Your derogatory use of 18 months of service, a medical discharge and stateside service as something somehow not be or feel proud about is a bad take.
Yes, you can dick measure your service but not everyone can be a multiple combat tour Special operator without the fellow service men and women back home doing what they do.
Maybe focus on the wrongful use of service as a shield of criticism instead of trying to put a qualifier as to what a low, unworthy level or whatever you’re trying to say this kind of level of service might be.
My criticism is not about Derek calling himself a veteran. It is about his entire persona being horseshit, and him using his veteran status to attack other veterans and convince gullible patriots that the things he says are true (so that they will buy his merch and support him financially).
If you check him out you'll see what I mean. Plenty of other veterans are calling him out for the things I'm talking about.
Huge grifter photoshops many if not most pics (with CIC with pocket knife and women missing a foot ) cmon Derek oh how’s Charlie Ward
Folks he’s grifted his way on to a the scene many have spoken out —> no comments allowed besides on his twatter - blocked off all sm calling fraud ass out
One 19 yr active enlist did a bunch of YouTube on him need to locate but here’s Charlie …nuff said
Come on scene bam show docs and w all can locate read for ourselves ..brag has clearance (??) while not completing one full enlistment (??) seriously anyone have his CO or locale with service ? Can’t find it …they all do same come out of nowhere and have numbers pumped by above tier grifters like Jaco and Ward - sick of them
My nephew joined the Navy after 9/11 and was medically discharged from boot camp after just a couple weeks due to being short one kidney from standard issue, discovered after joining. He's considered a veteran and it has nothing to do with time served. His intent was 100% to serve his country. He had to take swimming classes prior to joining since he had never swam before. He just wanted to serve. Intent > time in.
The point of this post is not to diminish any veteran's service. It is a specific criticism of the way Derek Johnson uses his veteran status to attack other veterans and deceive patriots on social media.
Rep Paulina does not use her veteran status as validation for her arguments or as a shield against criticism. Derek constantly does both of those things. Nearly every one of his social media posts includes bragging about being a veteran.
In his recent posts he has been attacking other veterans (some who served for much longer) that disagree with him, going so far as to question their patriotism.
I only served two years. That was an enlistment option during the Vietnam era. I never went into theater althought that was still a possibility when I enlisted.
All that said, I viewed Johnson as a red neck idiot from the first video he ever posted, and that impression has not changed.
Some people just have the gall to try to put on like they are in the know when they don't know shit. They are just parroting what they have read elsewhere. If you don't have an original thought in your head, maybe it would be best to just shut the fuck up and listen moar.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna served 18 mo too.
For that they both earn respect.
Big difference.
Rep Paulina does not use her veteran status as validation for her arguments or as a shield against criticism. Derek constantly does both of those things. Nearly every one of his social media posts includes bragging about being a veteran.

It doesn’t matter how long you serve in the military. If you were in listed, and you were part of it. Yes, that makes you a veteran.
I served 4 yrs honorable active duty and 2 tours overseas.
Thank you for your service to our country, and God bless!

That's what my husband did too, in 1999. He had to sign up for IRR, which he did.
for profit? please explain
Yes, I'm curious too.
Like many 'influencers' Derek takes donations from his followers and sells merch.
He conned them into buying him a membership at Mar-a-Lago. That's how he got the photos with Trump.
Excellent post OP!
Call out PAYtriot grifters consistently. New anons know not what damage they are capable of sowing within the greater truth/research movement.
