More on the fake war hero Flygare: He's scrubbed his bio; now only ONE Tour in Vietnam.

As readers now, I got a real bug up my butt about stolen valor/fake hero types.  And this guy, Roger Flygare, has made my list.... A democrat running in Federal Way in the 30th District appears to be one of those.

Roger Flygare is a fake. 

On his campaign bio, he claimed that, as a draftee, he did TWO tours in Vietnam, and as a Clerk, he earned a Purple Heart.

The "before" extract where Flygare falsely claimed TWO tours in Vietnam.

That was kind of weird, given that the term for a draftee was 24 months, and 6 of those are going to be spent in training, 6 more were done in Europe... and in addition to that, he did two tours (which were 12 months each) in Vietnam?

Just didn't add up.

Well, we know the first claim was a lie because the copy of his Form 20, a military record summary, made it clear that he had served a single tour in Vietnam.

And actual photocopy of Flygare's Form20

Basic training ------------------------------------------------------4 Mar 69
Advanced individual training (Helicopter Repair Training) - 20 May 69
Assigned to Europe---------------------------------------------- 11 Sep 69
Assigned to Vietnam as a clerk-typist-------------------------- 19 Mar 70
Assigned to Ft Lewis as a personnel management specialist- 16 Apr 71
Separated and Refraded to the Army Reserve ---------------- 17 Sep 71

Well, he's hearing it, because NOW he's scrubbed his bio:

The "after" extract where Flygare scrubbed the "two tours" lie.



Notice the absence of the phrase "where he served two tours of duty in Vietnam?"

Wonder where THAT went.

Notice he's STILL including his likely bogus Purple Heart.

I had a comment today on the earlier article here from a woman named Kathy Bates. 

Good job and yes, I will keep it "Civil". Flygare ran for a Council Position a year ago and lost. Many Veterans, scolded him for wearing that fake medal everywhere. Farmers market, fairs, City Hall meetings. The irony in all of this is that he knew not to display it via print media ads.

He was also caught lying to the King county Dems. questionnaire. Technically he was never fined, but did receive a warning letter from the PDC for another rule violation.

Look up Army Code 30.2 It specifically tells a retired or non retired Army personnel when, where, how a medal should be displayed. It also state that other than the 2 obvious Holiday's. The event must be "military" in nature.

The above concerns have been raised to the Chair of the 30th Democrat, another Vietnam Veteran, who put his medals/uniform away after his mandatory tour.

His number is public. Terry Thompson, TR Strategies- Numbers are public if Roger Flygare refuses to comment.

Keep at it. It is an honor to serve our Country, but, we must represent our selves in an honorable manner. While I can appreciate his service to our country, he is running for a position that will impact State Wide Policy, there fore, his own literature which states: "Integrity"? His mailer stated: " A decorated war hero returns home, now he is ready to fight for you in Olympia.". So, if Roger Flygare is who he is, than I shall salute him. If he has nothing to hide than surely a quick phone call would squash any concerns. Keep at it!

Flygare has made a terrible error.  He needs to get out in front of this and withdraw.

And when the fake warrior type sites like Stolen Valor and This Ain't Hell get done with him, he won't be able to get elected dog-catcher.
