..... The 58-year-old was discharged in 1974, and his life took a turn for the worse. The Army had sent home his clothes. His family believed he was dead and wouldn't pick him up from the airport. His hearing was damaged because of torture he suffered as a prisoner of war.....

Rick Golding (aka Graig Wolf/Gray Wolf) and Hushton Jackson live in Loman Idaho . They claim to be half brothers.... Both claim Army, POW's in Nam, have Purple Hearts, Rick claims a CMH and they both claim to be disabled Vets, both claim to have been in the 5th Special Forces in Nam, Rick claims to have been Honor Guard at Arlington.
It's reported that every year just before Thanksgiving they go to Horseshoe Bend, Idaho City and Boise with phony DD 214's to Church's and anywhere else and get food and clothes and toy's, whatever they can get and the use the war Hero angle, then these dirt bags allegedly SELL what they got to poor people who should have received it free. They also panhandle bars and stores. They do this with dress Green uniform jackets on, with all the Army & Navy store metals they can get their hands on. They go as far as to leave one arm out of a sleeve like they lost an arm in war (they take turns at this). They have reportedly gone door to door in Boise collecting donations in the name of the VFW.
Hushton Jackson was born in 1963 and he claims he was in Nam in 1968, he also left Leadville area of CO reportedly because family services wanted him for child abuse. Rick Golding is from up state New York and had to leave Texas reportedly because some Vets got close to skinning him... They both claim to have done training jumps out of special black op's aircraft that is classified, but didn't know what a c-119, c-130, or a c-141 was. They both claim to have been with the 5th SF and to have fought at hill 937 and they claim to have been there for the Tet offensive. Rick Golding claims to have been captured when the chopper he was a pilot of crashed at Son Tay prison rescue attempt. He also says he is a Karate expert and taught hand to hand combat at Fort Bragg. Reportedly neither have drivers license or known social security numbers. They live in a "compound" and also claim to have the missing 128 books of the Bible and a few wives each. They hide in Loman Idaho right across from the Sourdough Diner, (that is where their compound of old mobile homes are), neither of them work....Phoenix, AZ

Dob- Dec. 23, 1944
Claims to have been in the Marine Corps for 8 years with the 3rd Force Recon Company, and MACVSOG, completing 60 LRP's, and 28 behind the lines missions, completed 26 military schools and courses including Airborne/Ranger school, Jungle Warfare school, Amphibious Reconnaissance school, and operations against guerilla forces. He supposedly instructed Green Berets on Okinawa in hand-to-hand combat for 2 years. He wrote that he served a 22 month tour of duty in Vietnam. He goes on to say that, while attached to MACVSOG , he was a prisoner of war for about a month, then he escaped. He claims to have been wounded 3 times, each time receiving the Purple Heart and also had been awarded the Navy Cross, Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, Navy Commendation Medal with Combat "V", Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Palm, and the Presidential Unit Citation for the siege of Khe Sanh during the Tet Offensive in 1968, plus other unit and campaign awards, making him one of the Marine Corps most highly decorated Vietnam veterans. Then, he writes, after his escape from captivity, he made his way from the Mu Gia Pass(?) and was found by American soldiers. He writes that he was discharged in Aug of 1970, as an honorable discharge, but classified as RE-4(?) due to his psychiatric problems (Schizophrenia) When he was discharged from the various psychiatric hospitals and Walter Reed, he claims to have robbed the east-side branch of the Manufacturer's Bank in Detroit, where he lived. He said that the press called him the "Robin hood" bank robber, this was around May 23, 1978. He then wrote that he had threatened to blow up the federal building in the earlier 70's. He served time in Springfield, MS and Milan, Michigan. He claims to have killed many men with his hands and feet and to have gone outside the wire many times, alone, and killed record numbers of enemy personnel.
Am trying to remember some thirty (30) or so year old events and conversations, which is very hard to do, but I seem to recall that he showed me some documents which indicated that he left active duty in the early 1970s as a Staff Sergeant (E-6) with six (6) or eight (8) years of service and a whole raft of medals, to include the Navy Cross Medal and the Silver Star Medal. However, am not sure if it was a DD-214—though I think it was—or if it had been altered since I was not attuned to the wannabee issue back then; as you all know it just wasn't popular to claim to be a Vietnam veteran in the late 1970s/early 1980s.
Anyway, since this was before I knew about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), I never considered that he was a phony. I just thought he was a nut case, particularly since he came to Milan from the Federal Medical Center in Springfield, Missouri, where the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) keeps the nut cases, and since his case management team refused to release him on the compound, they kept him isolated in D Block—the “Bad Boy House”—while he was at Milan. My guess is that he has a very bad case of PTSD at the very least; it’s possible that he was adjudicated certifiably insane at one time and he could well be in relapse now. Tread real lightly around this guy; I definitely recall that the BOP staff was extremely concerned about him and if I recall correctly it was due to some violent incidents which occurred while he was at Springfield, if I’m not mistaken some staff got hurt trying to control/sedate/cuff this guy. ~~
3rd Force was combined with 3rd Recon thus we were called 3rd Reconnaissance Bn (REIN)
I can't attest to his claim for any awards however I do know that the only 3rd Recon units to receive the PUC for the seige at Khe Sanh were Bravo Co and the 3rd Platoon from Delta Co. that was attached to us

I saw your website and I thought, "what a joke! this douche bag can't do anything!!"
You so-called 'wanna-be busters' are a bunch of idiots, what with your self righteousness and your huffin' and a puffin' about how you are going to track down and get these people -- people like me, perhaps (or not)! ha ha ha
i can imagine someone saying, "I don't wear my stuff and hang out with a bunch of losers at the local DAV or VFW. What's the point? Those aren't the people that I'm trying to impress! I do what i want and wear what i want and say what I want and you can go fuck yourselves! And if caught, six months in a federal joint ain't shit! Lock me up and gimme all the free healthcare that I need, baby!" yeah, someone could be thinking that.
You're a fag and people like you are fags.

....PRISONER OR HONORED GUEST?
McCain’s 5½-year stay at the Hanoi Hilton (officially Hoa Loa Prison)
has ever since been the subject of great controversy. He maintains that
he was tortured and otherwise badly mistreated. One
of many who disagree is Dennis Johnson, imprisoned at Hanoi and never
given treatment for his broken leg. He reports that every
time he saw McCain, who was generally kept segregated, the man was
clean-shaven, dressed in fresh clothes, and appeared comfortable among
North Vietnamese Army officers. He adds that he frequently heard
McCain’s collaborative statements broadcast over the prison’s loud
speakers....

WILMINGTON -- The U.S. Attorney's Office said a Felton-area man has been indicted on charges of posing as a Marine Corps sergeant major and recipient of a Silver Star. The indictment said Dwight C. Johnson, 51, wore the uniform of a sergeant major, including a ribbon indicating he was awarded the Silver Star, the third-highest honor given by the Marines for bravery. The misdemeanor violation carries a sentence of up to six months in prison and a $5,000 fine. Johnson, according to prosecutors, did serve in the Marines from 1972 to 1976, but retired at the rank of lance corporal and received no decorations for bravery. Johnson was seen in September at the Navy/Marine Corps Reserve Center in Ogletown wearing the uniform with the improper rank and the unauthorized honor, according to court papers. Assistant U.S. Attorney Douglas McCann said the office was sending a message with the indictment, that "especially now in a time of conflict, you should only wear medals if you earned them."
