Turns out that Staff Sergeant (1) Simmance, lefty hero and Buffalo Occupier, is a big fat liar. He claims that he served in Afghanistan, in the "Valley of Elah" (2), Iraq, and Gaza, (3) and was wounded by rocket fire (4). Well, (1) he wasn't a staff sergeant, he was an E-4 Specialist (two grades below staff sergeant), (2) there is no Valley of Elah and he didn't correctly identify other places he fought (btw, turns out all the places he claimed to have fought are prominent in movies) (3) he didn't serve in any of those places (according to army records he spent three years in Fort Lewis, Washington), and (4) he wasn't wounded by enemy fire during his three years in Fort Lewis, Washington or anywhere else. He has received no decorations indicating service overseas or in combat, and his "proof" that he served there is apparently passport stamps from the countries he claims.
Passport stamps? I did serve overseas, have the military records to prove it, and I have no passport stamps from any of the countries we visited. I didn't even have to provide a passport to enter those countries, let alone go through customs and immigration.
Even his mother doesn't believe him.
Once again, the OWS movement is discredited. Guarantee, however, that you won't see this story on the nightly news and if you bring it up in an argument you'll be accused of using isolated anecdotal evidence to discredit a popular movement. How many "isolated anecdotal incidents" do we have to see before we accept that a pattern appears to be emerging? Well, we hit 360 today and I don't know if Mr. Simmance is included since he might not have actually broken any laws.
