I asked him where he had served since at the time I was in the Army Reserves and knew a little about places overseas and he told me it was classified. I think our culture creates these people because we glorify the military and war and we make people think that they can pretend just like so many actors do in all their favorite movies. Being a veteran myself it doesnt offend me it just makes me sad to think these people are so discontent with their own lives they have to create a new one. Personally I blame reality TV.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630194278658226128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438008.post-45737550181058938892010-07-27T11:46:30.651-04:002010-07-27T11:46:30.651-04:00I guess checking their service records to see wher...I guess checking their service records to see where and if they served is just too hard? <br /><br />Clogging the VA and other services with phonies and spending money on fakes reduces the benefits available to those who really served and who really need the help. That's the cost of this sort of fraud.<br /><br />This is not a case of "minimal harm, no foul."Mark Tempesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18172703868541571574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438008.post-41974026477449420842010-07-27T11:05:10.404-04:002010-07-27T11:05:10.404-04:00Well, better that some impostors get money they...Well, better that some impostors get money they're not entitled to than that real heros not get the help they need because someone thinks they might be an impostor.Turknoreply@blogger.com
