I'd like to PM with a recent vet that was stationed in either Afganistan or Syria. I'm getting communications that do not seem legitimate. Appreciate your help.

"do not seem legitimate" in what way?
Prefer to discuss in private message with Vet deployed in Syria or Afganistan.

No doubt he posted it to the UHH forum hoping some vet here could help him, via PM. Why is that difficult for you to understand?

Sorry, my thick head didn't consider that possibility. I just totally misinterpreted the OP's intent.

99.99999% of the time, if you have to ask yourself “is this a scam”; it is. Go with your gut.

I get these regularly. Usually the sender wants help in shipping two trunks containing millions of dollars that he has found in some abandoned palace etc.

Ah, now I understand. If he wants anything - and I mean anything - from you, forget about it.

The FACT that you will not discuss this in the forum tells me that YOU are most likely the scammer!

That sounds a bit harsh to me. I accept his request at face value until proven wrong.

I recruit for the Military Order of the Purple Heart,,,and if not eligible for MOPH for the VFW, DAV, American Legion or Amvets,,,without our Veterans Organizations we probably would not have any Veterans Benefits at all,,,I have to ask for a copy of their DD214 Discharge Papers which includes very personal information which is sent in with the application to the appropriate Veterans Organization,,,if you ask to see a Veterans DD214 they probably will not show it to you but there is the chance that they might, if they get mad they are probably hiding something,,,if your contact with the Veteran is not local but long distance then I don't know how You can prove if they are a Veteran or not unless You do what You are trying to do compare their stories with a Veteran who has actually been there, I would not show my DD214 to anyone before making a copy and blacking out my social security number and any other information I might find compromising..
