Question
QUESTION: How would God view a person who pretends to be an expert, joins an organization such as the United States National Defense Force Support Command (Separate) which wears military uniforms illegally and buys fake degrees from a diploma mill called the National Consortium Staff College?

ANSWER: Actually, I am not sure that is the case.  I was given that information by someone I trusted and from what I saw at the time it seemed to be legitimate as there was some documentation from the Department of the Army.  They were supposedly able to convert my military schools into the bachelors degree shown and they awarded me the honorary PhD based upon my two books and and other accomplishments.  I have not even heard from them since that happened and never thought anything about it.  However, until I can research them further I will remove those credentials. having received numerous credits from DANTES and CLEP their ability to award credits and or degrees did not seem abnormal and people are given honorary degrees by insitutions all the time so again no reason to suspect a problem.  Thank you for concern and I will do further research.

QUESTION: I am sure that is the case (they are phonies) as exposing these frauds is my field of expertise. The United States National Defense Force Support Command (Separate) and National Consortium Staff College have been shown many places on the Internet to have no connection to the military and no legal standing to award degrees. Their fake college was exposed by two state government and told to cease operation. Their current plan is to try and get around the law by calling themselves Gaither Christian College and awarding their fake degrees. Any documents shown that looked like they came from the Army are fakes, as there is no connection with them to any branch of the military, despite the fact that they lie and use the address of the Pentagon (but asking to only wrote them elsewhere). Will you cease to use the fake degree forever? Do you need an expert to lead you to the evidence?

Answer
I have no desire to use anything that is not legitimate.  I was going to write the state education board and ask them about this true. However, you appear to know quite a bit about the group.  Yes, as I can get it removed from the few places that I have listed it I will do so. I have remove did from my resume and a few other places.

I accepted it in good faith and sorry that a group would do such a thing as it does not honor veterans and certainly not Christ if they do the same thing under a Christian College name.  I may still write the state board just so I have something on record should I come across another person that did not know their story.  Thank you again for your concern and alerting me to this issue.
