| Dennis (Denny) Howard Chevalier implies that the same thing happened to him. The reality? That Marine's situation, and Dennis's situation, are different. Denny got called out for his phony veteran claims. |
Dennis Howard Chevalier and "This Ain't Hell" engaged in debate for months with regards to Denny's stolen valor claims. The "This Ain't Hell" community thoroughly explained to him that his military service claims do not reflect reality with regards to military service.
On Facebook, Denny Chevalier shares a post from the Washington Post. In this article, someone erroneously called out a Marine veteran for stolen valor.
It turned out that this Marine veteran was wearing formerly issued uniform items. He even advanced a good point: who would want to pretend to be a Lance Corporal with no combat experience?
On his commentary, Dennis Howard Chevalier laments that "they" mess this up all the time. Also, with regards to this "messing up," he should know. He's implying that he was falsely accused of stolen valor.
The reality?
It's a fact that Dennis (Denny) Howard Chevalier did the following:
* Claimed to be retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel (LTC)
* Claimed to have flown U.S. Air Force C-130s
* Claimed to have flown U.S. Air Force C-130 compass call missions during the Gulf War
* Claimed to have received cancer as a result of his "Gulf War" experiences
* Claimed to be a member of a Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) veteran for the Wilmar Police Department
Those claims have thoroughly been proven wrong. Even on his own blog, Denny Chevalier admitted to only doing 20 days in the Texas National Guard. Those 20 days were spent waiting to be discharged for fraudulent enlistment.
He did not even ship out to Basic Combat Training.
When confronted with these facts, Dennis Howard Chevalier said that he never made those claims. He blamed a hacker for going on the Internet and doing that for him.
On his blog, he tried to make it look like we were accusing him of making false claims. Among these "false" claims? That he claimed to be a retired Civil Air Patrol (CAP) LTC, a former member of the police, and a member of the Texas State Guard.
We repeatedly pointed out to him that we understood that he was a retired CAP LTC, a former police number, and, at the time, serving in the Texas State guard. Those facts stood out, we did not challenge them.
We called Dennis Howard Chevalier out on his claiming to be a Gulf War veteran that flew C-130 compass call missions. We called him out on his claims to be a retired U.S. Air Force LTC. We called him out on his claims of being a SWAT veteran.
He denied making the military veteran claims, blaming a hacker of doing it instead. He continues to claim that he was indeed a SWAT team veteran. The problem with that claim? The department, who he claimed to be a SWAT member for, is too small to have a SWAT team. It did not have a SWAT team during the time Dennis Howard Chevalier worked there.
A member of the "This Ain't Hell" posting community verified that with the Wilmer Police Department Chief.
A former spouse jumped onto "This Ain't Hell" and informed us of her experiences with Denny Chevalier. She stated that she heard him make his phony military claims to his students.
