Tim Kennedy is a Fraud

By Ronny Bruce

I always knew Tim Kennedy was a POS. Long before it was known that he was a liar, a serial liar, and before he committed multiple sins of stolen valor. We’re told green berets are “quiet professionals” – putting in work without the need for attention. But Tim Kennedy is the biggest “hey look at me” green beret the world has known. I call him social media green beret. Fox Sports commentator Emmanuel Acho refers to Los Angeles Chargers Quarterback Justin Herbert as a social media QB. He says he’s all flash, which makes for cool little social media clips, but lacks production and doesn’t win big games. So, Tim Kennedy is a social media green beret. He posts more pics and content than a Kardashian gal. Hardly a quiet professional…

I don’t criticize social media GB for his ghostwritten book. I wrote a book. Stories from warriors throughout the years need to be told. The public deserves to know what warfighters endure overseas along with the plight of returning veterans navigating society. Yet the motives for writing our books are completely different. And, as you will see throughout this article, social media GB’s book is full of lies that aren’t substantiated by the men who were on the ground with him. In fact, his brothers in arms are disgusted by the falsehoods written in Kennedy’s book. Bogus claims of earning Purple Hearts and medals for Valor barely scratch the surface. You’d think being a UFC fighter, green beret, ranger, sniper, combat vet, blah blah blah would be enough for most people to be satisfied with themselves and their accomplishments. But not for a serial liar and narcissist.

Social media GB isn’t the only media darling from the veteran community. I’ve heard them referred to as veteran influencers or bro vets, but I call them celebrity vets. Some deserve the accolades while others don’t. In recent years, as folks did some digging, it’s becoming clear that a lot of these celebrity vets are peddling bullshit stories. They’re manufactured by Uncle Sam to boost military recruitment. Most of their stories are ghostwritten, and most of the titles are about (me me me) being the badass. Some books that have come under fire from the veteran community are The Operator, Lone Survivor, American Sniper, and social media GB’s book Scars and Stripes. Lots of vets are marching forward to call out these stories, but one of the main seekers of truth comes from The Antihero Podcast hosted by Brent Tucker and Tyler Hoover. Tucker is a former Delta Force operator with a twenty-year career in special ops, and Hoover is a former infantryman and Iraq War veteran. In their episodes they break down each claim blow by blow: examining numerous interviews with the veteran in question, pointing out inconsistencies and changes in stories, interviewing other operators in the know or who were on the missions in question, and speculating on what they think really happened based on interviews and their expertise. The Tier 1 special ops community is small, so Brent Tucker can easily make a call to gather info from someone who knows what time it is.

I don’t want to dig too into the weeds about the operator and lone survivor’s stories, but Tucker does not believe the operator delivered the fatal shot that killed Osama bin Laden. Nor does he believe the lone survivor was involved in a fierce gun battle and crawled around for seven miles attempting to evade capture. He points out the numerous story changes by the operator in his interviews and public speaking events – along with accounts from other team members on the bin Laden raid that don’t jive with the operator’s story. Tucker believes he knows who fatally shot bin Laden, yet that dude ain’t talking. He’s a true quiet professional. When it comes to the lone survivor, Tucker and Hoover interview longtime SEAL Eric Deming in podcast episode 66 titled The Truth. Shocking claims are made that the attacking Taliban force included a dozen fighters (not hundreds), the battle was quick, and the lone survivor ran from the fight. Tucker says he spoke to men who were on the rescue patrol, and they found the dead SEALs with magazines in their weapons that were pretty much full. The lone survivor was found with full magazines. Deming claims there is a predator drone feed showing the lone survivor fleeing the fight. In the most explosive claim from the podcast, Tucker and Deming mention that lone survivor told the rescue force all SEALs on the mission were dead; thus, the rescue force slow-rolled their attempts to recover the SEALs. However, approximately ten days later the last SEAL was found, and the recovering force believed he’d been dead no more than 48 hours.

I’m not sure what to believe about these stories. What I do know is the lone survivor and his wife hosts the Team Never Quit Podcast, and, ironically, in an episode with the operator, the lone survivor admits that after the incident the navy provided him with lawyers, agents, publicists, and authors to tell his story. They gave him weeks of training to speak with the media and sent him on his media tour. I’d be willing to bet he was coached up on what story to tell. Imagine this: these celebrity vets are plucked out by Uncle Sam and given book deals, speaking engagements, celebrity status, and lavish multimillionaire lifestyles – all to spread propaganda to the American public. Why does Uncle Sam do this? For three reasons: 1) To boost military recruitment 2) To glamorize the war effort and make it more popular with the public and 3) To get ahead of a negative incident that will make the military or specific unit look bad. When nineteen operators get smoked, Uncle Sam must spin the narrative.

It's nothing new for Uncle Sam to pluck soldiers from battle, roll out a red carpet for a media tour, and turn these soldiers into celebrities to gain support for war effort. Following the epic Battle of Iwo Jima in the pacific theatre of World War II, marines planted a flag atop Mount Suribachi. Joe Rosenthal of the Associated Press snapped a pic of the second flag raising that became iconic. The photo was awarded a Pulitzer Prize, and statues were erected depicting the photo. Following the Battle of Iwo Jima, President Truman summoned the men who raised the flag back to D.C. to embark on a nationwide tour to sell war bonds. Six men raised the flag but only three survived. Rene Gagnon, John Bradley, and Ira Hayes arrived in the US to kick off tour. The red carpet was rolled out, and these men were paraded around the country to sell bonds so the men still in the field could continue to receive the things they needed to defeat the Japanese. The problem is Rene Gagnon and John Bradley were not part of the flag raising. Yet the narrative was set, and guys were told to keep their mouths shut. Harold Shultz and Harold Keller were two survivors who actually raised the flag. They never publicly mentioned their roles in raising flag or being in photo – quiet professionals. It’s suggested, from Keller’s private scrapbook, that he attempted to correct the record. But he received a letter from Major General Phillip H. Torrey in 1945 telling him to STFU. It wasn’t until 2019 that the US Marine Corps acknowledged who the true flag-raisers were.

This article won’t make me popular with the celebrity vet community. Maybe social media GB and his friends trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu will wanna kick my ass. But I’ll have support from the average rank and file vets who never received accolades for their service. For every celebrity vet or author, there are millions of veterans who never get their stories told. They’re the guys and gals out and about rockin’ average bods who never wear “thank me for my service” gear.

Yes, I wrote a book. It’s titled The Grunts of Wrath. Allow me to explain some differences between my book and the ghostwritten books from celebrity vets. For one, I wrote my book. Uncle Sam never came to me and offered agents, publishers, lawyers, and publicists to assist me. I had to pitch my story to agents and publishers – along with millions of other aspiring authors chasing their dreams. It came with tons of rejections until an indie publisher decided to give me a voice. Major publishers aren’t giving anyone the time of day unless they think they can make a buck off that person. Nine out of ten times those slots are reserved for celebrities. My story was chosen for its literary merit. No marketing or push from the publisher was provided to get my story out to the world. But I thought my story, and stories of men who fought alongside me, was worthy. I knew our stories would probably never get told if I didn’t write them. Plus, too many of my battle buddies were dying from suicide or recklessness. Too many men became addicted to drugs and alcohol, served time in prison, or got jerked around by a corrupt VA.

Why let the multimillionaire celebrity vets suck up all the oxygen? Check out the title and cover of my book vs the celebrity vets. Their titles are usually about themselves with a cool pic of them on the cover. The Grunts of Wrath is about the group, and the cover photo is from my personal stash that shows the faceless men patrolling down a road. Sure, I have a badass photo of me on the cover – the back! It’s not a “hey look at me” book like the one ghostwritten for social media GB. I wanted to be a reclusive author. That doesn’t make me a good marketer, though. I have less than 600 friends on Facebook, never posted a Facebook live video, never posted a Facebook story, no Instagram account, and never downloaded Tik Tok. I keep my Facebook page down to people I know just to keep in touch and talk smack. I don’t collect strangers. I have an X account I created to try and promote my book and connect with the writing community and other authors. But I don’t have tons of followers and make little attempts to gain them. It seems the only way to gain traction on X is to bark politics and argue with crackpots about buzzkill political issues. Social media GB, on the other hand, is constantly posting on Facebook, X, Instagram, and anywhere he can share pics and tell you all about himself. He gives Dan Bilzerian “The King of Instagram” a run for his money.

The following excerpt is the introduction from social media GB’s book.

My name is Tim Kennedy, and I have a problem: I only feel alive when I’m about to die. I’ve killed evil men on multiple continents, fought in main-event bouts in the UFC, served as a Green Beret, an EMT, a firefighter, and a cop. I’ve hunted Nazis, drug runners, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, human traffickers, rhino poachers, Al Qaeda, the Taliban, wildebeests, elk, bears, and have the recipe for the perfect souffle’. I fly helicopters, jump out of airplanes, dive mixed gas to the ocean depths, wrestle bulls with my bare hands, lift heavy weights, blow things up, and am proficient in just about every weapon under the sun. I train warriors, own companies, serve my country-and I’m just getting warmed up.

You can see he’s a humble man, right? Most people roll their eyes when they read that intro. But being a d-bag isn’t illegal. Committing stolen valor and profiting off the lies he’s living is. Let’s delve into his lies.

Episode 101 of The Antihero Podcast titled The Book of Lies takes a deep dive into two chapters from Kennedy’s book that focuses on a massive resupply convoy in Afghanistan. On Episode 106, The Book of Lies Part II, Travis Warlock the ground force commander of the convoy is interviewed. Kevin Wolf (Senior Communications Sergeant) and Matt Jenkins (K9 Handler) from the convoy are also interviewed. Podcast hosts Brent Tucker and Tyler Hoover did their homework and performed extensive research to expose social media GB as a fraud who commits more stolen valor than a phony war vet dressed in gear from the army surplus store. The amount of lies told in these two chapters is astonishing! These lies can’t be chalked up as fog of war mistakes or alternate visions through a different set of eyes. They are made up stories that never happened. Tucker and Hoover provide receipts that make for one rat bastard of a podcast.

The following is an excerpt from Kennedy’s book where he sets the tone before the resupply convoy takes off.

Oddly, I didn’t even consider we wouldn’t dominate the situation – whatever it turned out to be. I was the guy that came out on top in MMA fights I wasn’t supposed to win. I passed the 18 X-ray program I wasn’t supposed to pass. I made it on the CIF team no one had ever made it on without being on an A Team first. I chased down Zarqawi alongside a bunch of other trigger-pullers Call of Duty style on my first deployment. And I had just finished Ranger School as an honor graduate when challenged to do so. I was a fucking juggernaut. I was absolutely unstoppable. This was going to be just another few days of awesome for Tim Kennedy.

You’ve got to admire social media GB’s humility. That’s the last quote from the “book of lies” I’ll subject you to in this article. Immediately, a lie is already spotted in the first paragraph. Kennedy was not the honor grad for his Ranger School class – confirmed by Brent Tucker. In a lame rebuttal video that social media GB filmed in response to the Book of Lies podcast, Kennedy blames an editorial mistake while claiming his memory was fuzzy because the class was twenty years ago. He couldn’t remember the exact award he’d received. Sure. Do you think the salutatorian from my high school class thirty years ago mistakenly thinks she was the valedictorian all these years later?

I’m not going to dive deep into all the lies Kennedy told in the two chapters of his book concerning the convoy. The Antihero Podcast goes in depth with nearly six hours of content, between two episodes, where Kennedy’s teammates are interviewed. They basically listen to stories from book, laugh, and say something like – no, that didn’t happen. It’s not all fun and games, though. Social media GB sometimes makes the men look inept and unprofessional – all to make himself the hero. Travis Warlock and the others sometimes fume because they know Kennedy was a junior guy on the mission. In an ironic twist, Kevin Wolf mentions that Kennedy’s lies being outed has brought together a group of men who haven’t spoken to one another in over ten years. Wolf says over a dozen men have contacted him with, “Can you believe the BS in this guy’s book,” type of chatter. Again, I’m not going in detail here, but I will highlight some of the whoppers Kennedy told.

Kennedy insists throughout the story that Iranian fighters attacked the convoy. Brent Tucker plays an excerpt from another podcast where social media GB says they were attacked by 400 Iranian fighters, a vehicle flipped over, and Kennedy’s buddy was vaporizing Iranians with a .50 cal while Kennedy was taking out dudes with a sniper rifle. Then, Kennedy rushed forward to rescue and render aid to an Afghan soldier who had his leg blown off – resulting in social media GB’s uniform and kit being covered with blood. However, Warlock, Wolf, and Jenkins insists: one, they were never attacked by Iranians at any time, two, they were attacked by one or two guys rather than 400, three, waves of enemies weren’t being vaporized by machinegun fire, and four, no Afghan soldier was missing a leg - nor did Kennedy render aid resulting in his uniform being covered in blood.

In one of Kennedy’s more humorous claims, which resulted in numerous memes all over the internet, he says that he lugged around a backpack filled with fifty grenades just chucking them at the enemy. Kennedy insists he took down a mud hut with several grenades and killed enemies inside. Guess what? It never happened. Besides not being corroborated by anyone on the convoy, it’s laughable to believe any soldier would stuff a pack full of grenades. Warlock mentions that he couldn’t imagine stuffing a pack with just five grenades due to their sensitivity. What could possibly go wrong? Plus, anyone who’s served in Afghanistan knows how hardened those mud huts are. Grenades won’t take them out. My former team leader in Afghanistan once mentioned he was amazed at how a thousand-year-old mud hut structure was unharmed after hundreds of Mark 19 grenades were launched into it. The team leader was inspecting the building the day after the battle and mentioned we might as well have been launching rocks through a slingshot at it.

Kennedy even takes a shot at his ground force commander in his book saying he dressed him down and called him a pussy, coward, and politically correct officer for not ordering an airstrike on an Afghan school that Kennedy suspected was housing enemy fighters. Social media GB makes it sound as if the ground force commander was a junior officer on his first special forces deployment. In reality, Warlock was a prior enlisted “mustang” officer who served on several deployments as an enlisted and special operations officer. Warlock was offended by Kennedy’s characterization of him while stating that Kennedy never dressed him down or called him a coward. Wolf and Jenkins also state that Kennedy never did such a thing. The three pointed out that Kennedy was a junior member of the convoy, and no soldier low on the totem pole is ever dressing down an officer.

The one time that Kennedy did throw a grenade, after asking the ground force commander for permission, ended in chaos. Kennedy claims that he saw a rifle barrel coming from a window of a building, so he tossed a grenade into the window. In Kennedy’s book he goes into detail about how he and another soldier clear through the building and sees this family slaughtered and barely clinging to life. Kennedy then finds the medic and instructs him to tend to the family. While doing so, Kennedy spots the enemy who used the family as human shields and mows them down – exacting sweet justice for the family and sending the bad guys to Allah. That’s a cool story if it were true. According to Warlock, Wolf, and Jenkins, the family emerged from the building and simply walked out after Kennedy tossed the grenade. Kennedy never cleared the building and walked up to the mangled family. He never spots an enemy and never fires shots to kill the enemy and send them to Allah. It’s all horseshit. What Kennedy accomplished was wounding an innocent family to satisfy his desire to toss a grenade. In one of social media GB’s most egregious lies, he talks about how he cares for a wounded baby girl who was part of the injured family. Kennedy claims that after the incident when the patrol entered FOB Anaconda, he heads to the aid station and finds the baby girl. He then grabs the girl and holds her in his arms and rocks her to sleep. Kennedy goes into detail about his feelings and emotions while he sits and holds this baby girl for six hours as his legs go numb. Guess what? This never happened. Social media GB never cradled the wounded baby for six hours. According to Warlock, Wolf, and Jenkins, the injured family was immediately flown out on a medivac once the convoy returned to Anaconda. This leads me to believe that Kennedy is a psychopath. What kind of person would go on for pages in a book about holding a wounded child, describing every feeling and emotion, when it never happened? A lying narcissist who doesn’t give AF. They can spit lies about serious situations easily then go about their normal routines. Kevin Wolf stated that reading about Kennedy cradling the little girl to sleep for six hours made him sick to his stomach.

Kennedy writes in his book about him and another soldier climbing into a tower and sniping twenty enemy fighters over a two-day period while at FOB Anaconda. At this point do I have to ask if this is true? No one on the FOB can corroborate this story. First off, people would have been alarmed by random gunfire. Second, according to Warlock, only members of the Afghan Security Forces occupied the towers. Third, no one takes it upon themselves to go renegade and enter towers and shoot people without permission. Fourth, Warlock mentions that FOB Anaconda had their own snipers. Want to know what’s sick about this claim? The person who Kennedy says was inside the tower with him, the only person who can confirm the story, is dead. He was killed in action during a combat tour. It’s shameful that Kennedy would place an honorable soldier who was killed in battle into his web of lies. Conveniently, that deceased soldier shows up in Kennedy’s most outlandish tales.

What about Kennedy writing in his book about being wounded and earning a Purple Heart? He says he received shrapnel to his neck, back, and arm – barely missing an artery. Being the hero, social media GB argues with the medic and refuses to board the bird and be flown out for treatment. Guess what? According to Warlock, Wolf, Jenkins, and two medics on the convoy, Kennedy never had a scratch on him. He was never wounded and never argued with the doc. There is no Purple Heart in Kennedy’s military records. In fact, Brent Tucker obtained a copy of Kennedy’s DD-214 to prove the Purple Heart is fake. Check out one of Kennedy’s UFC fights and see if you can spot shrapnel wounds on his body. Ain’t like he wasn’t partaking in an occupation that requires him to be shirtless! In a lame rebuttal, Kennedy doubles down that he was wounded and says he’ll correct the record once he retires from service – he’s not a big paperwork guy. Okay. For one, it’s almost impossible to correct records through the Veteran’s Administration following service. Why wouldn’t he take care of it while still active? Soldiers are encouraged to make sure everything in their record is up to date before leaving the military. Besides, do you think Mr. Hey Look at Me wouldn’t have his Purple Heart in his record and on his chest as soon as possible so he could share pics of it on Instagram? Cracka pleez…

To wrap up the convoy lies, Kennedy writes about entering a village and seeing a rotting corpse hanging from a tree. Again, social media GB goes into detail about his emotions while feeling dead inside. He breaks down and cries. Little girls approach and attempt to wash the blood and guts from Kennedy’s uniform as he weeps. Guess what? There is no rotting corpse hanging from a tree, no little girls approaching to wash blood and guts from Kennedy’s uniform, and, according to Warlock, Wolf, and Jenkins, Kennedy’s uniform isn’t covered with blood and guts. In fact, there’s a picture of social media GB following the patrol, and his uniform is as clean as a whistle. It’s obvious that whenever Kennedy’s ghostwriter goes into the most detail is when you know he’s lying. Hell, Kennedy is the textbook – you know he’s lying ‘cuz his lips are moving.

On the bright side for social media GB, he’s been exonerated of war crimes. He states in his book that at one point while frustrated he goes on a killing spree shooting anyone who looks at him wrong. Getting called out for this lie by Warlock and others spares Kennedy from facing an international court. Though being exonerated, Warlock is frustrated because readers will believe that special forces operators mow down innocent people because they’re angry and in their feelings. Green Berets do not operate that way. They’re much too professional.

Besides a Purple Heart, Kennedy claims he was awarded medals for Valor. Here’s one of his social media posts: “This is what the military has done for me. In 15 years I have traveled to a few dozen countries. On every combat deployment I was awarded medals for valor…” Guess what? There are no Valor awards in his records. He was, however, awarded a Bronze Star. But every veteran knows that a Bronze Star without a V Device is nothing more than a participation trophy for staff NCOs and officers on a deployment. Social media GB gives another lame excuse for this lie – editorial mistakes - yet it doesn’t cut the mustard. Before Kennedy’s lies were called out, his websites and social media accounts stated he earned a Bronze Star with a V Device for Valor in the bios. There are clips on the internet showing Kennedy being introduced for speaking engagements as a combat veteran who earned a Bronze Star with a V Device for Valor. Social media GB knows the difference between a Bronze Star and one with a Valor Device; those lines cannot be blurred. Plus, we all know that Kennedy provided the bio to the people who were making the introductions for his speaking engagements.

The bottom line is Kennedy is a liar and a POS. His book is nothing but BS, and The Antihero Podcast only examined two chapters of it and uncovered a ton of lies. Every podcast that Kennedy appeared on has been nothing but him spewing bullshit while patting himself on the back. You’d think Jack Carr and Shawn Ryan would’ve called him out over his nonsense, but they let him just roll on with the lies. Social media GB bullshitted Joe Rogan, too. Yet I don’t fault Rogan for not calling him out since he’s an MMA junkie and not a military veteran who might know better. Stolen valor is mainly a d-bag move. When I see an obvious fake dressed in military cosplay gear telling false war stories, I simply roll my eyes and write it off as if the person is mental. However, Kennedy is a servicemember who should know better. It’s much more shameful when a veteran commits stolen valor. Plus, stolen valor isn’t a crime unless it results in monetary gain. A Holly Springs, GA police officer was once charged with a crime when it was discovered that he used forged documents to obtain a Purple Heart license plate. In Georgia a Purple Heart recipient isn’t required to pay a vehicle tax; thus, the police officer was breaking the law since he was benefitting monetarily off his stolen valor. One can argue that Tim Kennedy has made millions through his companies based off all his lies about his military service. Can you believe organizations pay this piece of trash up to 100K to come speak to them?

I hope the American public understands that most veterans aren’t liars and wannabe social media stars. In fact, I invite Brent Tucker and Tyler Hoover from The Antihero Podcast to scrutinize The Grunts of Wrath, searching for lies and bullshit stories. Seek out my battle buddies and ask them if the stories are true. So far, the book has been out for over two years and no one from my military past has disputed the stories. Everything has been confirmed from the lowest level up to my former company first sergeant praising the story. Dr. Preston Jones from The War & Life Podcast interviewed my acting platoon sergeant, team leader, platoon medic, and myself, then posted the interviews to YouTube. One can see that when we’re talking about the same incident the stories match; there may be some differences in perspective, lengths of time, or matching details from the fog of war. But the thesis is the same. Some folks suggest that veterans shouldn’t criticize other veterans. We shouldn’t eat our own. Nonsense. When someone brings shame to a certain community then those bad actors must be called out. If not, then some folks will believe all veterans are lying narcissists who love to embellish and write false stories. If a veteran blows up a building, commits mass murder, whatever, then it is our duty as vets to condemn the perpetrator or else we’ll be opening it up for some civilians to label all veterans as domestic terrorists. Thus, earning the title of veteran is not a free pass to become a POS.

Nowadays you can see social media GB rubbing elbows with the political class while the veteran community washes its hands of him. He appears at rallies, cabinet confirmation hearings, CPAC, on cable news shows, and he attended the presidential inauguration. Kennedy never misses an opportunity to post pics from these events on social media. Standing side-by-side with Charlie Kirk, Doug Collins, RFK Jr, Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth, Morgan Luttrell, Tommy Tuberville, and other politicians and pundits, Kennedy poses with that dopey smile. I doubt these people realize what kind of cancer they’re standing next to. Yet I wouldn’t be surprised if a partisan influencer or politician cares if they’re locked arm and arm with a serial lying POS. If someone with a high profile and tons of followers promotes their ideas, I’m willing to bet they don’t give AF. Thank God the veteran community knows what time it is. I feel confident that if social media GB ever runs for some political office, the veteran community will bring the hammer down – squashing his political aspirations.

Kennedy needs to STFU and disappear for a while. Step away from social media. Practice some humility and learn what he should’ve learned about being a quiet professional. He won’t, though. He’ll double down and continue his heathen ways. Travis Warlock suggested he go on The Antihero Podcast and clear the air. Yet social media GB shut that down and told Warlock that he’d just bring more likes and views to a podcast that doesn’t deserve him nor the views. Good ole social media GB – all about the likes and views. If you were accused of stolen valor, wouldn’t you rush to the podcast and confront the accusers? Praying for tons of views to witness you clearing your name? Brent Tucker simply asks Kennedy to come on the pod and apologize, and everyone will forgive and forget. It’ll never happen. What needs to happen is the US Army should strip Kennedy of his Special Forces Tab, force him to retire, and allow the disgraced soldier to draw his pension. Get him the fuck outta uniform so he won’t continue to be a bad influence on young warriors. Like Tucker alluded to, if privates try and emulate Kennedy’s “Call of Duty” style tactics from his book of lies in combat then it’ll be a good way to die.

For the love of God, I hope clueless civilians never seek Kennedy’s Sheepdog Response for tactical training. FYI, no servicemembers use the term sheepdog. I never heard it during my time in two branches of service. Social media GB probably stole the term after he heard it in a movie – like he stole the title for his book from a Vietnam veteran’s book about life as a POW. Plus, only d-bags who never served, rockin’ a Grunt Style shirt, bark about being the sheepdog. Kennedy isn’t Captain America; he’s Major Bullshit. I’d love to see the average rank and file vets start podcasts about the issues and daily lives of teachers, cops, blue-collar workers, plumbers, truckdrivers, businessmen, etc. who once served in the military. If I had one, I wouldn’t try and sell you ammunition, tactical gear, and “thank me for my service” shirts and caps – just honest stories from the unknown. Again, why let celebrity vets like lying Tim Kennedy suck up all the oxygen? Oh, and Tim, I’ve got something that you lied about having – a medal for Valor \m/
