I just don’t get this one... The guy served with distinction, 2 bronze stars, exemplory record, there was absolutely no need or reason for him to embelish it.
Its one thing where you have the “Winter Soldier” guys who just lie flat out about their service... either never having served at all or were booted out or served in the mess hall as a potatoe peeler or something. This guy had a record of service to be proud of... I have no idea why he did this.
I wonder if there are more shoes to drop. I.e., maybe even more of his military record is phony than the Green Beret claim.
OTOH, Jeremy Boorda also had a distinguished record of service, yet allegedly pinned at least one undeserved ribbon on himself.
