Currently serving anons, veterans, and LARPers of PrepHole: I present to you, the Queen of Stolen Valor
>There is no record of Cavanaugh ever serving in the U.S. military. She did, however, work as a licensed social worker for the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Providence.
>It was through the job that she gained access to documents, personal information and medical records belonging to a real veteran with cancer, which she used to create fraudulent documents and medical records in her name that said she had been honorably discharged and had cancer, prosecutors said when she was charged last March.
>When Cavanaugh said that she could not afford the insurance deductibles for her cancer treatment, the same veteran whose identity she had stolen and who is identified in court papers only by his initials, agreed to pay them for her - nearly $600 per month - an act that "plumbed the depths of moral depravity," prosecutors said.
>Cavanaugh said she served in Iraq and Afghanistan from 2009 until 2016, rose to the rank of corporal, and was being treated for lung cancer as a result of exposure to burn pits and from inhaling particulate matter from a bomb explosion, according to authorities.
>She accepted more than $225,000 from the Wounded Warrior Project alone to help pay for yoga classes, gym membership, groceries and physical therapy, among other things, according to prosecutors.
>She took her fraud to such extremes, authorities said, that she told people at her gym that injuries to her fingers left her unable to tie her shoes, so someone else had to get down on their knees to tie her laces whenever she wanted to work out.

Pretty based. Stolen Valor is epic and I support it. I was in the Marines.

This stuff used to piss me off. We live in such a clown world now, I just react with a sensible chuckle.
>how do people get away with this? people in the military have very distinctive slang and way of speaking,
My father is a Cold War era combat veteran. He once introduced me to a guy who he later told me had been a A GWOT Army helicopter pilot, and a cop, and was doing 'security work,' and so on. The next time I mentioned the guy (months/years later) he told me that someone had basically clued him in that the guy was a stolen valor/bullshitter. Many people are trusting of others if you just act like a decent person and sell the lie with a straight face and semi-convincing manner. Don't make the lie too big, or obviously fake.
>I will never understand how Americans fawn over literal government employees.
American here. I am in constant awe of the list of retards that periodically get ass kissed, blown, and hand-jobbed wholesale.
>Sportsball players
>Celebrities
>Politicians (especially corrupt ones)
>Teachers
>Cops
>Firemen
>Military
>Nurses/Doctors
We get told that every fucking one is a hero. Common sense tells anyone that while most might be OK people, most of them are also probably shitty at doing their jobs at best, and a bunch of them are either lazy, or just collecting their check and don't give a fuck.
>Secondly why does this shit only happens in America?
See above. We have a population where only about 5% is either in the military or even knows someone in the military. There are a lot of people that want to feel like they are helping and being patriotic, but don't know any better and are easily taken in.
I had one guy try to convince me that he was kicked out of Marine boot camp for sleeping with his CO, who was super hot, transferred to the Army, then made a "marksman". I tried humoring him by asking which rifle he was issued, since my platoon had half a dozen DM's. He told me, and I quote "You're gonna laugh, everyone does, but they gave me an M1 Garand, because that's what I was used to shooting".
I had to hold my tongue, because this retard had gotten my friend's sister pregnant and I didn't want to deal with it later.
>most of them are also probably shitty at doing their jobs at best
As far as sports go I think its competitive enough that they are legitimately good at their job. However like celebrities I don't think it qualifies them to have an opinion worth listening to on anything else.
>She took her fraud to such extremes, authorities said, that she told people at her gym that injuries to her fingers left her unable to tie her shoes, so someone else had to get down on their knees to tie her laces whenever she wanted to work out.
lol
in US whites always do this in front of afros
Aww a seamoron.
how do people get away with this? people in the military have very distinctive slang and way of speaking, its like a completely different language, not to mention intimate knowledge of minor stuff like base layouts, day to day activities, schedules and so on, even extremely minor stuff like what type of food you get on what days. the average person couldn't even tell you what an "unit" is. fake ex-military are EXTREMELY easy to spot. how do people get away with this? the amount of effort she must have put into creating her character and learning all this stuff must be mind boggling, like something out of a spy novel.
if you would interact with actual people you would know that pedantic knowledge like that is of absolute zero consequence and care to a regular person who might meet a stolen valor, they will just take it at face value and its forgotten 2 minutes later already
yeah no one cares thank you for your service and enjoy $2 off your grand slam at denny's
It's probably an advantage for the scammer since it screens out anyone with common sense. Like how phishing scammers intentionally use misspellings and poor grammar.
She only got caught because a random female Marine noted that if she had actually recieved a Bronze Star and Purple heart, the DoD and Marine Corps would have put her all over the news like the Army with Jessica Lynch.
Female jealousy setting things right, lol
kek
I know a guy who says he has had terminal cancer for ten years and was doing secret squirrel stuff in Afghanistan and Iraq for twenty years before that
>Which I really can't talk about, it's classified
And everyone buys it kek
When I was little some fat old fuck told me he was in the SEALs and was “picking off targets with iron sights at 2km”.
There was a kid at my summer camp in like 1988 who insisted he was a Vietnam veteran.
Damn u old.
Yeah, it sucks. Not recommended.
I'm sorry anon 🙁
Where is this from? Who is this? It better not be a man
He's a man
sauce me moron
I can't find it anymore
Because it's forbidden to fact check wiminz these days. If this was a dude he'd be exposed within days. But as men we're getting thought fact checking is a mens privilege.
Tbf she sounds like a mega Karen but otherwise I'd hook up with her.
The average person doesn't know any of that, and in the US in particular there's plenty of RESPEC DA TROOOPS propaganda flailing around despite the vietnam war and later treatment of soldiers, so people are afraid of being seen as disrespectful to someone in uniform.
Knowledge of military anything as a non-military member is considered suspect to most normies. Always has been.
Government and competence can not coexist
Bro you have no idea how many pieces of shit have fraudulent purple hearts.
I will never understand how Americans fawn over literal government employees.
wtf the little guy on the amerimutt medal is jorge shultzheimrbergstein the german irish war hero of the us revolution, ive seen it in movies but never knew what it was meant to represent
It's George Washington
ITS HORHEY SHULTZHEIMERBERGSTEIN YOU FUCKING MEXICAN gay
It's our first commander in chief George Washington you idiot
yeah thats what i said, jorge shultzheimerbergstein
This is what George Washington looks like today
What?
Anon I think you're overdosing on Mossad and MSS astroturf.
I have never served and that does not embarass me
But I know some homeless mfers hooked on the bottle cause they did serve and blew up civvies for Israel
Plenty of vets and active military in the militias as well
Am physically fit, survived gunfights, and am proficient with a rifle from the age of six. I honestly believe that I am a better killer than a boot or a green grunt, but I don't kill for Israel.
Cool
I bet you can't even see your own toes when you look down lmao
>duh muhlitias
>muh israel
Are they in the room right now?
>I am a better killer
The military doesn't need killers.
And yet it's all it has. You agreed to kill people in exchange for meager wage, because you have absolutely no other applicable skills.
You can only argue if it has killers or hypocrites, but that's it.
Vast majority of people in the military are not trained to kill nor have jobs that require them to do so. I'd wager that over 75 percent of the military never touches a weapon after basic.
You are required to qualitfy every 6 months with a passable PT test you fucking mongaloid. Pic related.
Most killing that is being done doesn't happen with a rifle and it is not personal. Being a good rifleman amounts to hunkering down and not getting shot until artillery or air strikes clean things up
Take meds and fuck off to your containment board
>I honestly believe that I am a better killer than a boot or a green grunt
Nah, cause the grunt is going to show up with a squad, because he plays a team sport. Unfair? Yes, ofcourse. A great instructor once told us, we shouldn't try to engage in combat, but pre-meditated murder.
nta but the US military has lost in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan
They tied in Korea
It doesn't matter how good you are at your job if your government invariably fails to achieve it's objectives
How to exactly did they loose in Iraq?
>loose
bro do your fucking homework
>soldiers
>valor
Lol fuck off moron.
>being an ESL zoomer
What's the image have to do with this
Soldiers should be thrown out of cities just like in pic related, not being told that there is valor in what they do.
That cop was a Korean war veteran.
>American dogs
>having valor
David Cross?
David Star
Well, you tried.
This says more about the US medical system than her
My mum is Stolen Valor-adjacent.
She has told people she has only 1 son (I have at least three brothers) who joined the Army, was deployed in Afghanistan, died there, and she milks this for sympathy and to manipulate people
Feels bad man
I contacted one of those groups that go after Stolen Valor people but they said as she isn't claiming service for herself they cant do anything
>you and your brothers are such a dissapointment your mother imagines you're all dead
>mfw she gets out of prison after convincing everyone she's actually a guard
Alright burgers
Firstly this is so fucking outrageous and infuriating it becomes hilarious.
Secondly why does this shit only happens in America?
Thirdly I'd expect nothing less than life in jail for this, but realistically because "muh poor wamyn didn't know any better" what's gonna happen?
TOPKEK
>Secondly why does this shit only happens in America?
Several reasons;
>has a sizable military
>actually goes to war
>still has societal respect for those that served which crosses into fanatical reverence in certain areas
>despite being underwhelming for those that get turned into stumps by IEDs there ARE benefits given out
America is one of the few places that checks all of those boxes, and you also hear about stolen valor type of shit more because the 3rd trait turns simple crimes into huge moralistic uproars ripe for the media. In other nations that shit would probably just be brushed off as basic bitch fraud and not even be noticed.
>Secondly why does this shit only happens in America?
Who fucking cares if you're a veteran anywhere else? We worship prior military and even go so far as to call people who haven't even seen combat "Veterans"
Criticize the last twenty years of wasteful adventurism and you're the worst piece of shit to everyone here
>Secondly why does this shit only happens in America?
Allow me to introduce you to "Migz".
America is based in military culture. In my country we don't respect soldiers. There's stories on the news about certain towns evicting you if you served.
>Secondly why does this shit only happens in America?
There are literally thousands of former "vets" from the Yugoslav wars who spent the entire war in Germany or Australia or wherever. The so called "Munich brigades."
Funny how it's against the law to lie about being in the military, but not about how you got into congress.
It's only a lie to profit from it, the law as originally passed that made all of it illegal was deemed unconstitutional, and arguably the law is pointless because it would have already been illegal to profit from lying about being in the military as you would be charged with fraud.
It's not illegal to lie about being in the military, it's illegal to fraudulently claim benefits.
It's also not against the law to lie about anything while being a Democrat.
Lying about pretty much anything isn't a crime, lying to obtain some monetary or other benefit (whether from the government, companies or private individuals) is by definition fraud. If you lie to an investigator or court official during an investigation that's obstruction of justice, if you lie under oath that's perjury.
THATS BETO SHULTZHEIMERBERGSTEIN
You sound like a schizo, OP
dishonest lineage
Liars in general are such trash people. Pretender scum.
>7 years to make corporal
what
Not uncommon in the corps
>7 years normal
Maybe if you don't have tits and a hole.
Like being a chick with a Bronze Star, it should have been a quick giveaway.
Fucking kek. 10 yrs ago, I might have cared. Now I regret having zero disability despite doing a 12 month deployment and going outside the wire almost everyday. I know so many veterans who have "PTSD" and other fake nonsense and get gibs for life. I fucked up, I should have treated the US government like morons do and claim to be a moron for that sick 100 disability. For anyone still in the Army, start sick call rangering about your back, knees, nightmares, sleep apnea, ect. I didn't want to be a moron and I lost out on the gravy train.
Did you even try going to the VA?
I get VA health care. Do a check up on e a year, it's cheap but not free. But no disability. I told them I didn't want to be a parasite because some guys are missing limbs and burned ect. They still thought I should try to get something but I was 24 and still a patriot. If I was older when I got out , I would have taken the gay loving US government to the cleaners. Oh well, cheap health care and a free college degree was ok I guess, then again I know people getting there loans forgiven lol.
If you are a veteran (I doubt it). Then you are a traitor, a stain on this nation. Look in the mirror, do better.
It's not too late to submit a claim. You absolutely should. If it gets approved (it probably will even if at a very low rate) you'll get back pay from the time of submission. That's your money that you're donating to the government.
>I told them I didn't want to be a parasite because some guys are missing limbs and burned ect.
it is morally imperative to steal back every cent that you can that the government has taken from us if given the opportunity
>ect
etc, short for et cetera.
