FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“It’s embarrassing for me and it’s embarrassing for his children and it’s
embarrassing for the military,” said Ms Conroy.
Military records show Mr Poe served with the Minnesota National Guard from
December 2002 through May 2011 as a supply specialist. They show he was
deployed in Kosovo from October 2007 to July 2008, and then served in
Afghanistan for about a month in mid-2009. The sergeant was honorably
discharged in 2011 because of a medical disability.
Lt. Col Kevin Olson, a spokesman for the Minnesota Army National Guard, wrote
that none of the military records back up his claims that he was injured in
combat.
However, he said, other documents indicate Mr Poe suffered the injury that led
to his medical retirement while training in Indiana in July 2009 before he
deployed to Afghanistan. He also said there were no official records showing
that he ever deployed to Iraq or was injured there.
In another discrepancy, Mr Poe also gave “America’s Got Talent” a
photograph of another soldier and passed it off as himself. The caption of
the original picture on the official military website Defense.gov says it
shows Staff Sgt. Norman Bone serving in Afghanistan in 2006.
The discrepancies prompted a wave of criticism on military blogs and social
media.
Nick Colgin, a medic who came home from Afghanistan in 2008 with a brain
injury after a rocket-propelled grenade hit the side of his Humvee, said
fabricated tales of heroism dishonour other veterans whose service goes
unnoticed.
“There’s 2.4 million veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq, and for someone to
go on national TV and bring disrespect to them and their service – it’s
inexcusable,” he said.
