Former Marine Standing Guard At Elementary School Lied About Service Record

HUGHSON (CBS13) – The feel-good story of a former U.S. Marine standing guard outside a local elementary school doesn’t feel so good the day after.

It turns out Craig Pusley isn’t in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, he didn’t serve overseas as he told CBS13 on Wednesday and he was discharged after less than a year with the second-lowest ranking in the Marines, private first class (E-2).

Pusley, who stood guard in uniform but unarmed outside Hughson Elementary School on Wednesday, was stationed at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego from July 2007 until April 2008, according to the Marines’ public affairs office. He was never deployed.

Pusley said Wednesday he was a sergeant in the Reserve after being on active duty in Afghanistan.

I hope that this story doesn't turn for the worst. Like this guy gets piss off and takes it out of others.

It's hard to find a rwnj who tells the complete truth. They blow up their personas to feed their pitiful egos and then call it "patriotism".
