I'm aware there are groups that fact-check folks spinning yarns about Special Forces service, wondering if there are any for more run of the mill claimants, or places where such info is noted.
I have run across a person on a political blog, who claims 4yrs of Marine service in '74-78, training on Redeyes, he's spouted some nonsensical and self-contradictory political nonsense, and claimed to have "served in other capacities since 1986", including
"Haiti (twice)
Somalia (1994)
Liberia (three times, the last time last July and August)
Colombia"
Stated name is "Cochrane Collins"
I'm expecting a current location on the person via the blog owner, shortly
EDIT - no helpful physical location, but get this - he's posting from a comp within the State Dept. Which makes his support of "mercenary" damnation even more insidious.
In short, his story and support for a Leftist's blogger's labeling of the just-murdered former operators working in Iraq as "mercenaries" frankly sucks, and several of us are calling him on it.
