Phony Soldier Was Mental Patient
Yet another Vet against America has turned out to be a fraud — but at least "Rick Duncan" has the excuse of being officially insane:

The leader of a statewide veterans group who fought for homeless veterans in Colorado Springs was in the Denver County jail on Wednesday, unmasked as a former psychiatric patient who posed as a wounded Marine officer and 9/11 survivor.
Federal authorities are looking into whether Rick Duncan, whose real name is Richard Glen Strandlof, could have pilfered money he raised in the name of Colorado veterans, said Daniel Warvi of the Colorado Veterans Alliance (CVA), the group that Duncan founded. …
Strandlof, 31, who invented the name Duncan and claimed he was a former Marine captain and 1997 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, never served in the military and falsely claimed that he was in the Pentagon during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the group said. …
The group said it found that Strandlof had been a patient in a mental hospital in Washoe County, Nev., at the time of the roadside bombing in Fallujah, Iraq, that he claimed left him severely wounded.

Strandlof apparently made off with $25,000 he raised during a charity event. Like other fake vets, he's quick to denounce the military in which he never served:

Strandlof often spoke of his mistreatment by Defense Department officials, saying they dragged their feet on giving him a disability retirement.

Strandlof is a member of the phony moonbat cults VoteVet and Iraq Veterans Against the War. An all purpose progressive, he takes part in other do-gooder crusades, with typical thuggish righteousness:

Last year, Strandlof drew headlines in Colorado Springs … by threatening to sue the city unless it suspended city-sponsored cleanups of homeless camps that Strandlof claimed were victimizing veterans.
He also appeared in TV ads for Democrat congressional candidate Hal Bidlack, who ran as a retired Air Force officer.

But don't call him a phony soldier. That could get you denounced by Senate Democrats.


"Rick Duncan" — phony as Obama's flag pin.

It doesn't shock me in the least. There are certified loons on both sides of the political spectrum. There's something about political action that brings out the real crazies.

Is this how your country treats wounded vets in need of psychiatric help?

Frankly, I'm appalled.

"The group said it found that Strandlof had been a patient in a mental hospital in Washoe County, Nev., at the time of the roadside bombing in Fallujah, Iraq, that he claimed left him severely wounded."

Perhaps the IED rocked his brain, jarring his memory. Have you ever considered that? Have you?

Bunch of armchair generals...FUCK YOU!

So... he was just a little mixed up about a few dates & locations?

I gotta admire your ingenuity, comrade Martyred

What, $25,000 and your panties are in a wad? What about all the Bernies who have completely raped the entire world economy? Share the love, guys.

Don't be so hard on yourself and mvscal.

Not that I disagree, of course.

Bernie's just a jew who scammed other jews. However, both Bernie, and Strandlof were huge contributors to the DemocRat cause over the years- each in their own way, of course

Thanks Cuda, and RACK the troops. Even the fake ones.

RACK the troops. Even the fake ones.

Leave the Canadian armed forces out of this.
