Online groups sleuthing to call out phony military careers

"It takes a mere glance for Tim Howle to see through the nonsense.

A military uniform adorned with every award a service member can earn is a dead giveaway. He hopes he's wrong, but sometimes an impersonator is blatantly lying and receiving financial benefits based on those lies.

That's where Howle draws the line.

"It's just about righting wrong," Howle said. "We hold certain values of honesty and integrity as a basis for our being. If nobody else is going to stand up to these guys, we feel we have to do it."......"

A good story about people doing good work.

A tip of the Beret to them.

Good for them.

Professionalsoldiers.com does not go after the liars of FaceBook, or we'd never sleep.

Anyone that believes anything written on facebook needs therapy.....;)
