Some of the very worst ones to watch are very much NOT posers. They just decided to trade on their brotherhood like a farmer trading baby goats at the coop.

Shawn Ryan - real deal
Austin Alexander
Shipley the poser hunter
The Sheriff of Bagdad dude
Jack Murphy
the 'I shot Bin Laden in the face' guy
Sole Survivor
Jocko
...the list goes on

All of these cats are exactly who they say they are - they pimp thier "brand" - they trade on the reputation of their brotherhoos as muc or not more as their OWN reputation - not because of an individual talent but because of their ties to the community.

They all have the same thing in common - they are famous for being famous.
...like Paris Hilton


Just my two cents - maybe I'm missing something
