Prins Dschero Khan - US special forces?

[ErikMuller]

One thing is for sure: he's wearing a Military Pentathlon Cross, but isn't listed at http://www.militairevijfkamp.nl/ as a recipient or participant (and the list is complete since it started in 1916!)

[Doc Wilson]

This person lives in the Netherlands. Claiming to be a Mongolian Prince, ex US special forces and Dutch army. Professor in China, Martial arts specialist, etc etc

See google for more info. How likely are his medals?

Ah the dreaded Airborne Ranger MAC-V -SOG Force Recon Scuba Sniper. This is what the stolen valor act is all about.

Tell you what alot of old Vietnam SF hands who settled down in Bavaria would break this guys balls I am sure there is a Sf Vets Chapter in germany.

Yeah, I gotta agree with Doc on this one.

First he wears a gold U.S. master parachutist badge (no such thing), then on the Dutch page he's wearing some sort of huge gold U.S. jump wings with what looks to be a combat jump star on it. Other commenters have noted the incorrectness of his purported Special Forces qualifications - master HALO badge (when did he do freefall?), MACV-SOG patch, etc. While he may have some legitimate military service, and may have served as a martial arts or other form of instructor to various units at various times, I *highly* doubt that he has earned all the bling he's carting around.

In my experience, those who lie about their military service/awards don't just go in for an extra star on their good conduct medal, they tend to go for the "high profile" stuff - Silver Stars, Bronze Stars w/V device, Special Forces, and lots and lots of badges!

This guy just doesn't pass the smell test IMHO.

As for the Silver Star (Red white, Blue next to BSM w/ V), His name would be online for Recipiants in the US. The Halo wings are BS and the UN Medal with 1960 Device is wrong. The 1960 device goes on the Green and White Ribbon. This guy is one of the worst BSers that I have seen.

[Kev in Deva]

A known Walt who's mini medal bars and insignia migrate to various locations on his person with no ryme or reason, the same for the wear of various military association ties.

I found another link in dutch were this bogus SF guy is mentioned.

http://forum.fok.nl/topic/1604156

Despite what he writes or shows on his site regarding beeing linked

to the US Special Forces ( or a member as his bogus card shows)

He is,as i recall reading,known at ft Bragg as a fraud and not

even mentioned in their USAJFKSWSC books! :o

[Ulsterman]

His own medals? Ok-not even a Prince Alfons character then.

OK this topic is already 2 years old but i have some first/second hand information.

Fact: At the end of the seventies i was a Kempo (martial arts) student at the Kempo club Djenghis Khan in Oosterbeek, Netherlands. My teachers the brothers Rob and Ton Logher were students of Sifu Meijers as we called him. Gerard Karel Meijers is his official name and sifu means teacher. Next to the title of sifu or master he has many other titles like Prince or professor which i cannot prove. I met him examining martial arts students at the Kempo club in Oosterbeek in the Netherlands.

Fact: Gerard Karel Meijers is really a Korea veteran. I served in the Dutch Army as a regular. From 1984 until 1990 i served on 'Legerplaats Harskamp' which is an army camp with many shooting ranges. GK Meijers served here as well as a corporal many years before me. I know this first hand from Sergeant Major Eddy Falck who served together with him in Korea and on the 'Legerplaats Harskamp'. GK Meijers is entitled to wear the CIB like other Dutch Korea Veterans as well as the Dutch and UN Korea medals. I served also in the 48th battalion with the tradition of the Dutch Indies and Korea and i met other men who knew him from Korea.

Fact: Sifu Meijers trained GSG9 'Grens Schutz Gruppe 9' in martial arts. GSG9 is the anti terror brigade of the German Police founded in the seventies as an answer to the RAF 'Rote Armee Fraktion'. I have seen 8mm amateur movies from sparring fights between students (my later teachers) of GK Meijers and the GSG9 German Police. On one of the movies can be seen that Rob Logher breaks the hand of a German Police officer.

GK Meijers alias Dschjero Khan is an impressive man to meet but i think during the years his thoughts took him to imaginary places. He founded the WMAA 'the World Martial Arts Association' in the 70ties but the 10th dan in Kempo is a self proclaimed degree i believe. I think he never served in Vietnam and is not entitled to wear several wings, silver star, bronze star etc. Between the ribbons i recognize one DSB Deutsche Sport Bund ribbon for some military sports. Next to that he is a member or invited by many 'cold war' associations who have lots of fantasy medals and stars.

Resume. Gerard Karel Meijers is indeed a Korea Veteran, trainer of the GSG9 German Police and he played a significant role in the martial arts in the Netherlands.

The one thing i would like to know is if he's really an ancestor of Djenghis Khan. This can only be proven by DNA and as far as i know there's nothing left from Djenghis Khan himself. He is officially received by the Mongolian government but i think he will take his secret to his grave.

CRAP!!! Pure 100% CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!! He wears a SF beret with 5th Group flash and SF crest but he wears no arrowhead patch. The patch he does have on his left sleeve is a fabricated in-country patch that has no existence in the US Army supply system. He's a true blue wannabe. For Christ's sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ribbons are way wrong....before the internet was created by Al Gore , we called this kind of idiot a "PX/BX soldier" and I'd be more than happy telling that to his face.

I may be wrong, but I think that he was also an “Iron Chef”.

[Sampo]

Hi Everyone,

Yes, he was in Korea, but arrived after the war had ended in 1953. So he is not entitled to wear a DUC nor a KUC, and he wears both of them.

And just when did he qualify in submarines?

[Marcon1]

Whatever is the real story about this guy, at least he has an impressive medal collection ?
