He altered some documents and claimed a bunch of medals before landing a job working with vets suffering from PTSD.

He got an army captain for a judge... :rofl :rofl

That's just sad. What he did, and why he did it.

A quality background check.  I imagine when applying for purple heart license plates they actually care enough to verify someone earned them.

True, but that was after the Houston (?) PD hired him as a consultant to the department for dealing with PTSD veterans...  don't mess with the Texas DMV.

British armed forces have an unofficial group of veteran soldiers who seek these guys out (guys who prance about in uniforms with decorations they havent earned are referred to as Walts after Walter Mitty)

The Waltenkommando tracks them down and outs them with surprising aplomb :banana:

Scumbag, deserves all he gets. Personally I would treat him to quite a substantial "interview" with some Veterans of the current Iraq-Afghan conflict, see how they feel about it.

He demeans and insults the achievements of the men brave enough to stand in front god knows what, artillery, IED's, a bunch of screaming Jihadis with automatic weapons, Christ even Nuclear and Chemical Weapons. 

as I said. Scumbag.

There's a similar organization in the States called Stolen Valor Task Force.
