What Do You Think About The Story Of The Man From Texas Who Faked His Way Into The Army?
|
A Texas man with no military experience managed to trick the Army into letting him enter a reserve unit as a noncommissioned officer earlier this year, putting an untrained soldier in a leadership position in a time of war, an Associated Press investigation has found.
Jesse Bernard Johnston III, 26, joined the Army Reserve in February as a sergeant and was assigned to the Corps Support Airplane Company based at the Fort Worth Naval Air Station. But he wasn't qualified to hold that rank, according to military records obtained by the AP. The records show that Johnston's only military experience was attending part of a 12-week Marine officer candidate course for college students in 2004.
If it's proven that Johnston gained his Army rank based on a phony Marine record, it would be the first documented case of so-called "stolen valor" in which the military was duped during the enlistment process, according to watchdogs of such fraud.
Questions about Johnston were raised by an officer who grew concerned when Johnston couldn't satisfactorily explain how he got certain Marine medals and ribbons that he displayed. The officer, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, said he contact Marine and Army legal authorities and learned from the Marines that Johnston never served.

I knew him personally for several years, while he was faking his USMC status....Thought it's surprising, at the same time I am not all that shocked. He was always a pathological liar....i think he may be sociopathic and/or schizophrenic. He will surely be evaluated and I have no doubt they will find many things wrong with his mental and emotional health. |

Should be branded right on his face so everywhere he goes people know who he is and what he did. |

The SOB should be prosecuted and given the maximum penalty for the Stolen Valor Act!!!!
and at the same time the ARMY should be investigated for committing a major error!
nobody checked his DD-214?? |
