Anyone know this guy?
Someone dropped a link on this article at our fan page last night, and Mary at POW Network sent it to us last night. In the article, he says his name is Timothy Oliver, but apparently, it’s really Gabryal Sansclair. I wouldn’t tell them my name either if I was going to tell tall tales like this;
A member of the unit commonly known as Delta Force, he said he hit the ground in Kandahar after a high-altitude jump with thousands of other specialized troops from different branches of service.
He recalls three days of intense “house-to-house urban warfare.”
“It was a lot of chaos and a lot of fear,” he said.
When the fighting ended and Marines arrived, he felt hopeful that a quick end to the war was possible. But he said commanders opted to fortify their position rather than advance, missing what he feels was a key opportunity to hobble the enemy early.
I’ve been in contact with the author of the story and she says that she’s sick over the fact that she allowed it to get to print. Of course, we’re working on getting his records, but in the interim, if anyone knows this ass monkey, we’d sure like to hear about his antics and what he really did in the military. Of course, it may be possible that he never served, like Leo Webb. Because that’s a pretty luxurious pony tail he’s got there, but it looks like he knows how to handle toy guns with a measure of expertise.
But mostly, I’m putting this post up so you guys don’t inundate me with mails about him and then think I’m ignoring you.

Article published by “veteran” telling of heroic endeavours in super secret ops, all taken at face value by journalist. Journalist later feels apologetic.
Business as usual.
The wanna-be’s and never were’s continue to multiply like bacteria.
July 2nd, 2012 at 9:20 am
He looks like a busted Kirk Hammett with a Airsoft.
July 2nd, 2012 at 9:21 am
Pretty much. “Thousands of Delta Force?” THAT ought to have been the big giveaway right there. That, and it’s getting harder to find that much heavy lift force to insert them nowadays.
July 2nd, 2012 at 9:25 am
And the phonies think their shitbaggery is harmless.
Bitches, please.
July 2nd, 2012 at 9:28 am
I served with this cat in Phuk Dat back in 68-69. Dude was straight up murder on wheels. Wore a necklace made from uncircumsized gook penises.
July 2nd, 2012 at 9:29 am
BTW…in case nobody noticed, that is an orange tip on that pistol.
Too bad. I was hoping he’d suck-start that bad boy. Maybe he’s Dave’s cousin.
July 2nd, 2012 at 9:29 am
Now you guys just stop it and leave poor Gabryal ALONE!
He is Delta Force. Among druids.
Fifteen years of experience…

Seriously, do they need to start teaching in media/journalism courses to check the status of ‘veterans’ before publishing their wild claims?
It is obvious that time and time again even the most outlandish of claims does not raise even one iota of suspicion among journalists in the media.
July 2nd, 2012 at 9:36 am
Uh, I served with that guy down at the Space Shuttle Door Gunner Instructor Course dude. That orange on the barrel is just to make you THINK that is an airsoft weapon. How much money do you think went into R&D to develop CLEAR STEEL???? Tired of you “military” folks dogging on us Secret Squirrels….you will RUE the day!

Little Timmy has issues.
He doesn’t even know who he is:
http://www.buzztown.com/business-review/15032/BusinessReview.html
July 2nd, 2012 at 10:12 am
He claims that a female pilot who provided close air support died soon after an action he was in sometime after December 2004. Icasualties lists 37 females killed in Afghanistan and, as near as I can tell, one of them might have been a pilot (she was a USAF officer assigned to the 41st Rescue Squadron-not exactly a unit that flies a lot of CAS-and killed in a helicopter accident), but the timeline doesn’t fit with his claims (she died in ’03). The story is a little light on the details, but what I could check from public sources doesn’t add up.
July 2nd, 2012 at 10:16 am
Didn’t think it was possible to get flashbacks from COD. Put the controller down kid, go outside, get some sun and fresh air. Maybe a haircut. And a job. A shower perhaps.
July 2nd, 2012 at 10:23 am
@17, that was what I looked up first, and emailed the author that tidbit as well.

Yo Timothy/Gabryal/Wat Du Fok – this one’s for you! (With apologies to David Avery and George Thorogood.)
Airsoft Slob
He was a dumbass from the day he left school,
Grew his hair long and broke all the rules
He’d sit and play Call of Duty all day,
With big ambitions of what he could say
His parents taught him what life was about,
But he grew up the type they warned him about
They said his friends were just damn Airsoft slobs,
And he should get a haircut and get a real job
Get a haircut and get a real job,
Clean up your act don’t be a damn Airsoft slob
Get it together like your big brother Bob,
Why don’t you get a haircut and get a real job
He even tried that 9 to 5 scene,
He told myself that it was all a bad dream
Discovered Airsoft and a good place to play,
And now he parties all night, he sleeps all day
He met this chick she was his number 1 fan,
She took him home to meet her mom and old man,
They took one look at him and said, “Oh my god”,
Get a haircut and get a real job
Get a real job, why don’t you get a real job
Get a real job, don’t be a damn Airsoft slob
July 2nd, 2012 at 10:40 am
OK time to debunk: Weed pipe on desk (medical mary jane); air filter (to clear the air of bullshit); ponytail (been growing since 1997); toy 9mm replica (most of my friends who served have alot of real guns); ear rings (2 too many); cane (for a young man – first sign of a life of free benefits); a trailor park (that was enough for me); and high-altitude jump with thousands of other specialized troops from different branches of service (how many survived).

Bohica, that should make it easy for the FOIA.
“My own personal story starts like this; I was wounded and medically discharged after spending 3 years, 3 months and 13 days in the US Military. On January the 5th of 2005 I was officially a civilian again…”
It looks like his dates of claimed service are 23 SEP 2001 until 5 JAN 2005. Strangely, 23 SEP 2001 was a Sunday, and I don’t seem to recall MEPS being open on the weekends.
July 2nd, 2012 at 11:27 am
Anyone e-mail the reporter yet? I went ahead and sent her an e-mail, will see what she says.
July 2nd, 2012 at 11:29 am
Yes, Ordsoldier (#38), we’ve been in contact with her all morning and she’s helping us trying to uncover his real ID, because, of course, his tale is fairly convoluted.
July 2nd, 2012 at 11:32 am
Bobo, his Facebook account says he enlisted on Sept 20th, 2001. There’s no accounting for poor math skills. Still, that’s a pretty quick turnaround time from Basic, AIT, Airborne, FS Q course and halo school to be able to make that jump into Afghanistan with the thousands of other spec ops guys. Must have been from all that marshal arts training he had before enlisting.
July 2nd, 2012 at 11:49 am
“No shit…there I was…the door gunner on the Space Shuttle…when we took an RPG round…that I caught with my bare hands…but the 2nd one hit the tail and killed the pilot….”
This guy is so fucked up even a 15 year old who wants to join the Army could figure out his story is full of shit.

Just did a search on the net for Lincoln’s whereabouts on the day this BT (bird turd) claims he was wounded and medevacked to her. He doesn’t have the gray matter to even do a bit of basic research before spinning his lies.
From http://www.uscarriers.net/cvn72history.htm:
“October 15, USS Abraham Lincoln departed homeport for a surge deployment to support Commander, U.S. 7th Fleet potential contingency operations and theater security cooperation initiatives. This is the first deployment of a Carrier Air Wing without the F-14 Tomcat and the S-3B Viking. This is also the first deployment of an SH-60B Seahawk squadron aboard a carrier; the helicopter is typically deployed on a surface combatants.
The Abraham Lincoln initially operated in southern Californian waters to enable aircraft from Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 2 to accomplish as much accelerated training as possible before they flew combat missions.
November 22, CVN 72 pulled into Naval Station Pearl Harbor for a brief port call. The ship also visited Hawaii from Nov. 4-5.
December 24, USS Abraham Lincoln anchored in Victoria Harbour for a four-day port visit to Hong Kong.”
No mention at all of Lincoln being anywhere near Afghanistan, much less conducting any operations, on the date he was allegedly wounded.

From the article —
“He’s tried working. In 2009, he said he was the night-shift manager at Wendy’s, but a violent confrontation with two employees triggered hallucinations that resulted in his being admitted for acute psychiatric care at the Crossroads Center near Mercy Regional Medical Center.”
I am pretty certain this fine specimen has never tried working….if wearing a paper hat and asking if folks want fries with their meal triggers a hallucination fueled violent episode, I would suspect it’s all the Druidic Fire Gazing or Rune Stone readings, rather than his inability to cope with his pretend military career, causing his inability to grasp what’s real.
This little turd will probably be declared mentally disabled and continue to suck the public tit until he dies…which won’t be soon enough…

Reply to my email:
As the reporter who propagated Oliver’s falsehoods, I would like to offer my sincerest apologies and deepest regrets to all the true service members out there who really did make the hard sacrifices. I wish I could say it was a cub mistake, but I’ve been doing this long enough to know better. I feel wretched that my intent was to show the public the true face of veterans but instead did the opposite. Thanks to all that took the time to expose this falsehood. I will be reporting these findings in a follow-up story to run in tomorrow’s newspaper. (Note: the story up on the website has an editor’s note stating that concerns have been raised about the accuracy of his account.)
Sincerely,
Katie Burford, city editor
Durango Herald
July 2nd, 2012 at 1:54 pm
I appreciate Katie Burford feeling bad about this, but considering she’s not a “cub reporter”, what actual verification did she conduct to determine that the fecal matter this clown was slinging was the truth? Did she bother to ask to see his DD214 or the citations for three alleged Purple Hearts he received? Did she even bother to Google “Delta Force” to find out how elite of a unit that is? (And probably unlikely to have been the unit to which a failed Wendy’s manager and pest control expert would be attached?)
Did the fact that this guy had his lower lip pierced and looked like he should be Dungeon Mastering at some Society For Creative Anachronism convention put even the slightest sliver of doubt in her mind that mayhap what he was saying wasn’t even close to the truth?
I’m sorry. She may have meant well, but that’s some slipshod journalism right there.
P.S. “I am hurling in my shit can over here!” – lolz.
July 2nd, 2012 at 1:55 pm

July 2nd, 2012 at 2:10 pm
Come on you guys are such haters….. he looks ok to me, especially with the plastic pop-gun. You know he took a bayonet to the lip for christ-sake!!!!!!!!!!
As a retired SF guy and MFF jumper I’d have PTSD too if I did a “a high-altitude jump with thousands of other specialized troops from different branches of service”
That’s got to be the largest (and most secret) HALO drop in history.
You Haters.

July 2nd, 2012 at 2:35 pm
Now, Oliver mostly stays home, sometimes listening to his unit’s theme song, “A Demon’s Fate” by the Dutch metal band Within Temptation, on YouTube
Aww heck yeah! I wish my units theme song was that awesome.
So for the more experienced guys, is it after you class up from space shuttle door gunner basic course that your unit gets a theme song or after?
July 2nd, 2012 at 2:36 pm
Sorry, that should have been “before … or after.”
July 2nd, 2012 at 2:37 pm
@62:
After. Always after.
July 2nd, 2012 at 2:41 pm
#60 That bayonet to the lip stuff seems pretty dangerous…good thing he learned how to clear a room after being stabbed in the face…his plastic surgeon did a great job fixing his lip…no scars, no stitches nice work doc!
July 2nd, 2012 at 2:42 pm
@56: That’s all well and good, but how about applying some critical thinking skills before hitting the enter button on the old Commodore 64 and sending this out into the ether? Or how about not having to rely upon a group of anonymous veterans to do the heavy lifting that you should have done before posting the article?
Again, she seems like a nice person who feels bad, but I also wonder about her original intentions regarding her desiring to show “the public the true face of veterans”.
Some pimply faced World of Warcraft punk reeking of cigarettes with a lip piercing moaning about the trouble he’s had readjusting to society because of all the horrible things he saw?
Isn’t that just such a cliché? What informational input has she sought to enlighten herself as to what real veterans are like, or has she been relying upon sensationalized news reporting and liberal preconceptions about war being so horrible that men simply crack under the strain?
It took me all of two seconds using a few basic searches to find evidence that this guy was a lying P.O.S. Could she have not done the same regarding something which even if one accepts it on face value is an utterly outrageous story?
July 2nd, 2012 at 2:53 pm
@66 I think the problem is twofold: 1) People always want to the assume the best in others and 2) It’s an interesting story.
Include the fact that a lot of people are ignorant about the military. For example, a shocking amount of people think submarines (actual U.S. Navy submarines) have windows in them so you can see the fish.
So this guy shows up with a compelling story, she doesn’t know that he is lying through his teeth and it gets published. I think that’s starting to change a bit as more and mo publicity is being given to people who are faking their stories, but the media has a long way to go.
July 2nd, 2012 at 3:08 pm

July 2nd, 2012 at 3:17 pm
IW @67, I think you have the right of it. Most normal Americans really don’t have a very strong grasp of the …mindset… I suppose you could call it, and the knowledge gained from serving. For example, even I tossed a flag when I read about Delta Force, not to mention the bayonet wound. She just doesn’t know enough for the warning bells to go off.

I have been following the Don Shipley videos on phony veteran’s/SEALS for some time now. In fact the more I read on this subject, the more disbelief comes up for me. I just can’t believe so many idiots out here lie so much about such a life as being phony SEALS, Rangers, veteran’s, etc. It pisses me off to say the least. This particular story though about Gabryal is why I’m posting my 1st comment. He is simply unfuc—g believable. I mean, he has a profile on the Associated Content for articles that he has made over the last few years which include on his phony arse PTSD he got from Trashghanistan. I really think this guy needs his head examined. Here’s a link to the Associated Content profile with his b.s. articles on the military.
http://contributor.yahoo.com/user/59892/gabryal.html
My brother & I both served in the US Army. We were both grunts and we both served in Iraq and he served also in Afghanistan. It was just a job, that’s how I think of it. It was nothing special, nothing glamorous, nothing to talk about much. My point is when folks make up b.s. like this, it just makes for more doubts on the next vet who may talk. It’s a cold day in hell when a@@ clowns like this punk make up b.s. stories and people freaking believe it. Thousand’s of SF’s guy’s jumping out of planes, are you freaking kidding me?!?
Anywho, I routinely read the articles on here & comments and some of them just crack me up. Have a good one guys.

I emailed this guy on Facebook and told him a few choice words. Sorry for posting several times, combine my post’s if need be.
July 5th, 2012 at 3:38 pm
The journalist offered to interview me for the same series of articles, but ended up blowing me off in favor of this guy. Which is a shame, because myself or any of the other vets she interviewed could have helped detect the bullshit stacked by that asshat.

July 20th, 2012 at 10:11 am
I do know this man, personally. I have known him before he went in, and I married him several years after he got out. No, we don’t have a lot of money. We have a child who is growing, a pathetic stipend of a check from his service, very little medical benefits (and we only seek them for him). He is a licensed medical marijuana user and as an RN I have signed up with my state to be his licensed caregiver. THIS MAN IS BLIND and had his femur broken in 3 places.
Honestly as I’m writing this I’m shaking because I’m so enraged by the total indifference of people. Place the blame elsewhere please. This man is suffering from bouts of PTSD that would make you weep to see. Believe me or don’t, I don’t really care.
On a journalistic standpoint, from which I can speak with 2 degrees (and yes all you crazy fanatics – go ahead and look me up) that writes consistently for Yahoo!, Dell, Associated Press, and was both a feature journalist and darkroom editor for the Denver Post. Sorry Miss Journalist Lady — the Durango Herald doesn’t compete.
For the record:
1. The journalist who reported this story were given 3 specific names to contact for information to be released – what was possible and not a ‘threat to our nation’. I sat here in this trailer some of you have pointed so hard at and waited to leave until it was perfectly clear to both the journalist and the photographer, a neighbor and a friend who actually ASKED Mr. Oliver to be interviewed for the story because he knows Oliver’s story, were aware that there was a SLIM chance of verifying who – specifically – he worked for. I know. And that’s a ‘threat to national security’. However, the journalist never called a single source. Bad journalist, she knows the rules.
2. During his service, Mr. Oliver’s injuries were so severe that it has taken nearly 4 years (our daughter remembers being 9 when it happened) to help him speak at all about anything since his last major – and, thank you, medically documented (which again the journalist didn’t bother looking into though she was urged to and given permission to do) – PTSD attack that left him unable to even leave the front door. He no longer needs his cane. Look at it in the picture all you want – it was set there as a prop. You guys know how those work, right? Especially the dummy who thought his gun was a replica. I’ve watched him nail a 22 oz. Red Bull can at more than 30 feet with that ‘replica’ and if it is one I totally want my money back.
3. Mr. Oliver was approached about the article by more than one person because in this small town we live in everyone knows everything about everyone else. He expressed to each person that 1) they would have extreme trouble ‘proving’ undercover ops and that 2) the journalist herself might not want to go with his story because of the sensationalism it might receive. Which, unfortunately due to the nature of this man’s work and the lack of journalistic integrity that the journalist displayed, is exactly what happened.
So, officially, as Mr. Oliver’s caretaker and spouse, I request that no more posts be left on his Facebook. They will start being submitted as harassment. If this issue continues, I will happily use my media law degree to sue for defamation of character, harassment, and slander each the reporter and those people who have linked to this article and posted hatefully on his page. This is a legal statement.
Finally, to the ‘man’ who prompted me to write this … thank you for writing it so early in the morning that I could delete the post, come here, and block you before he could see anything.
REMEMBER — NO ONE KNOWS WHAT ANOTHER PERSON IS GOING THROUGH AND BEFORE YOU POST HATE REMEMBER THAT IT CAN BE DONE TO YOU AND IT CAN RUIN YOUR LIFE, EMOTIONALLY MENTALLY PHYSICALLY AND REALISTICALLY. WHETHER YOU BELIEVE THIS MAN IS A LIAR OR NOT, YOU HAVE FORUMS LIKE THIS FOR FREE SPEECH. PRACTICE THAT RIGHT. DO NOT HARASS THIS MAN AGAIN.
July 20th, 2012 at 10:14 am
Oh and last word on the matter.
If everyone who wishes to practice their right to free speech would like to continue doing so, please get it right: Timothy Oliver is the patriot’s name. Gabryal Sansclair is a nom de plume.
July 20th, 2012 at 10:22 am
Bullshit. That is all.
July 20th, 2012 at 10:26 am
Woah guys, an official legal statement AND a media law degree. Looks like we got a badass over here.
July 20th, 2012 at 10:33 am
I just happen to come back over here but STFU Phebe whoever the hell you are and don’t sit there and defend a liar and obviously sick person who pretends to be something he is NOT and never will be. GTFO out of here with that crap.
July 20th, 2012 at 10:36 am
Yes, Mudwhistle
Also, anyone who decides to invade -my- privacy by looking up private pictures that are marked private anyway are breaking the law. I am not a public figure, I was not mentioned in the article, and by using anything of -mine- you are breaking the law. Since so many of you like citing it, look it up.
To those of you who actually gave this man a chance, each of whom I wanted to list but gave up trying to go through the disgusting spew of hate over a subject that lays directly on the shoulders of a reporter who didn’t bother checking her sources until AFTER sending the story to print and writing an article ‘apologizing’ for what amounts to a lack of journalistic integrity (and by the by Miss Katie, your phone call was recorded – thank you!).
July 20th, 2012 at 10:41 am
Phebe, why when the reporter asked for his DD214 he refused to show it to her? There are no classified “undercover” DD214s.
July 20th, 2012 at 10:43 am
Wait, so you’re saying this guy IS full of shit? Or it’s not his fault he’s a lying, posing sack of shit? Which is it?
July 20th, 2012 at 10:59 am
Just friended this poser on facebook to post this on his wall link on his wall. (he was claiming no less than 3 purple hearts on there). The post was for at least 8 hours and now he has taken down his page. One less jerkoff we have to worry about.
July 20th, 2012 at 10:59 am
Shall we now start the countdown to when Ms. Durand comes back and says she was lied to as well?
Ms. Durand, with all due respect, this man you married is making claims that are not even remotely plausible. You knew him BEFORE he went in, and you married him years after he (theoretically) left the service. What was he doing in the years between? Are these medical benefits of which you speak through the VA? Where are the documents supporting his claims? Who are these 3 people who can verify his bullshit?
Now, I will admit that I find your writing claims a bit, shall we say, questionable considering you use terminology such as “I have known him before he went in”, but I’ll go ahead and give you the benefit of the doubt since my head’s already near-exploded and I, unlike the man in the photo, do not enjoy messes. So, if you could just elucidate the aforementioned, that would be super.
July 20th, 2012 at 11:00 am
My saying that I know the Easter Bunny personally really doesn’t prove much either.
July 20th, 2012 at 11:01 am
And yes, it was me who posted on his facebook page
July 20th, 2012 at 11:10 am
For the record, Phebe knows him cause she’s married to him. If he’s blind (as you say) I’d love to see him shoot a redbull can from 30 ft away (as you claim). Also if he’s blind, how on earth would he “see” the facebook post you so rapidly took down. As a vet with PTSD, I take personal offense to his “claims” of black ops combat in Afghanistan and the resulting falsehoods he’s claiming from it. No DD214 is classified, all he need do to prove his story is present it, but he won’t or can’t. Don’t worry though, I have requested his records via FOIA, in order to clear up this issue once and for all. Should my opinion as he lack of combat experiance be validated, you can bet my next call will be to the VA center in Denver to report fraud. Have a nice day.
July 20th, 2012 at 11:13 am
How did I miss Phebe’s rant? I’ve never met a RN/attorney who lived in a trailer, but I have a narrow life experience. Even the one man office general practitioner lawyers I know are living in decent apartments and driving BMWs.
Just one question: did studmuffin take the orange cover off the plastic pistol before he went acing Red Bull cans?
July 20th, 2012 at 11:16 am
According to her facebook she works as a freelance artist. I should contact the State of Colorado and ensure she has a nursing licence. Afterall, I believe practicing nursing without a license is still a crime.

Also, her law degree is from Cortez High School. So, I think I will take my chances.
July 20th, 2012 at 11:39 am
Those are high speed glasses only given to blind Delta operators to make them see again. I’m surprised he broke OPSEC and allowed his pic in them to be posted…he could get in big trouble for that.
July 20th, 2012 at 11:40 am
Oh, and did anyone else notice the (meth) pipe on his desk in pic in the Durango article?
July 20th, 2012 at 11:42 am
She has a BA from the Art Institute in Pittsburgh. And I googled her and “Denver Post” and “Associated Press” but got nothing. Lots of self published books on crafts on yahoo! but nothing with the other two. I guess her articles are “Classified Black Ops” like her husband. Still gotta give her props for standing up for her man.

Also want to point out that one does not have “bouts of PTSD” it not like herpes. It doesn’t just flare up.

July 20th, 2012 at 11:55 am
Phebe must have been bored this morning…this thread died a couple of weeks ago…maybe instead of wasting time on Facebook folks ought to keep their mouths shut and work on their “truth” issues….
Is she suggesting that his PTSD makes him a liar about what actually happened? I don’t know about his PTSD but a lot this article makes me weep…
For someone with a media law degree and an RN she sure is having a hard time articulating what’s going on…so my understanding is that the reporter failed to contact 3 secret squirrel confirmation types so that makes lying about your service the reporter’s fault….
I doubt this fellow could get a positive SSBI to get the clearance he needed to be so secret nobody’s ever heard of what he’s done…even James Bond had an ID…..
July 20th, 2012 at 11:58 am
http://www.ev1.keen.com/psychic-readings/life-questions/gabryal/7287687 I wonder if this is the same Gabryal Sansclair. If so he might have been in that “stares at goats” spec ops unit they made that documentary on. I think george clooney starred in it.

July 20th, 2012 at 12:12 pm
Phebe- Are you claiming the story is true as written, just not verifiable due to national security issues?
BTW, what is the job description of ‘darkroom editor’?
July 20th, 2012 at 12:14 pm
SGT Spalding, that would be the 1st Earth BN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Earth_Battalion). One of the perks of my odd military education is actually getting to meet and talk to LTC(R)Channon. During our discussion, he actually had some really good ideas regarding training techniques, then went off on a UFO and alien tangent and never came back to reality.

@110
That made me laugh out loud… I didn’t know they handed out “media law” degrees. I must not be in the same league as this lady with my boring, old JD. But she uses big words, so she must be legit, right? From my experience, I call bullcrap on her threats, her story, and his story. I do look forward to her explain away things once the DD-214 becomes available (or lack thereof).
Also, is she a print journalist of a photographer based on the “darkroom editor” claim? None of this makes sense.

JAGC–I also like how she threatens to sue us over pictures she claims are “marked private”. Funny, unless your Photobucket account is password-protected or copyrighted, pretty much any picture of you on the ‘Net is wide open and like it or not, might well be used in other applications.
July 20th, 2012 at 12:53 pm
NHSparky… You better be careful questioning the media law program at Cortez High School. She is threatening to use her vast knowledge of media law to sue you for “slander.” Of course, my simple experience tells me that the legally-operative word she is looking for is “libel,” but that word isn’t as big so we should just let it go… right?

@125 The pictures shes talking about as “private” are the ones I linked in my post on Gabryal’s face book which show him to be the same person as Timmy Oliver. They are found in her photo albums on facebook. Again its not a private page, the pictures are available to public access. She even calls Gabryal “Tim” in a couple.

Good thing she doesn’t feel like slaving for a steady income. Maybe her hubby’s government assistance checks for being too crazy to work are helping them out enough to cover the rent on their trailer lot.

Is the response from Phebe Durand even legimate?
He’s already attempted to fake one identity; why would we assume he isn’t playing the part of Ms. Durand as well?
I’d be hard pressed to believe Oliver is persuasive enough to get anyone to corroborate a story like that.

Assblaster McTaintstain here needs a bonafide beatdown. I’m gonna have to dog on the airsoft on this one here. A clear Wal-Mart special is a terrible prop. Also, most folks I know that have been shot at, even those that never got closer to the fighting than the fence at Bagram or Kandahar, don’t like to get shot at ever again. (I’m assuming it’s a fence, and not a wall, feel free to correct me, I’ve not been deployed yet.) Also thousands of spec ops deployed at once, in the same AO? I don’t know much, but I think I can say it’s not fucking likely. I’ve also never met a vet that would actually braid his hair, much less sport the little dick tickler facial hair. My advice for this gigantic walking cluster fuck, is to get one of your elf-lord-mage-fag friends to remove you from the gene pool, with one of his dorky movie replica swords. Stop threatening the future of the American people with your faulty man seed.

Her “retraction” article is great in its highlighting of her lack of journalistic prowess: “Oliver, when reached by phone, said he could not provide any documentation to support his account or show that he had served in the military.”
