Nope not buying this just yet
Soldier and girlfriend savagely beaten in Philadelphia after parade

Ok. After reading the story, I say it's pure horse hocky. He was "savagely beaten" in the face, yet has no cuts, bruises or swelling?? He's being deployed to "the Middle East?" Why no specific country? That's not classified info. I've been out of the Army for a while, but shouldn't he have a battalion crest on his beret (in the center of the blue patch)? There were no witnesses of 3 white people getting jumped?
This has all the dog whistles to pull Alt-Righters aka White Nationalists out of the woodwork with their nonsense. I bet it'll turn out this guy is a stolen valor fraud.

something seems off here. No description of the attackers? Streets are littered with people for that parade. No witnesses? Nothing?
Not saying that you aren't right, but the picture looks something like family day after Basic/AIT. That would be why he doesn't have anything there. We also haven't worn those in quite some time, so it's an older picture.
As for the Middle East part, current deployments are typically under "Operation Spartan Shield", which is technically Kuwait, and then you are usually farmed out to other countries from there, with Iraq being the primary. "Operation Inherent Resolve" is the current operation in Iraq, and is limited on soldiers/etc due to politics. Long story short, he may have had no clue where he was going.

Double post. Is there still no way to edit from phone?
yes, click bottom left of your post (inside the black box where your text is) and a box should pop up.
Thanks man. Invisible in dark mode unless you know it's there
