You do remember OWS hero Sgt. Shamar Thomas, right? The anti OWSers are just too eager to find the proof he's fake marine, but in vain. The guy is so popular these days and made it to Countdown TV interview with Keith Olbermann. Check the interview with celeb sarg:
This guy is an atention whore.
ReplyDeleteAnd, you can't spell. Who is the dummy now?
DeleteHe is a fraud. There's no information on him in Wikipedia. Plus I read the comments from REAL Marines who watched the YT videos, many of them stated he was wearing his medals in the wrong place and his time over in Iraq doesn't add up.
ReplyDeleteYour stupid. Contrary to your belief, not every marine is on wikipedia retard. Sgt thomas is a real former marine with real combat experience he wears his uniform the way he does because it goes along with the way he is aggressively attacking these cops. No we don't wear ribbons on our utility uniforms but that goes along with showing hes not fake...anyone can say they went wherever but this guy it's real. He has the right combination of earned ribbons that go with what he claims...next time don't be a prick when you think about taking shit about a marine
DeleteWell douche, I am a Marine, and I don't think any real Marine would appreciate how this so-called war vet is wearing our beloved uniform for his own personal satisfaction and 15 minutes of fame. So you know we don't wear ribbons on the utility, but its ok to wear your uniform out of regs just because of your personal motivated cause? This one man does not represent our entire corp, and personally he is putting it to shame.
DeleteHe's doing you a service. As a former RAAF serviceman, I'm glad to see a soldier show a little backbone in times of desperation. Sick of seeing soldiers such as yourself acting like robots and unable to summon enough nerve to stand up for the rights of your people. The very fact that half of you cannot comprehend a soldier wearing his medals over his cammies as a symbolic gesture only proves you're absolute drones.
DeleteIf he's discharged he can wear the uniform however he wants...
DeleteNo he can't wear the uniform however he wants, pogue.
DeleteDoD Instruction 1334.01
Para 3.1.3 The wearing of the uniform by members of the Armed Forces (including retired members and members of Reserve components)…is prohibited when participating in activities such as unofficial public speeches, interviews, picket lines, marches, rallies or any public demonstration…
Para 3.2 Former members of the Armed Forces…may wear the uniform in the highest grade held during such war service only on the following occasions and in the course of travel incident thereto: 3.2.1 Military funerals, memorial services, weddings, and inaugurals.
3.2.3 Wearing of the uniform or any part thereof at any other time or for any other purposes is prohibited.
As for the former "RAAF" serviceman, STFU.
no information on him in wikipedia...Im an active duty Marine...there aint no wiki on me! I guess Jesus wasnt real either huh?
DeleteI agree with the DoD Inst. wear the uniform CORRECTLY! hell, crack open a history book! our forefathers protested in uniform-and i bet they didnt look like trash doing it.
you really wanna make a change there, NCO? put on your CHARLIES and take your case to the House/Senate. Light a fire under the butts of the lawmakers who bilk our cash every year without solid leadership and decisiveness. If your going to go..GO HARD GO SHARP!
God bless you all and our country. seek peace.
First, if you're out of IRR, you do not fall under the UCMJ or DoD instructions. Supreme Court struck down the Stolen Valor Act anyway. What I want to know is why I can't find him on MoL. Even Marines that have been out for years still show up on that thing.
DeleteLmao, I stopped reading after Wikipedia. So every man and woman in uniform has their own little wikipedia page?! Didn't know that...Wow You're such a clueless retard, your opinions don't even deserve to get read.
Deletedude... stfu... who cares about wikipedia.
ReplyDeleteHes not a marine, he doesnt wear is uniform properly... puts his merits on his BDUS top? And your not even supposed to wear BDUS outside of base as a Marine, yet alone wear it improperly.
ReplyDeleteWiki don't mean shit. Though I think a lot of the OWS protesters are dickheads and Shamar is just a big mouth flapping his soup coolers over abuse that didn't happen. Just because he wears the awards and earned incorrectly doesn't make him a fake, it just makes him an asshat. At least he is trying to wear a medal of honor and claiming that his unit burned bodies in a mosque like some of the fakes do.
ReplyDeleteOk i am in the USMC and i know that if i was discharged, i would still never ever wear my desert or woodland utilities out in public no matter what. He even has ribbons which are out of order, and his rank insignia on top of his ribbons. If he was able to wear his uniform however he wanted like some people state on here, why doesn't he wear them the right way? Every true Marine would say the same because we do not disgrace our uniform on any circumstance. Also, no Sgt that i serve with would EVER EVER wear their uniforms out of regs. They are NCO's, and every NCO i know looks squared away and holds themselves to a higher standard than their junior Marines. To me, this guy is just trying to voice his opinion, and the only way to do it was to put on a uniform that people recognize as honorable and gives him a voice over just being in civilian attire. If you don't agree, you have never served a day in my Marine Corps PERIOD.
ReplyDeleteStop sucking marine dick and get over the fact if he wears his uniform wrong way. You dumb marines are worse than fashion divas
ReplyDeleteHe is a fucking veteran you guys. He isn't going to wear his FULL uniform on his evening walk everynight, and even for a vet, it is illegal to wear ALL uniform items, correctly, inaccordance. He is following the law by wearing his BDU top with the ribbon rack, and rank misplaced. I spent time working with the Marines, I have family in the Marines, and I am going in after I finish college. As fot this wikipedia bullshit, you're not going to find every single Marine, Soldier, Sailor, and Airman on there. That's why we have the National Archives, I believe it is. Wikipedia is a faulty source to fall onto to. If I wanted to, I could go on wikipedia and make a topic for Thomas and say he was the first REAL African American Santa in the world, who won a fucking Purpla Heart, Bronze Star, and the Congressional Medal of Honor. I could assure you that atlest 40% of everyone that reads that will believe a majority of it, the other 60% will actually do some fucking research. My point is, even if you found him on wikipedia, you can't believe everything. Use other sites/sources. Sorry for being such a dick, but I get tired of shit like this here and there. OOH RAH, SEMPER FI MARINES. Fight on.
ReplyDeleteHe is not a veteran you don't wear your uniform whether all of it or partial for any reason especially for a political agenda and being on national T.V. especially. So your wrong anonymous.
DeleteWhy so serious
ReplyDeleteLet me say this to you retards that believe it's ok for a Marine to wear his uniform like that for his political agendas. There is a wrong way and a right way to protest. His way is the wrong way, you don't go out and disrespect the uniform like that and then get on national t.v. and look like that. That is why i say he is not a Marine veteran and even if he is and no longer under any obligation with the Marine Corp. You will always have respect for the uniform. And you don't wear service medals and ribbons on the utility uniform no matter what, so this guy is NOT A MARINE all you that believe he is get a life.
ReplyDeleteBoys, boys, stopping comparing dick size. Did he help the people or not? Were you so mind-controlled to "the brotherhood" that what you're most concerned about is 1/ did he wear his metals properly and 2/ is he a "real" marine.
ReplyDeleteWho are you? A drone who only follows rules and orders? When you were serving, you didn't follow all the rules. Not at all. In fact, how much guilt do you feel about not standing up for the right thing, instead of the pc thing or the rule or the law? Don't pick up your weapons when you have no ammunition. Stand up for something you believe in when you're ALL ALONE. That doesn't make you a Marine or a soldier... It makes you human.
BTW I'm a woman. Wake up.
