Special Forces phony Richard McClanahan

The Army Times, 30 July 2007, has an article on Richard McClanahan and the new war on fakers.

He did earn 1 ARCOM, 2 AAMs, GCM, National Defense, ASR and a few more -

But decided he looked better with 1 MOH, 3 Silver Stars, 1 LOM, 3 Purple Hearts, 1 MSM, an additional ARCOM, Combat Action Ribbon and a few other odds and ends -

And then there is the Special Forces Tab and, I think the Times messed up, they listed a Navy FreeFall badge but it looks like HALO wings. The Cover photo also appears to have him with first class diver badge and something under his CMB - SEAL badge????

Man, this guy rolls it all into one chest.

Edited to add: His ex runs a blog with pictures of him in uniform
