A Ranger serving as Federal Law Enforcement officer with the Border Patrol brought Tommy to our attention.

As you can see, in the second screensave, Tommy even has the audacity to claim a Purple Heart (for wounds in combat). He also claims he was given an honorary lifetime membership to the United Nations Command Security Force.
