"..Now, politicians are dealing with news that the man they believed to be a former Marine and war veteran wounded in Iraq by a roadside bomb, in fact, never served in the military — but did spend time in a mental hospital..."

Great! After the election, after the damage is done and this story is just an amusing anecdote the truth comes out.

I recommend everyone read “Stolen Valor” by B.G. Burkett. Written ten years ago but still relevant.

A personal note: a classmate loaned me this book while I was doing Reserve duty in Arlington, VA. I was privileged to stay at Wainwright Hall on Fort Meyer. Every evening for a week I read this book, just two hundred yards away from those rows upon rows of hallowed graves of the fallen brave of our nation.

JMHO, there’s a special place in Sheol for those liars and phonies who steal from the gallantry of others.
