Ward F. McGorder Jr , US Army, 5th Special Forces Group, LRRP, Vietnam Veteran, POSer, Blog of Shame
207/24/2014 by militaryphonies
Really appreciate any help you can give here. This guy has been a good friend of mine for many years and I “never” gave it a thought to doubt him until recently. I should have known better because I realize that some people can “talk the talk” simply by gathering intel by reading, listening, television and hanging around others.
In any case my friend here claims he has been a 5th Special Forces LRRP and even did recon missions in Laos & Cambodia. In conversations with me he always made it known he was in Nam 68-69 and yet today another friend informed me that he was always told 71-72. The thing is … is that we recently decided to look into this a bit and discovered he was supposedly born in 1954 and that he was still in high school (a junior) in 1971.
That would make him 17yrs of age and the 5th Special Forces pulled out of VN in 1971 and went back to Ft Bragg in 1971, so we realized he has apparently been feeding us a line of bull. The more we been thinking about this we are wondering if in fact he was ever really in the service.
His name is Ward F. McGorder Jr (as you can see) and according to his D.O.B. is only 59 yrs of age at this time.

NPRC has no record of him ever serving |
This asshat was given the chance to cease and desist with
the bullshit posing. How does he respond? He claimed the
NPRC check ran on him was inaccurate because when he
“came back from Nam had to change my SS# due to a
bounty on my head by the North so the report is wrong as a
correct search wasn’t ran….”. Yeah, changed his SS# but
NOT his name nor his home of record nor his appearance
. Latest doozy from this clown is he’s telling customers at the
gun store he works at that “one time got shot down in a
Huey and had to spiral it down”. Yes this guy is for real, a
true cartoon.. Also continues to claim was personal friends
with Tony Poe (CIA). Claims was in Nam in 1968
I know this guy! Not personally but I frequent Steve’s Trading Post in Joplin where he works and he is always talking about his time in special forces. Everything that comes up when this guy is around seems to turn in to a viet nam story, sometimes kinda annoying really but to find out he never even served really doesn’t surprise me, some of his gabbing is pretty “out there”. Wow, what a loser.
Wow, this guy has been busted hands down and compounds it by telling more lies in a feeble attempt to save face! Pathetic, speaks volumes about this insecure dirtbag. Naturally he couldn't have just been an average joe that went to Nam and maybe got in the sh++ a time or two, no he had to be special forces like his kind always do, a little valor theft isn't enough for wannabes like this, they gotta steal every bit of it. Pathetic!
