SOG PHONIES

EDWARDS, MARTIN BENNET of Memphis, TN

There us no listing of this individual in the Who's Who From MACVSOG! In my judgment, this guy is full of BS-RLNOE

Over the course of his past 3 years in the Tennessee State Defense Force, he has systematically claimed more and more prior veteran status to the point that he is now wearing military decorations on his uniform including a Bronze Star with combat V and a Purple Heart with cluster.  He  insists that he was in MACV-SOG and he even carries around a  DD-214 where the "only" unit he was ever assigned to was MACV-SOG.  The DD-214 is a very bad, copied multiple times version.

Edwards claims when he "landed in Vietnam, he had to cut off his skivvies so that the communists wouldn't be able to identify him as an American".  Additionally, in order to have earned Master Jump Wings, he would have to have participated in the 35 parachute jumps.  Something almost impossible to do since his claim of service in the US Army is from 71 to 73 with 2 years stateside and 1 year in Nam. 

Edwards is wearing a CIB, Master Jump Wings, and ribbons including: Legion of Merit, Bronze Star with V, Purple Heart with cluster, Air Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Army Good Conduct Medal and the two Vietnam Medals (yet he can produce no certificates of award for any of these medals).

Employed by the Shelby County School System,  Memphis TN,  as a General Foreman in their operations division.  Reportedly has resigned from the Tennessee State Guard  since the investigation was opened. St. Louis could locate NO MILITARY RECORDS (with TWO filed requests) using all necessary identifiers.

Here's a DD214 this asshole is passing around, click on the form and it will enlarge:

Note, his MOS is listed as 18B40-During the 60/70's, it would have been 11B4S not 18B. I retired in December 1980 and at that time SF did not have a branch and the MOS was still 11B4S for a Special Forces Qualified Light Weapon Specialist, so we know this is a phony document from this one error. His DD 214 reflects he was a Senior Parachutist not a Jumpmaster.

 Note further, he was discharged at Fort Bragg, NC, but he was assigned to MACV, RVN....he go from E1 to E6 in 2 years and 1 month? Never, again never happened. He is shown to have attended SF training from Nov 69-Jan 70, if that's the case he flunked out of Phase 1 training. His 214 does not show he completed SF training for a weapons specialist, if so, he would have been in training for about a year to complete Phase 1, SF Specialty MOS training, and Phase 2 training.

Also his 214  shows him being assigned to MACV Republic of Vietnam (RVN) when he's in Fort Bragg being discharged. This shit head would have been reassigned to a CONUS command before discharge and that unit would have been reflected and never MACV RVN unless he was discharged in Vietnam!

I won't even comment on his claims to his awards as they are an insult to all of us. This MF should be hoisted up by his balls for a day or two just to know what it feels like to be a man.
