Not sure what it is yet, or if he’s even in the possession of a new url.
Concern’s appreciated Anon, but why would I get my panties in a bunch over words that aren’t even about me?
He, in my opinion, deserves what he gets.
Oh, this isn’t the actual shit-fuck who thought he’d be able to lie his way into feeling better.
Just someone who felt what he did was beyond disgusting.
You know, there are few things I hate more than stolen valor. Better put, I hate people who pretend to be something they’re not.
Meet Zachary Murphy.
(http://secret-squirrel-afghanistan.tumblr.com)Zachary claims to be a tri-mos qualified (whatever the fuck that means), Embedded Special Forces Operator (no such thing), who is an Airborne Infantry Soldier (more on that in a second) currently serving in Afghanistan.
So I noticed this guy one day while searching through Afghanistan tags on tumblr, and he immediately struck me as…well, a liar.
First off, he claims to be an embedded special forces operator. When I asked him about this, he claims:
As the task force likes to say we are embedded operators. Doing everything they do while being subject matter experts in a primary part of the mission.
This is most definitely bullshit. I’ve been attached to a Special Forces unit overseas. They never, ever, not even once, referred to us as “operators.” And we never claimed to be, either. We’re infantrymen, and we’re proud of that. Not to mention, the only people who are ever embedded into units are civilians. He might be ATTACHED to a SF unit, but claiming to be an embedded operator is blatantly false.
To further prove this point, the pictures he posts of himself are that of a clean cut soldier. If he truly was attached to a SF unit (in the manner which he claims he is) he would be following their modified uniform and appearance standard. Meaning that he would have long hair and a beard. Or at least the attempt at one. Nope.
Next - he claims to be Airborne Infantry. Well, when he posted pictures of himself in his dress uniform, he had no blue chord, and no wings.
I don’t need to elaborate on that any further. Do I? Nah.
One of his next claims is that:
I am tri-MOS (meaning three qualified MOSs) I will not tell you what they are because they pertain to my mission and the mission I am assigned with now is classified.
What the fuck does this even mean? Your MOS in the military is not a classified thing. You can tell anyone, at any time, what you do. When talking with the media it’s one of the few things you ARE allowed to say. Not to mention, that I’ve never in my life heard of anyone referring to themselves as “tri-qualified” when having more than one MOS. Doing so is just an attempt to create some mystery about himself, and to obfuscate the fact that he’s not what he’s claiming to be.He also claims a whole bunch of things that make no sense what so ever, and it’s basically just a ton of really stupid bullshit.
OH, RIGHT, I FORGOT ABOUT THE MOST DAMNING EVIDENCE. (No I didn’t..I just wanted to create some drama).
The fact that I looked him up in the Army personnel system, and he’s only a PV2 - AND HE’S A FUCKING MP. WHAT’S SO FUCKING CLASSIFIED ABOUT THAT? You can’t tell people you’re a buddy fucking MP? And what the fuck do you do as an MP that a Green Beret can’t do, or isn’t a subject matter expert in, eat donuts?
Want proof of this? Look at the picture up top. That certainly looks like our boy, doesn’t it? YUP.
So basically, if you follow this guy, or you’re in the military, or you just hate liars - let him know what you think about him. He’ll probably delete his tumblr, he’ll probably deny it, but that’s ok. I now know his unit, his commander, basically everything there is to know about him.
Let’s just say I don’t deal with liars well.
(This is what happens when I’m waiting for my job to start, with nothing better to do.)
