October 16, 2017 – Donald Trump asserted Barack Obama did not call the families of fallen soldiers. This was untrue. Obama had long meetings with the families of fallen soldiers, as confirmed by both Obama’s staff and the families themselves.
So "Scranton Firefighters for Trump" at the rally were not actually firefighters. Surely Vance will criticize them for Stolen Valor relating to First Responders. #stolenvalor #firefighters #jdvance #faketrumpralliers @scranton

There’s a #hollow #core at the center of Vance’s #originstory — his #falseclaim that he “#Grewup #poor”
— He also wears eyeliner

Most #veterans think #ShadyVance (#JDVance) — who never saw #combat himself — went too far with his '#stolenvalor' #claims; only #conservatives believe there are #legimate #issues.

#Republicans can stop with the "#StolenValor" accusations—Walz deserves recognition for his #military #career and everything he has done, and continues to do, for #veterans.

I want to address #ShadyVance's (#JDVance) Stolen Valor claims relating to Minnesota Governor #TimWalz.
Walz, a dedicated artilleryman for over 20 years, faced significant hearing loss that was classified as a 4 on the PULHES scale—a system used to assess the medical deployability of service members.

@lexfri 
JD Vance attacks Governor Tim Walz's service record based on a debunked story that first surfaced when Walz ran for Minnesota's top job in 2018.
It's a real shame that JD Bowman/Vance wasn't awarded the Silver Brenda Starr medal for meritorious service in Iraq, where he served in a press room.

#PeteButtigieg #slams #ShadyVance’s (#JDVance) “#stolenvalor” attack targeting #TimWalz.
#FalseClaim has been #rebutted by the #Minnesota #NationalGuard. Buttigieg also brought up the "#childlesscatlady" mess.
“Come to think of it, denigrating the #worth of a #soldier’s #service based on whether he deployed to a #warzone is… kind of like #denigrating the worth of a #woman’s #citizenship based on whether she happens to have #children.”
I know this won't stop anything, since the kind of people who spread these lies don't follow me (thank God, Buddha, Allah, Cthulhu, Moses, and Lemmy), but in case you need to educate someone in your life...

@GovTrack I seem to remember that #StolenValor is an actual crime
#USArmy #Confirms #TroyNehls Is #Ineligible for the #Combat #Badge He Proudly #Wears: #StolenValor
He told his #critics to “go ask the #Army” about his #CombatInfantrymanBadge. So we did — and it wasn’t good news for Nehls.

"More than a month after a news report revealed that the Combat Infantryman Badge Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, wears on his lapel was revoked since he was never eligible for the award to begin with, the congressman refuses to take the pin off."

In April 2024, #TownsvilleMayor & #bullshitartist Troy Thompson was the subject of scrutiny after doubts were raised in the media about his claims of having served with the Australian Army. After he attended Townsville's Anzac Day dawn service without any medals, Thompson admitted he did not have any medals of his own. This is despite Thompson claiming he served for five years as a reservist in Australia, with the 109th Signals Squadron before serving with the Special Air Service Regiment's 152 Signal Squadron, finishing his service with the 105th Signals Squadron.
When asked what his service number was, Thompson said he could not recall what it was because the only record of it was in a book where it had been noted down in handwriting in the mid-1990's. Thompson said he had asked unrelated federal MP Phillip Thompson for help in trying to locate his service number, but Phillip Thompson said he had not yet received any such request.
When asked by the Townsville Bulletin to provide evidence of the request having been submitted, Thompson said he would not be making any further comments about the issue. The Bulletin also claimed Thompson has since blocked some newspaper staff and local community leaders from his official mayoral social media channels.
A Current Affair interviewed Troy Thompson where he admitted the truth about his past. Enlisting in 1991, he served less than three years as a Reservist, largely in the Catering Corps.
#StolenValour Townsville Mayor Troy Thompson slammed by veteran groups over false military history.
#StolenValor Thompson has refused to stand down, telling the ABC he is "disappointed" councillors have turned against him but "looking forward" to addressing the matter at next week's council meeting.
In a lengthy post on social media on Friday night, Cr Thompson said he would not resign, regardless of any motion by the city's councillors at the next council meeting.
Special Air Service Association chair Martin Hamilton-Smith said his organisation investigated Cr Thompson's service history and found his purported links to the #SAS did not stack up.
“When people make these things up, and they're not true, I think they're trying to hang on to the coat-tails of people who have joined the Australian Defence Force — or in this case, special forces — and been through the mill and proved themselves," Mr Hamilton-Smith said.
"They want to be thought of by people as better than they genuinely are.
"It's wrong, it should be called out and it has been called out.
"It's a shame it wasn't called out before voting day."
Mr Hamilton-Smith, a former SAS soldier and South Australian politician, said the behaviour was a disappointing example of leadership and gave people a reason to be cynical about politics.
"I'm not sure how Mayor Thompson is going to be able to look people in Townsville in the eye — pretty solid community up there, they call a spade a spade — and be taken credibly going forward," he said.
#Townville mayor doesn’t know his own service number? That is extremely sus.
He was approached by the media at an #AnzacDay ceremony and asked to provide his service number to prove his military service.
“I am actively looking to get this number to put the questions about my service to bed,” Thompson said.
