The guy at the table drinking beer and claiming to be a marine Sniper is in fact Duane and not Mick for all the internet know it alls. He is actually the one most have seen or spoken to at events, and he is very proud of his USMC background and loves to talk. Duane does far more shows and appearances than Mick. He also has experience outside of normal military service. Duane is also a reserve Police Officer and serves on a SRT unit (we always give ex-felons badges). He is a confirmed former USMC Scout/Sniper (he has also been accused of being a fake and felon by the same crowd, I guess they always allow fakes to give speeches at S/S graduations). Many folks confuse Mick with Duane Dwyer, the co-owner of Strider knives. In the many years I have known Mick, I have never heard him make a single public claim of anything other than his Army service and Ranger background. There is often more to many stories, and this is one of them. Did Mick do other "stuff" after seperation from the military due to an injury-yes. He has the DD214 to prove it, numerous Rangers who served with him, and it seems that the Ranger community has no issue with his claims-just a bunch of guys like Kevin McClung, Lance Harris, and Lynn Thompson who have never served in any L/E or Military capacity, yet feel the need to "out" those who did. Mick did in fact serve with the Army Rangers. Mick is one of the few people who I allow around my kid.
#Strider knives stolen valor full#
To put that in perspective, I have been a full time cop for 19 years, and my list of friends with a felony conviction is exactly 1-Mick Strider. Mick Strider is one of my closest friends.
