Douglas Dietrich: "I was the first to expose the Bad SPN Codes" Lie

In a pathetic and disjointed response to my comments regarding his hatred of the US Military and veterans, in particular, Douglas Dietrich claims he "has done more for veterans than even Dannion Brinkley."

Dietrich cited his 2011 interview with John B Well on Coast To Coast AM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbbEOj6z3Jg as his being the first person to expose the use of "Severance Codes" or "SPNs" as harmful to veterans from 1947 to 1973.

Douglas Dietrich had absolutely nothing to do with "exposing" this alleged scandal.  The man who did, and was still involved in the issue was Edwin H. Crosby III.

Spin Codes - Legal Action
By: Edwin Crosby

"The author of this story, Edwin Crosby, served in the USAF from 1966-1971.  He volunteered to go to Vietnam and served in MACVSOG, 15th Special Operations Squadron,  Nha Trang, AB,  RVN  from November 1968 to June 1970.

His lawsuit began in March of 1976, having discovered in February of 1976, he had a BAD 'Spin Code' number.  The case was originally filed in the US District Court, Northern District of New York, Syracuse.  

He has been fighting this case on behalf of all veterans and has been instrumental in having D.O.D.  change the DD-214 many times to prevent future damage to other veterans.

Beginning JUNE 11, 1956, under D.O.D. Instruction 1336.3,  DOD ordered the military departments to begin putting a coded number on the main employment reference document of veterans. This document known as the DD-214 is intended to be presented to employers by veterans seeking employment and benefits.

According to Plaintiff's Exhibit NO: 6, D.O.D. Instruction 1336.1, dated September 1, 1966, SUBJECT - Standardization of Forms for Report of Transfer or Discharge of Members of the Armed Forces of the U.S., there were to be 8 or more copies of DD-214 made.  Copy one to the veteran, other copies eventually went to State Adjutant General, VA Data Processing Center, Austin, TX.,  State Director Selective Service, Nat. Military Records Center, St. Louis, Mo.

As of 1977, nearly 20 million veterans had a coded number. This is SHOCKING as in 1974  D.O.D. told Congress that only a couple hundred thousand had a code number.  Moreover, in 1974  DOD told Congress they would stop the " SPN "  coding system, however, in 1972, they were already changing the system to " SPD "  (separation program designator ).  They deceived Congress and the American People.  Millions of veterans with an Honorable Discharge have a " BAD "  coded number."

This story, as revealed by Mr. Crosby, also reveals that then Delaware Rep. Joe Biden and Arizona Sen John McCain were both involved in the government cover-up at the time (the early 1980s).  In addition, the info of litigation was later presented by Sen Dick Durban to President Barack Obama who also did nothing.

All of this as a result of an SPN Code ("411 Overseas Returnee") on the DD-214 of Mr. Crosby in 1970. WHEN DOUGLAS DIETRICH WAS 4 YEARS OLD!

But I guess that since Mr. Crosby is now deceased, Dietrich will continue to lie and somehow work this into his fake resume as well.
