In reply to the discussion: "Special Forces Soldier killed in Syria" likely not dead, may have faked death (Occupy San Diego) [View all]tammywammy
(26,582 posts)24. Who did you confirm the death with?
Don't say 'his command', what's their name.
If you cannot get a basic fact on if someone's dead, I'm going to take the rest of your article with a grain of salt. You can divert attention away, but the basis of 'we're in Syria!!!' you're spreading was based off this man's Facebook post and it's not even confirmed he was in the Army.

I followed that thread and the irrational arguments, and decided to stay out of it.

I have a pretty good bullshit filter, and all the alarms went off reading that mess.

I'm just glad that some in OWS San Diego had a memorial for him even though he is alive.

All it would have taken is getting an actual active-duty vet to talk to Polk.

Is there verification that Jamond Polk and Jay Polk are the same individual?

yes, but has the super-dooper classified mission to Syria been self-deleted? n/t
