Fully agree, cool calm but to the point. How true warrior veterans keep their cool with people who try to steal veterans valour is testament to the quality of our service men & women.
It’s also normally the case the have mental health issues and or very poor social skills. The second you know what there up it it’s all a bit sad and pathetic. You know they haven’t got much in life in the way of friends or a life and that’s worse than slapping them about a bit.
What a Fucking idiot. As if nobodies gonna get on to him?And why the fuck would you? He's head must be in serious disarray. Did they catch his great Grandfather lying during conscription in world war 1 and it's disgraced the family name as the village brigade all died fighting for king n country. The while male population of his generation except him and the vicars son. Even Hillary the 6ft, 20 stone, lisping, village, barber and hairdresser. Died prancing about no man's land with his razor sharp bright pink painted bayonet! !!coooeeey
This Walter video is my favourite....the interviewer doesn’t show his anger yet ties the Walter up in his own lie and does it with a bit of class...he doesn’t get offended and start shouting but yet calmly ties the Walter up in his own lie.....knobber 🤣
Yes, he's genuine... I served with him in nam battle of Britain and served him at tescos. We we're in special ops....He did this and that. Also that too.
Never mind Walter, for a regular bloke who would get too homesick to join the military this is a great example of the sort of bloke who looks after us and our country - God bless you Jonah and I'm humbled I get to leave a personal message on your channel, loads of people appreciate you and the old guard like the late Rob Bromley. True British warriors, we should all be grateful
I got off the train at Lympstone Commando Station my Drill Sergeant was standing there waiting to take us all into CTCRM, I dropped my ironing board as I got off the train, first word I ever heard in the military "Knoberrrrr".
Mental problems. Wanting acceptance. Wanting to be part of the group. Wanting respect. Delusional. And also lazy. Much harder to do it. Easy to say it.
Saying & Doing are two separate things. Unless you have the mind set, don't bother, it's not a jolly with your mates on some Mud Run weekend, & you can pop home to your mother to do your dhobi for you.

My old man was RN combined operations WW2 on LCA’s he never went to any commemorations he always went the next day to lay a wreath to his ship mates . He told me there are far too many nobodies wandering about waving flags who were just riding on the backs of the poor sods who never came home.

I still lay a wreath on his behalf the day after commemoration day and as for wearing a relatives medals on the right side I would never ever do that , only those who earn them are entitled to wear them .
My late father was a RM and was also combined ops, he was on LCM "s on the landings as he used to say.

We've all worked with one haven't we - the guy who claims to have served in the sas, then worked as a body guard for iron mike tyson til he got head hunted to go and work for NASA.
A few years ago as a young copper my wife and I settled down to watch Silence of the Lambs, first time it had been on TV. About 15 mins in there was a knock at the door, stocky little guy in a sheepskin coat, Bentley ticking over just behind him. He said that he was looking for an old friend who used to live in the area. I said that I didn't know the name. He then said that he was arranging a big party because he had come into a lot of money and was emigrating. He went on to say that he was in the SAS, was involved in the embassy siege and had to leave the country for a little while afterwards because it was "on top". What a wanker. As he drove off I took the registration number of the car, one number and two letters. I went into work the following day and PNC checked it. I rang the owner, the CEO of a large company. I told him my story. "That's my chauffeur" he said "he dropped me off at the Metropol Hotel in Solihull and had about three hours to kill." He was in the catering corps. He assured me that he would have strong words with the guy. I said "Tell him that the young copper from Solihull isn't as big a twat as he clearly looks."
Are you allowed to just run a check on any reg number you like even when it's something non-work related you've come across off-duty? (Not saying I wouldn't have done the exact same thing when confronted with a lying little bellend like that though, just curious).
@@derekgalbraith1508 Combined operations ceased in 1947, in 1982, before the Falklands, Hms Bulwark had already been decommissioned.Im surprised this pratt did not say he sailed on Hms Victory to the Falklands.
@Non-Stick Pan So off-duty cops are allowed to run checks on national databases for anything they find suspicious which they come across in their civilian lives while off shift?
@Non-Stick Pan Well that's surprising. I would have thought they would have to call it in and let people actually working on shift deal with it under proper procedures and oversight.
I have met this guy. He lives in Bayston Hill and previously worked as a paramedic. After that he worked as a resilience manager for the council and local NHS. He is a trustee at Serve on Ltd.
We served together in the long range desert wind surfing battalion, one of the first candidate's to pass selection following the disbanding of the deep sea skydiving cadre. The cadre was disbanded due to the attrition rate on the underwater knife fighting module. He's gen.
this is gold, I always come back to it! Notice the real Marines walking past, each briefly glancing at the Walt and clocking his act instantly, with little smiles of humour! No doubt these lads would have been hilarious to serve with!
I agree, I saw one in Portsmouth, this guy wore a red beret on the wrong side, desert trousers and DPM top. Claimed he was in the "Army Air Corps" even though the AAC have light blue berets, and the 2 types of camouflage he had were obsolete because we have MTPs now.
nah, it's the wrong shade of green. That's either slime green, for Int Corps or Adjutant Generals Corps (both Army, obviously). It's defo not a Booties green lid, though.
Michael Hanratty no it's not, as I said it's illegal to pretend to be a recipient of medals or awards, and is illegal to assume the identity of an actual soldier but it's not illegal to tell people you're in the army when you're not.
Lol, yes. Also had a pop at claiming he went South from Ascension on ... erm... 'Bulwark'? Nope. sorry, scrapped in 1981. have another guess you Elsan.
Tiger Team 2 I don’t have a clue been as I’ve just literally filled the application for royal naval reserves and awaiting my PJT but isn’t 3 commando AACC (all arms commando course). I say that because my understanding might be wrong is the AACC is open to all British armed forces to get there green lid in 3 commando. Again I affirm might be wrong?!?
The Kush Puppie join artillery then you have a choice while coming to end of basic trg to either try join your assigned regiment or try joining 29 commando or 7 para both extremely hard to join, beat-up at Plymouth to prepare then lympstone for commando trg
The beret he is wearing is, in fact the Intelligence Corps Cypress green. So he didn't even get that right. Having said all that, he does appear to be not quite 'all there ', so the gentle way it was handled was appropriate. There are plenty of Walts around who are just plain arses and deserve a rather more 'robust' calling out.
@@Penguin_of_Death you can earn a green beret through the all arms commando course for example you can be a royal navy commando and still have to wear your royal navy cap badge.....however this guy for sure didn't serve
0:17 the picture is priceless, cap badge centre of head, wearing a dads army scarf, cap badge not even RMC... WTF ... and lol the look on the guy, you can tell he knew he was about to be called out.
you dont have to be in the royal marines to earn a green beret you just have to do an all arms commando course being from any part of the military you then earn the right to sport the green lid but not the globe cap badge
@@josephmichael9540 army int corp has a cypress green beret. Hence green slime. No all arms commando course required. I think that's what he's got on here. The shade of green looks off unless that's the camera? He's combined a int corp green beret with some weird emblem and a getup from "ooerr soldier!: The musical."
@@lmaoroflcopter the emblem he is wearing is that of a royal navy officer thats why i thought it could have been royal navy with all commando course but your right the green is off.
Well done lads for your Support, im not a Marine BTW before i get lynched, was only 4 at the time of the Falklands Conflict, however it would appear that i have an infinite amount more knowledge regarding the 1982 conflict, did he say HMS Bulwark lol, ? anyway just wanted to say that i am so proud of each and every one of you, apart from the Walt that is, well done guys
I served down South went there on QE2,ok am not a Royal Marine or Para but we did a job and thankfully came home alive,it took me 10 years to get over the guilt of coming home and I don't know how long it took me to stop ducking when I heard an Aeroplane.I stumbled across this by chance so you guys know what I'm talking about keep up the good work of routing the Walter's for all our sakes.Gareth
If all of the Paras, Marines and SAS I have met in pubs over the years had actually served we'd be talking about a military bigger than China's crammed into our small country for that kind of occurrence. Funny how one rarely meets anyone from a less elite (though perfectly good !) infantry regiment.
I served in the RE from 1969 to 79 and did many tours of Northern Ireland. I did nothing heroic and was not involved in any special ops. I was awarded a GSM with Northern Ireland clasp (which my alcoholic brother stole to pretend he had served). I also spent time in BAOR and travelled to Denmark and Canada. Can I be a hero now?
@@trevorhoward7682 My friend Max was a Sapper around the same time, think he did 12 years. He won't talk about NI much at all, very bad times, but loves talking about his flights in the transport to Canada.
@@computerbob06 Two tours as infantry were crap. I was a squaddie not a soldier. On RE tours, when paddy blew things up we rebuilt them - sometimes. As specialist search team members we did work that seemed to have some meaning. In BAOR we pretended to blow up bridges and laid thousands of pretend mines. Spent many a day doing pretend weapons drills, pretend gas training and pretend first aid - and then went to the bar. I was a very good shot so I spent as much time as possible on the ranges. Happy (crappy?) days.
@@Twirlyhead In the friendly rivalry within the Army the RE are the Royal Engineers and the REME are affectionately known as the Royal Engineers Minus Education.
I personally have a lot of respect for the RMC as a youth of 16 I did a big part of the selection process but fell short on fitness and maturity and was encouraged to do the last step again once I left school. I didn’t re do the potential recruits course again and went in another direction. One thing I know is that the cor is very proud and so they should be as they are worthy of massive respect, it takes a special kind of person to make the grade and on top of that serving the country in dangerous times is another thing again. This fella stands out like a skid mark on brand new yfronts
I've worked with a few ex Royal Marines and they were great colleagues. Didn't need to "talk the talk".Despite the arduous training they'd been through and the high standards of the RMC they were pretty humble.
I like the way he says ‘it was a very small unit’ meaning, it’s small so you can’t possibly have heard of it. On a more personal level, I like to remember my great uncle this time of year, lost in the Great War.
My dad was awarded a DCM for his bravery during the assault on the German bunker codenamed "Hillman" by the 1st Suffolks on D-Day. He has passed away now, but I went to loads of military events with him and it's amazing how many of these idiots are out there - from the re-enactment mob who think their all in the SAS desert patrol or US 82nd Airborne, to the ones who try to pass themselves off as genuine servicemen like this mug. My personal gripe is all the fake silverware knocking about. There are so many of these medal manufacturing companies, that you can't tell a real medal issued by the MOD from a fake. A "Walter" like the one in this video could have 6 medals on his chest and they're all Franklin Mint rubbish and someone meeting this clown with no knowledge could be highly impressed by him. I remember one National Service fella who would turn up to the opening of an envelope, (and seemed to be at any event my dad was invited to) went over the course of a year from sporting just a General Service Medal, to a chestful of medals - including one for being on the artic convoys!
🤣 yes he does look I little like Ricky Gervais, and I thought that the Walter Mitty guy in fancy dress looked awfully like one of the teachers from Grange Hill.
'Where did you serve?' 'Grace Brothers alongside Mr. Humphries'. 'What conflicts did you partake in?' 'The infamous Oxford Company Conference paintballing war of 1986'. 'Do you know what SAS stands for?' 'Of course I do. I'm insulted that you even asked me. Super Army Soldier'
He’s actually genuine. I served with him at the battle of Waterloo, we sailed in on the millennium falcon.
Salute
Lol
This story is suspect.
Oh thats right did you not see me waving from hms thatdidnthappen? I even shot a unicorn flare???
I was there too, it was a tough battle and looked very grim when Saddam Hussain sent in his elite nazi taliban Irish rebels.
He served all right. 10 years in the Army & Navy Surplus Stores, where he was awarded the Staff Discount.

He then said that he was arranging a big party because he had come into a lot of money and was emigrating. He went on to say that he was in the SAS, was involved in the embassy siege and had to leave the country for a little while afterwards because it was "on top". What a wanker. As he drove off I took the registration number of the car, one number and two letters. I went into work the following day and PNC checked it. I rang the owner, the CEO of a large company. I told him my story. "That's my chauffeur" he said "he dropped me off at the Metropol Hotel in Solihull and had about three hours to kill." He was in the catering corps. He assured me that he would have strong words with the guy. I said "Tell him that the young copper from Solihull isn't as big a twat as he clearly looks."
Are you allowed to just run a check on any reg number you like even when it's something non-work related you've come across off-duty? (Not saying I wouldn't have done the exact same thing when confronted with a lying little bellend like that though, just curious).
@@derekgalbraith1508 Combined operations ceased in 1947, in 1982, before the Falklands, Hms Bulwark had already been decommissioned.Im surprised this pratt did not say he sailed on Hms Victory to the Falklands.
@@derekgalbraith1508 no he’s not allowed and it’s illegal to do so. Doubt the story is true.
@Non-Stick Pan So off-duty cops are allowed to run checks on national databases for anything they find suspicious which they come across in their civilian lives while off shift?
@Non-Stick Pan Well that's surprising. I would have thought they would have to call it in and let people actually working on shift deal with it under proper procedures and oversight.
I have met this guy. He lives in Bayston Hill and previously worked as a paramedic. After that he worked as a resilience manager for the council and local NHS. He is a trustee at Serve on Ltd.
You can see he's unwell
He would have been more convincing if he said he "i got brain damage from an explosion" and just kept repeating it.
We served together in the long range desert wind surfing battalion, one of the first candidate's to pass selection following the disbanding of the deep sea skydiving cadre. The cadre was disbanded due to the attrition rate on the underwater knife fighting module.
He's gen.
He served "Down South" Watford Gap services at Wimpy. He lasted a day there in 1981
Ha - Got you there. WGS never had a wimpy in 1981 - It was a Burger King.
He was in the " raspberry beret" Prince video tho, straight up.
this is gold, I always come back to it! Notice the real Marines walking past, each briefly glancing at the Walt and clocking his act instantly, with little smiles of humour! No doubt these lads would have been hilarious to serve with!
I was at Agincourt with him he was Henry V's aide de camp.
Ah I remember that, I was included on the wikipedia before they changed it.
Yes, I recognised him immediately. Sir Lance-a-spot.
The cap badge was a poor-quality tin replica of a Naval Officer's badge. This was only highlighted by the wrong colour beret.
I agree, I saw one in Portsmouth, this guy wore a red beret on the wrong side, desert trousers and DPM top. Claimed he was in the "Army Air Corps" even though the AAC have light blue berets, and the 2 types of camouflage he had were obsolete because we have MTPs now.
hahaha, yea
There are assholes like that
actually the beret and cap badge are legit (not on him obviously). RN Officers can get a green lid too. The badge on his arm is from WW2 tho
nah, it's the wrong shade of green. That's either slime green, for Int Corps or Adjutant Generals Corps (both Army, obviously). It's defo not a Booties green lid, though.
Should be illegal, if it's not already. Insult to everyone who has serve, let alone those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
I agree it's disgracing the memory of those who fought and died to secure this nations freedom #help the heroes
It is illegal
Nah it's illegal to pretend to be decorated ie medal, ribbons etc but not actually illegal to pretend to be a squaddie
@@Monkeypole yes it is..
Michael Hanratty no it's not, as I said it's illegal to pretend to be a recipient of medals or awards, and is illegal to assume the identity of an actual soldier but it's not illegal to tell people you're in the army when you're not.
This guy served in the T.A with Gareth Keenan where he learnt how to kill a man with a single blow.
he used his hole as bait to take out a sniper on the roof of Debenhams
Yep that's true, I helped Tim steal his tiny tanks before I woke up at the crack of Dawn.
Me and this guy go way back I lent him my lightsaber in Afghanistan
He says "combined operations artillery" as though it were a question. "Could I have been in that perhaps? What's available?"
Lol, yes. Also had a pop at claiming he went South from Ascension on ... erm... 'Bulwark'?
Nope. sorry, scrapped in 1981. have another guess you Elsan.
The rusty B was in mothballs in Pompey during the conflict.
Combined operations. watching it on TV whilst whilst playing draughts in the pub 😜😜
Tiger Team 2 I don’t have a clue been as I’ve just literally filled the application for royal naval reserves and awaiting my PJT but isn’t 3 commando AACC (all arms commando course). I say that because my understanding might be wrong is the AACC is open to all British armed forces to get there green lid in 3 commando. Again I affirm might be wrong?!?
The Kush Puppie join artillery then you have a choice while coming to end of basic trg to either try join your assigned regiment or try joining 29 commando or 7 para both extremely hard to join, beat-up at Plymouth to prepare then lympstone for commando trg
Love the "nobber" at the end 😂
I’ve watch this over and over just brilliant for a moment I thought I had smellovision you could just see him sinking!
The beret he is wearing is, in fact the Intelligence Corps Cypress green. So he didn't even get that right. Having said all that, he does appear to be not quite 'all there ', so the gentle way it was handled was appropriate. There are plenty of Walts around who are just plain arses and deserve a rather more 'robust' calling out.
Richard Woolnough Aye, ain’t Corps beret, knock-off Naval Officers cap badge 🤦♂️
This has to be one of the best comment sections ever!
I was with him on HMS Bismarck when we went to Tenerife to liberate Aldi
RIP Rob, the "Other Walter Mitty" who did serve
@The right honourable Matty Mc Hoon Rob thought the question was if he served 'down south', rather than served whatsoever
It's funny. They are always detectible. It's going that little bit of an 'extra mile' to look genuine that makes it so obvious.
He is genuine I met him at pebble island the history got changed on wikipedia because he taught me the famous elbow destruction technique from cqc.
Amazing interview he was smiling at the stupidity of the drunk imposter. Much better when we make fun with eh irony and sarcasm than aggression.
Wrong shade of green in his beret ,instant giveaway
I don't think he's trying to give the impression he was RMC though - the cap badge is all wrong too
@@Penguin_of_Death im sure thats an agc beret. Tragically - i should know.
@@Penguin_of_Death you can earn a green beret through the all arms commando course for example you can be a royal navy commando and still have to wear your royal navy cap badge.....however this guy for sure didn't serve
0:17 the picture is priceless, cap badge centre of head, wearing a dads army scarf, cap badge not even RMC... WTF ... and lol the look on the guy, you can tell he knew he was about to be called out.
you dont have to be in the royal marines to earn a green beret you just have to do an all arms commando course being from any part of the military you then earn the right to sport the green lid but not the globe cap badge
@@josephmichael9540 army int corp has a cypress green beret. Hence green slime. No all arms commando course required.
I think that's what he's got on here. The shade of green looks off unless that's the camera? He's combined a int corp green beret with some weird emblem and a getup from "ooerr soldier!: The musical."
@@lmaoroflcopter the emblem he is wearing is that of a royal navy officer thats why i thought it could have been royal navy with all commando course but your right the green is off.
Nobody going to actually mention the fricking sunglasses then??!! 😂😂😂
My great great grandfather lost his life at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. He was camping in the next field, and went to complain about the noise.
mine too...their camper van broke down and not one injun would help push it.
“It’s up to you to stay around...nobber”🤣🤣🤣
He actually served in The Salvation Army he was dishonorable discharged for blowing on the Majors trumpet too hard 😂
Well done lads for your Support, im not a Marine BTW before i get lynched, was only 4 at the time of the Falklands Conflict, however it would appear that i have an infinite amount more knowledge regarding the 1982 conflict, did he say HMS Bulwark lol, ? anyway just wanted to say that i am so proud of each and every one of you, apart from the Walt that is, well done guys
I served down South went there on QE2,ok am not a Royal Marine or Para but we did a job and thankfully came home alive,it took me 10 years to get over the guilt of coming home and I don't know how long it took me to stop ducking when I heard an Aeroplane.I stumbled across this by chance so you guys know what I'm talking about keep up the good work of routing the Walter's for all our sakes.Gareth
If all of the Paras, Marines and SAS I have met in pubs over the years had actually served we'd be talking about a military bigger than China's crammed into our small country for that kind of occurrence. Funny how one rarely meets anyone from a less elite (though perfectly good !) infantry regiment.
I served in the RE from 1969 to 79 and did many tours of Northern Ireland. I did nothing heroic and was not involved in any special ops. I was awarded a GSM with Northern Ireland clasp (which my alcoholic brother stole to pretend he had served). I also spent time in BAOR and travelled to Denmark and Canada. Can I be a hero now?
@@trevorhoward7682 My friend Max was a Sapper around the same time, think he did 12 years. He won't talk about NI much at all, very bad times, but loves talking about his flights in the transport to Canada.
@@computerbob06 Two tours as infantry were crap. I was a squaddie not a soldier. On RE tours, when paddy blew things up we rebuilt them - sometimes. As specialist search team members we did work that seemed to have some meaning. In BAOR we pretended to blow up bridges and laid thousands of pretend mines. Spent many a day doing pretend weapons drills, pretend gas training and pretend first aid - and then went to the bar. I was a very good shot so I spent as much time as possible on the ranges. Happy (crappy?) days.
@@trevorhoward7682 _REME_ are highly respected in and out of the army in my admitedly limited experience.
@@Twirlyhead In the friendly rivalry within the Army the RE are the Royal Engineers and the REME are affectionately known as the Royal Engineers Minus Education.
I have a suspicion that this Walt will return to a supported living home after this event for tea and biscuits.
Jeff p ...& medals!
I can’t even get to the end of this - it’s so embarrassing.
I lasted until 3 seconds into the pause.
Hahahaha “it’s up to you... knobber” 🤣🤣
Very sad, for him, his family but most of all those that served.
The look Walter gave him at the beginning says it all.
By the looks of him, I'm surprised he didn't turn up with his mess tins.
And a hurdy-gurdy machine gun.
I love this challenging but not confrontational. A great exposure.
He is indeed genuine, we served together in Gears of War 1and2. did a great job of driving the Brumak
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
well done for calling him out!
Bet he sailed 'down South' in a rubber ring and armbands.
Plot twist: he actually had a flashback and saw his friends die everytime he zones out
I personally have a lot of respect for the RMC as a youth of 16 I did a big part of the selection process but fell short on fitness and maturity and was encouraged to do the last step again once I left school. I didn’t re do the potential recruits course again and went in another direction. One thing I know is that the cor is very proud and so they should be as they are worthy of massive respect, it takes a special kind of person to make the grade and on top of that serving the country in dangerous times is another thing again. This fella stands out like a skid mark on brand new yfronts
I've worked with a few ex Royal Marines and they were great colleagues. Didn't need to "talk the talk".Despite the arduous training they'd been through and the high standards of the RMC they were pretty humble.
@@geoffpoole483 yeh I get it, no need to advertise when you’re confident in yourself and possess real minerals💪
I like the way he says ‘it was a very small unit’ meaning, it’s small so you can’t possibly have heard of it.
On a more personal level, I like to remember my great uncle this time of year, lost in the Great War.
My dad was awarded a DCM for his bravery during the assault on the German bunker codenamed "Hillman" by the 1st Suffolks on D-Day. He has passed away now, but I went to loads of military events with him and it's amazing how many of these idiots are out there - from the re-enactment mob who think their all in the SAS desert patrol or US 82nd Airborne, to the ones who try to pass themselves off as genuine servicemen like this mug.
My personal gripe is all the fake silverware knocking about. There are so many of these medal manufacturing companies, that you can't tell a real medal issued by the MOD from a fake. A "Walter" like the one in this video could have 6 medals on his chest and they're all Franklin Mint rubbish and someone meeting this clown with no knowledge could be highly impressed by him.
I remember one National Service fella who would turn up to the opening of an envelope, (and seemed to be at any event my dad was invited to) went over the course of a year from sporting just a General Service Medal, to a chestful of medals - including one for being on the artic convoys!
surprising how far those arctic convoys went. Right up the Thames as far as Oxford I heard.
Lots of pretenders there: Jonah himself is obviously really Ricky Gervais.
🤣 yes he does look I little like Ricky Gervais, and I thought that the Walter Mitty guy in fancy dress looked awfully like one of the teachers from Grange Hill.
Quint Essential I have not.
😂 He so does. Even his facial expressions and tone. Hahaha I thought I was the only one who noticed
@@tezzingtonsir28 We are many.
@@Twirlyhead we certainly are. 😂
I used to play Call of Duty with him, he’s legit.
'Where did you serve?'
'Grace Brothers alongside Mr. Humphries'.
'What conflicts did you partake in?'
'The infamous Oxford Company Conference paintballing war of 1986'.
'Do you know what SAS stands for?'
'Of course I do. I'm insulted that you even asked me. Super Army Soldier'
He served as an Imperial Stormtrooper on the Death Star shortly before it was destroyed.I know I was with him,he saved my life.
DOWN WITH THE EMPIRE!!!
