You ain't got a hair on your arse if you don't!  Have they even been online lately?

You just called me out on a Faker Bust?  Oh, man.

[a2capt]

Oh come on. Just cut to the chase. Sick Kenny on 'em.

Oh, it's ON!

A lot of people have basically said "Hell yeah!  Throw them to the wolves."

But, think about it.  What if this was a person who was well known, in a key position in your group, wing, or region?  Would you really have the guts to "out" them?  Embarass them in front of their friends?  Their supporters?  Their followers?

One thing that never changes, much like convicted sex offenders, is that with fakers, everyone is ALWAYS surprised.  "I never thought he was a faker...blows me away!"

You'd be surprised!

Yes.

Someone who is inclined to lie about something like this, which is both trivial and important at the same time, is very likely to
fudge other things when he deems it necessary.  That doesn't mean a public lynching, but in a private situation, absolutley.

When the story seems to add up to that, people get angry. Of course, if he is legit, he can always prove it and get an apology.

What if this "HE" is an "SHE, you never know!

This is part of the reason I'm holding off a bit.   It is very, very difficult to "prove a negative," and repeated FOIA requests have come back as "no record found". Does that mean our request is malformed, or there really is "no records" for this guy?

As much as I like busting fakers, I dislike being wrong and accusing someone of something they're not doing due to bad info.  Which is why I'm trying to get additional info.

That's the best stance.

Another tactic I have used is revalidating everyone in the unit as a whole "We've seen some issues in CAP, and need to make sure everyone
can substamtiate everything they are wearing, CAP or otherwise. Please bring in those documents for review by X date."

Well, the bird is in the air. My deputy and I turned keys.  Now we sit back in our snuggies and slippers and wait for the fireworks.
