Military troll pretends to be a soldier who commited suicide

A wannabe “US Soldier” from Australia known for drinking too much and acting like a dumb Private is still at it, only he’s become far more sophisticated in his make-believe mission: he’s pretending to be a soldier who committed suicide.

Perth resident Michael Wright has been known to play Army, embracing the role of a drunken Private who is devoid of all sense or reason. From cussing to drinking in uniform and riding his bike wearing PTs, there likely isn’t much this special little soldier won’t do to get thanks for his imaginary service.

Wright has recently photoshopped himself into photos of combat troops, as well as inserting himself three times into the same photo (which ironically featured a quote by George Washington concerning “imposters of pretended patriotism”).

On Sunday, Wright posted a photo of himself lying in stasis, with the Stars and Stripes draped over his body.

Humorously enough, most veterans and service members who know of Wright don’t actually hate him- instead, they frequently opt to play along in order to entertain themselves.  Many veterans thank him for his “loyal service” to the US Army.

Wright was previously featured on Popular Military, where we came up with a neat (albeit fictional) backstory for him.

You keep doing you, Michael. After all, inside of every Australian is an American trying to get out.  Let’s just hope your stunts don’t get any more offensive than your latest -or not.
