The Lies of Tim Kennedy

[BruteDion]

Dont know who that guy is but his one arm DB row form is absolute dog shit.

[PrideWasBetter]

Why these famous Special Operators can’t stop LYING about FAKE war stories.

This dude said he’s having a panel of guys from rangers and others come in to expose specifics from Tim’s bullshit this weekend

He also called out Rob O’Neil, Chris Kyle, Jocko and Marcus Lutrell

Ah shit. Maybe I saw an old video and you showed the one I illuded to

[MasterOfMartialArts]

This is what these guys do? Were they in the military or something? They need to get a life.

[syntaxless]

I worked with a dude that was pretty chill. He would always talk about how the only thing he did for 20+ years was drive a forklift as a supply guy. But it turned out he was in Italy the majority of the time and spoke Italian (among other languages) and once he got out he got a job doing liaison shit for Italian companies doing American trade shows and had a hot Italian wife and shit.

I know that’s not like, an amazing ending or anything but it always caught me off guard this goofy motherfucker with no front teeth was some international playboy speaking love languages and living in a million+ dollar house 10 years ago.

I don’t know shit about the military but I watched the whole video in the OP the other day and it seems pretty damning to me. TK absolutely comes across as a BS artist to me

I love the humility.

Aviano has got to be one of the best deployments. 1 hr to Venice.

It’s fun watching the evolution of celebrity soldiers. The market became too crowded for everyone to get the attention they crave by telling war stories so now they’re turning on each other and starting drama like the old hens on The View.

Get off social media and get a real job.

Guys with purple hearts don’t take kindly to someone else lying about having a purple heart.

I’d imagine especially the ones who got wounded and DIDN’T get a purple heart.

Watching the end of the Valhalla video, Tim apparently went to Ukraine (the safe part), dug a hole, poured dirt on himself and then filmed himself “in the trenches of Ukraine”.

I’m sure opinions vary between men. My father was a 20 year Army vet who was stationed in Korea, Greece twice, and Panama. He also did a tour of Vietnam. He refused to talk much about any of it, and he hated all the celebrity soldiers. He always said it was a job, you did your job, and you shut up about it.

Doesn’t the term “stolen valor” refer to people who claim to have served in the military, but never did?

Exaggerated claims such as achieving higher rank than you actually had, or saying you killed way more people than you did, had more deployments than you did, those are the forms of stolen valor combat vets actually care about in my experience.

Hence why waltz was getting called for stolen valor by vets even though he had served in the military

Yeah that’s understandable. I just really dislike people who make a living off criticizing others who have accomplished a lot.

@MasterOfMartialArts

I think lying and saying you were in the military is seriously reprehensible and should be the only time “stolen valor” is used. But I understand why other things would fall into that category.

I don’t know, I’m sure it varies person to person but I can say in my experience, the guys who were never in the military or never saw combat are the ones who get mad about mentally ill people wearing uniforms they bought on the Internet pretending to have been in the military

Guys who held pieces of their friends in the hands and saw a lot of horrible things get more upset at people who were in exaggerating how much combat they saw. Especially when it’s exaggerated claims of bravery.

Guys with purple hearts don’t take kindly to someone else lying about having a purple heart.

Yeah, my buddy says the same thing. He says the ones who never saw combat are the ones who get angry. I’m not sure how much combat he saw, but he was deployed twice IIRC. At the same time I’m not gonna judge people who are in the service and criticizing others for exaggerating, especially considering I never served. I have a lot of respect for service men and women. But I think people who never served should pretty much shut up about it.

My dad was injured during Nam but it was in San Diego fighting a fire. It was after his injury free deployment driving marines upriver. An unspent .50 caliber shell exploded in the fire and the primer hit him right under the larynx and lodged a couple millimeters from his jugular. I was that far away from being unborned. However, he does have his uncle’s Purple Heart, who was in the magazine that blew off half the USS New Orleans. When my dad got back home to Texas my grandad (back broken leaving the Philippenes and returned to retake them), gave him the medal to care for. It’s been in his converted cigar cabinet / display case my entire life. He always makes it a point tell anybody who might not know that it wasn’t his and who it belongs to. Needless to say his opinion on people embellishing anything isn’t very high. Hell he’s saucy about the “beer tab Purple Hearts” everybody else got. “Just because it wasn’t our bullets that hit them” lol.

My dad has a lot of interesting takes on this is why I think about it a lot

He did 20 years, he enlisted while Vietnam was still hot at 19 but by the time he finished basic it was over. He has something probably similar to survivors guilt because he got in too late for Vietnam but has a lot of friends who fought there. And he was too old for Desert Storm but had friends/people he trained who were there.

His dad was a WW2 vet and his uncle was also a WW2 vet (Uncle Jack had a silver star). He has some resentment at the universe that he knew people he didn’t help in Vietnam and he hates when people say “thank you for your service” type stuff because he feels like he didn’t really do anything, like an imposter syndrome of being a soldier because he didn’t get to see combat when so many people he knows did.

I get what he’s saying but damn that’s fucked up for him to be thinking that way. I bet a lot of others think that way about themselves too. Obviously people who fought in big wars will be remembered more but anyone who served gets my respect. 20 years is a LOT of time to sacrifice for your country. Respect to your dad.

I just talked to my buddy who is a retired GB. He isnt on social media at all. Ge said his phone has been blowing up all week about this lol.

[PrideWasBetter]

Here’s Tim doubling down

Setting the Record Straight

[TimDuncan]

I havent kept track. Are his lies over the top or is he just embeleshing like most OGers do about their cock size, wife beauty and their wealth?

[TimDuncan]

On second thought if he is telling OG lies he is a lying liar

[oranos]

He was probably being used as a recruitment tool just like that Navy guy.
