enduring freedom, which is in Afghanistan and we have people that walk around in uniforms and say they did all these great and wonderful things and they didn't even serve, they didn't even go to a recruiter. That really pisses me off when that happens, when we run into people that have done that or are doing that. The second thing is those folks that again that have served and they have perpetuated their service into being something that it really wasn't. So we're going to be talking about those things, and today we're going to be focusing on the latter. We're going to be focusing on those folks that actually served, raise their hand to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies falling in domestic and they lie about their service. So we're going to be talking about that. We're going to be talking about that and more here on the Walt Blackman Show and we'll be right back after these messages.

Speaker 4:Okay, we are back and welcome back to the Walt Blackman Show and we are glad to have you here again. Hope you had a great and wonderful weekend. Today is Monday. Saturday is Veterans Day and there's going to be a lot of things going on. There are going to be a lot of people that are going to be honoring veterans, going to be honoring veterans for their series of what they've done, whether they were in combat or not combat.
Speaker 4:If you were a veteran, you were a veteran. First of all, I want to say my heads off to you, thanks for doing what you've done, thanks for being a veteran, thanks for serving our country. Now I want to talk to those people who are faking the funk I almost dropped a F bomb on that but are faking the funk. And when I say faking the funk, what I am talking about are these guys and gals who walk around and say that they've done something when they haven't done it. So, for example, a lot of folks know that I served in the military. I spent 21 years in the military. I was a tank commander in 19 kilo, went in in 1995, retired in 2016 out of the National Training Center, fort Irwin. I was on the tarantula team, special operations, not special operations, the operations team, and we trained folks up to that. We're getting ready to deploy no big deal. What I wasn't. I wasn't special forces. I wasn't airborne aerosol, delta Force, none of those things. And I'm proud of the service that I've done. I'm proud of what I did for my 21 years in the military and I wouldn't change a minute of it and the friends that I made, the camaraderie being able to serve the country. I wouldn't change that for a minute. The reason why I say that if you served in the military and you did something that was probably not as glamorous as some of those things that I was talking about as special forces, airborne rangers, seal your service is still your service. It's honorable service.
Speaker 4:Where it becomes unhonorable service is when you lie about what you've done. So, for example, if you were again I cook, a Mel Clark, a 42 Alpha, there's nothing wrong with that. A truck driver, there's nothing at all wrong with that. When it becomes wrong, when it becomes dishonorable or discredited upon the service, is when you say that you did something and you didn't do it. If you were yeah, I'm a 42 Alpha, but guess what? I was special forces during the weekend. That's bullshit, it's a lie, it's disingenuous and you need to stop. If you were doing that, just go with the service that you did, and there's nothing wrong with that. It becomes BS when you start lying about it.
Speaker 4:So for folks that are doing that, okay, if whatever you did, if you were doing that, if you were walking around doing it, let me tell you this first of all, it's easy to check what you did in the military. It's open, it's public record. You know, a person can get your military record very easy. Okay, they can't get your social security number, they can't get your data burp, they can't get some of those things. But if a person wants to find out what you did in the service, they can do that. They can do that. And if a person has access to get your DD214, and your DD214 is your military record of what you did in the military if somebody wants to get that, they can get that. It's too easy to do. It's too easy to get.
Speaker 4:So if you're going to lie about your service and you are actually involved in an organization, that it's a veteran's organization or it's a VFW, a Veterans of Form War, or if it is something that requires you to talk about what you did in the military and you start to perpetuate a lie about what you did. It's going to be found out. It's going to quickly be found out. Then you're going to be embarrassed and when you're embarrassed it's going to be hard to recover from that. So, for example, we have a guy that lives in our town Not in our town, he lives in the next town over. He lives I live in Snowflake Taylor. He lives in the next town over.
Speaker 4:So if you were in the military, you know, if you were in for any amount of time at least as long as I was in I was in for 21 years you pretty much know how the system works. I don't know how the Air Force system works or the Navy. I don't have real good information on how the Marine Corps works, but I know how the Army works. I know what an MOS is. I know what you do to get to certain levels, what jobs you have to do before you can do some, do some other things, the rank structure. I know these things because I did it. I lived it for 21 years.
Speaker 4:And when somebody tells me that they were a pilot, a helicopter pilot, and they were only any four. I know that they're full of shit. I just do because you cannot be an Army aviator and be a freaking E4. Now you could be any four and then go to Warren Officer School and if you graduate from Warren Officer School, you graduate as an aviator and then you become a Warren Officer, a W01 or a W02, and then you begin to fly a helicopter. That is one thing. But when a person tells me that they were an Army aviator and they flew Blackhawks or they flew Cobras or Apaches, whatever it is, and they were an E4, I'm like come on, man, really Come up with something better. Come up with something better. Don't lie to me about that bullshit. Those are things that you can, those are things you know.
Speaker 4:When people are doing interservice stolen valley, stolen valor when they say they did something when they didn't, okay. Or, for example, when you have a person that says that they were special forces, okay, if your special forces, my hat is off to you, because I would not do that shit for anything. I gotta tell you I am not doing special, for I would not. I ain't jumping out of nothing. The highest thing I'm jumping out of is my tank and I'm sliding down the front slope when I do that, because I'm not trying to break a hip, okay, those jobs are for people who do those things and my hat is off to those folks. But I didn't do it, so I'm not gonna walk around talking about, yeah, I was special forces and I was there, a born and I was there assault and I did all this. Who a who, a tough guy, shit, bullshit. I ain't do that.
Speaker 4:And you know, when somebody is lying to you, if they, if they, if they've done these things now, typically it really isn't a big deal to me. If somebody wants to lie about what they did in the military, okay, that's your business. You have to look in the mirror at the end of the day and try to I don't know validate your reasons for, for lying to yourself and lying to other people. But when a person does it to get benefits, that is when it chaps my hide, that is when I get upset. When people are taking Advantage of a situation when they know darn well that they didn't earn it. For example, if a person is a special forces operator, or they've done that in the past and they jumped out of the Plan and they've got I don't know 50 jumps and they've got broken knees or they got bad knees and bad hips because of all that stuff and they've served honorably.
Speaker 4:Then you get some clown, who you know, who worked doing something that was just very low Kinetic and they didn't do none of those things. But they walk around and lie about those things. Those are the things that those are. That's the problem that I had, and that's when I just want to grab people to do that and say you know what, stop being so full of shit. Okay, you know you didn't do that. You know you didn't. You know you didn't jump out of planes. You're not special forces, you're not a ranger, you're not green beret, you didn't do none of that crap. All right, you, you, you worked on a helicopter, that's what you did, and there's nothing wrong with working on a helicopter. It only becomes wrong when a person lies about what they did. And then they, and then they, they walk around and and they think that that's the right thing to do again, and then we have those folks that will stand in front of people and say they did all these whole.
Speaker 4:I Say I say cool guy stuff they do, they said that, done all big, they've done all these cool guys stuff and and I know there are women that it do that stuff. Now, however, I come from an age and the military were it, just there wasn't women on tanks, there wasn't women in In the infantry are in the Ranger battalions other than support services, and nothing wrong with that. I'm just saying that's the age that I, that I grew up in the military. So when I say cool guy stuff, that's what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the era that I was in, 95 to 2016, and again, not taken away From females who are actually doing those things, because I, again, I couldn't do that, okay.
Speaker 4:But however, when you have somebody that is benefiting from lying about their military service, that's bullshit, is disingenuous, and you and you know you need to go to hell and gasoline drawers if you're gonna do that. You really do. I think you do, because it's BS when people do that. You know, you know, oh yeah, I jumped out of planes and I did this and I did this. You know, damn well, you didn't do none of that. The closest thing that you've done jumping out of a plane is playing Xbox when you went home from work. Okay, so stop. So stop perpetrating, stop the lie. Okay, if you're going to veteran events and you are saying that you did all these things, let me tell you that this service that you are doing to those people who actually did do those things you are taking away from the hard work and sacrifices the day did.
Speaker 4:Okay, if you wanted to be special forces, if you wanted to Jump out of planes, if you wanted to be air assault or whatever it is that you are Claiming to be, then guess what you should have did that shit. You should have did it. Okay, you should have did it. You should have. You should have went to the when you went to the recruiter so listen, I want to jump out of planes and they would have sent your way has to jump out of planes. Plane is simple. If you wanted to, if you wanted to do you know, low crawl with a k bar, and that's what you wanted to do, then that's what you, that's what you should have did, that's what you should have asked for.
Speaker 4:But don't, don't, don't, don't, do you know you do your time and then you get out and you get all kind of BS on you Did, you didn't earn, and you walk around with your chest out like you did something and you didn't do anything but work in a damn mail room. I. And again, if you worked in a mailroom, there's nothing wrong with that. Just no lie about saying that you did something else and the service that you didn't do. But we get.
Speaker 4:We find people that are benefiting from that stuff. We find people that are taking advantage of these things and when they take advantage of them, I'm going to tell you what happens. When they take advantage of these things and they're doing these things. The problem, what we see is in regular people, civilians who have nothing to do with the military, and they find out a person has been lying about being in the military or what they've done in the military. They tend not to believe those folks that actually did something in the military. We'll be right back after these messages on the Walt Blackman Show talking to you about Stolen Valor and the hidden cost of that atrocious act.

Okay, everybody, welcome back. This is Walt Blackman.
Speaker 4:We are talking about Stolen Valor as we lean in to the world. Welcome back. This is Walt Blackman. We are talking about Stolen Valor as we lean in to the week of Veterans Day. Veterans Day is Saturday, november 11th. I talked about how Veterans Day actually did come to be. I left off at Stop Bullshitting. Okay, stop Bullshitting. Stop doing what you're doing. If you're lying about your military service, there's no need to be lying about it. First of all again want to thank everybody who has logged on to my TikTok. I do appreciate you If you are just logging on now. We are talking about Stolen Valor. We are talking about that because we're leaning into Veterans Day. I really want to get your comments on that. Also, I really want to find out how you feel about it.
Speaker 4:If you were in the military and you run across some yahoo that has said that they've done all kinds of things and they haven't, then that's the thing. I want to tell you a story really quickly. It was a few years ago, I think it was when I was still in the military or just getting out of the military and I ran across someone, and it was by accident. It was by accident. I ran across someone who was at a Veterans Day event and they were a speaker. I believe they were a speaker or they were doing something. I want to say they were a speaker but ran across them and it was just out of a surprise that didn't happen. I was in the audience. The person didn't know that I was there. I was in the audience. Small world being in the military is a small world, particularly being in the armor corps, being in a tanker. It's a small world. It's a small community. Being a tanker.
Speaker 4:The person that was giving this speech, if you will, on Veterans Day had his uniform on. When I was sitting in the back room and I recognized the person, I said, yeah, I served with this dude. I didn't say anything out loud, I said, yeah, I served with this guy. Then the guy started talking. He started talking about all this shit he did. I'm like you can do none of that. I'm listening to this dude. This guy is saying, yeah, he was Delta, he was what it is the special forces. He was a Ranger, he was black ops. He just did everything, everything, everything. I was like dude, this guy didn't do none of that shit. So after the, you know, I didn't say anything.
Speaker 4:But after the event I walked up to him and he recognized me because when he got out of service this dude was like an E five, and E five is a Sergeant, three stripes. This dude was wearing officer rank, he was wearing a Ranger tab, a special forces, I think. Well, yeah, yeah, special forces, ranger and airborne. He had airborne pins, he had an air assault pin, he had medals that I know his ass didn't even earn. And how do I know this? Because we was in the same damn unit. You know what I'm saying. So I walk up to this dude, I'm like did you, did you go back into service and get all that man, did you get all? Because last I checked, you got out, you ETS as a Sergeant. And again, I didn't see this out loud in front of people because I didn't want to embarrass the guy, because I didn't know, maybe he went back in and did this shit, but he didn't. And I knew he didn't, but I didn't want to call him out. But there's all kind of stuff and I'm like, man, come on, man, you know. And I was talking to him calmly because you know he and I'm like, hey, listen, man, be proud of what you did. Okay, be proud of what you did. We were in the same unit. Okay, we were in the same unit.
Speaker 4:The dude was in one seven, seven armor and swineford, germany, part of First Infantry Division, third brigade. Okay, I think it was third brigade. And let me tell you what he did. He was a mail clerk, mailroom clerk. Nothing wrong with being a mailroom clerk, nothing wrong with that. Well, a correction, not a mailroom, he was a orderly room clerk. Orderly room clerk works for the commander, they work for the command team and you know the mail comes in or he does, he does the personnel actions.
Speaker 4:You make sure that people, you know, got paid and all, and I mean you know that's an important job. You don't make sure somebody get paid. So I'm like where'd you get all this other stuff at man? Where'd you, where'd you get the special forces and all this other stuff? Where'd you get all that from? He said well, you know I was going. You know I said you know what, man, listen, you do you Okay, you do you Okay. But I know, and you know that, I know that you didn't do nothing. It's shit. So if you don't want to get embarrassed what I would do if I were. You just talk about what you did, man, where the shit that you got, where the uniformed, the stuff that you earned, okay, you, you got out as an E five, be proud of that, okay, but this other stuff you're doing, man, that's bringing discredit upon the people who did do that.
Speaker 4:It's like this weekend I have to speak at a veteran's event, okay, now, now they want me to wear my ASU, my army service uniform, and I don't even know if I want to do all that. You know, because you got to put it back on. You got to put the shit back Together. You know, I don't even know if I want to do that. However, let's say I did do that and I and I wore my ASU. I think they call it something else now, but when I was in, they call it ASU, army service uniform, and that's your, that's your, you know your coat and you know your, your pants and all that stuff. And then you wait, you know you got your, you got your rack, we caught your rack. Let's say I did it and I put shit on my uniform that I didn't earn. That is a form of stolen valor, even if, say I say, say I Didn't, you know, I wore, I just I wore what I earned, but I said I did something that I didn't do. That is a form of stolen valor.
Speaker 4:So this week, when you are out and about and if you are at a, you are at an event, a veterans event and somebody is talking about you know what they did. First of all, you don't want to assume that the person is Not telling the truth. You don't want to do that, you don't want to. You don't want to do that because you could make a fool of yourself If the person actually did do some of these things. But if you're not sure, if a person is Only upping up about some of the things that they, that they are perpetrating, that they, that they've done For example, if you get some kid up there who is 20 years old, who is walking around with a Full current, as a full colonel Okay, and all kind of stuff on them, the dude might be lying to you.
Speaker 4:Okay, they might be lying. Or if you know like again, the guy that I was talking about, not the guy that I ran into but this other dude Says he was in Vietnam, my hats off to you. If you served in Vietnam, you served in Vietnam. Okay, that was a tough conflict. But after some check-in Because dude had all kind of stuff on the back of his truck Aerosol Ranger, vietnam Army pilot and all that shit After some training I find out the dude did do none of that stuff but he was in the service and I my hats off to that.
Speaker 4:The dude was in the service but again, I never seen an E4 as a pilot and let me tell you what an E4 is. Those folks don't know. And E4 is a specialist. That is a grade above private first class. So you go to basic training. You were private, then your private first class, okay, and then you a specialist. You don't jump from private first class to pilot unless you go to school to do that we know to do. Then do we check this records out? I mean, again, there's no need to lie about what you do in your service, particularly if you are going to be standing in front of people because you discredit yourself, and then there's going to be somebody who knows you. There's going to be somebody who sees that. There's going to be somebody who videotapes that and they're going to see that and they're going to say, man, come on, dog, you know damn well you can do none of that stuff. You know damn well you can do none of that stuff. That's like, for example Okay, let me, let me bring this up really quickly.
Speaker 4:Okay, I was awarded the broad start. Okay, I was awarded bronze. So it's in every once in a while I wear my you know if I'm out working and you know doing stuff around the yard or just hanging out, I wear this. It's old and dirty and stuff like that. You know Bronze star? Okay, because you can. You can go on my DD 214 and you can see that I earned a bronze star. You can also see that I earned, you know, a lot of other metals, like the meritorious service metal, the army accommodation, the army achieve. You know those. I mean metals that everybody you know typically earns. I'm proud of my bronze star because not everybody earns a bronze star or a meritorious service metal.
Speaker 4:But if I walk, if I walked around with this hat on, okay, and I didn't earn a bronze star or I didn't earn a combat action badge, I would be committing stolen valor and I would bring discredit to those people who did earn a bronze star or who did earn other accolades, that I'm walking around saying that I earned and all this. That's why I get pissed off from the fact that I'm not a bronze star. That's why I get pissed off when I hear and see people do that. Now, sometimes people are just, they get carried away with the shit. Okay, they got all kind of stuff. I mean they got stuff that did I'm never even did, you know, I never even seen. I mean they got most shit on they, uniformed in patent, and that dude had all kind of stuff on his stuff.
Speaker 4:Okay, so so you know what I, when I see that, I'm like but I, but again, what I don't recommend you do if you're in the military, okay, you're gonna get upset, and I've seen some of these videos out here. Do people get upset? You're gonna get upset. What I don't recommend you do is just run up on the person and say you know you're committing stolen valor. If you don't know, let me straighten that out real quick. If you don't know, I wouldn't recommend doing that because that is not, that's not the wise thing to do.
Speaker 4:Okay, if a person is doing that, there's a couple of things you can do. You can you can just be straight up and ask them, but you know you want to ask them a way that's respectful, because there were, there were some occasions where you know you get some World War two vet or something like that and they got their stuff on and then somebody would Come up on them and say, stolen baller, stolen baller. And the person actually served. And you know you make you make yourself look like a damn idiot doing that. So I wouldn't recommend rushing up on somebody doing that. Okay, if you are part of an organization and you are giving money to somebody who claims to be a Veteran, you have every right to ask them and do a background check to see if they really are a veteran, particularly if it's for you know, if you're doing something to benefit other veterans and this person is coming out and speaking on behalf of veterans, you have every right to do that and you can do that by going to military archives. You can go to military archives and you can and you can. You know, either you can get, you can find out basic information If a person served, number one. You can.
Speaker 4:In some cases you can get their DD 214, and their DD 214 is I don't when I do my, when I do my show tomorrow, show it, it's a, it's a format, is everything on it that you've done? It's like your your your whole time in the military, would you know, from one year to 20 years. Whatever you did in the military is, on that, dd 214 Okay, and you can check that and you can see if a person Actually did some of the things they did. Now there are some cases where people have have have falsified their DD 214 and that's real easy to figure out if somebody's falsified or DD 214, especially if you're one of these organizations nonprofit organizations that are either raising money for veterans, Are doing service, community work for veterans, disabled veterans, so on and so forth, and you get somebody in front of you that is trying to Either advocate for that or they are advocating for themselves, for their own nonprofit, but they happen not to be a veteran. You can check these names out and I would recommend you do that. So if you are a nonprofit and you do have Somebody that's coming to you that's claiming to be a veteran, check them out.
Speaker 4:Don't just assume that, since a person says they're a veteran, that they are a veteran, check them out, do it quietly and if the person pans out, then guess what? That's great. You know you in that organization can go forward and help veterans, but if the person is not a veteran and they're and they are trying to get money from you, then that's when you need to check. The other thing is is you will see a lot this week, and as we get ready to close this show today you will see a lot this week.
Speaker 4:People will be Again claiming to be veterans and they'll either be asking you for money or what have you? This or this, this, that is up to you to figure it, to do that. Whether or not you give a person dollars to do that or what have you, that is up to you. I'm not saying don't do that. What I am saying is Is that not every person who claims to be a veteran is a veteran. Not every person who is walking around saying that they were special forces Was actually special forces or was actually special forces, or so one and so forth. A lot of people just were not and a lot of people will lie about that. A lot of people will will will use the badge of being a veteran to get things, to get benefits, and that's just a shame. So be careful who you call out, verify it. Okay, it's easy to do and I'll put some links up later about you know how you can verify these things and and then again, you know, you know, show some restraint. If a person actually turns out to be fully shed, okay, show some restraint because you don't want to again lower your standards of somebody else can be.
