This is funny. There was an article in the paper about bogu Medal of Hoinor recipients. According to an FBI source there are more people falsely claiming to have received the Medal of Honor than there are true recipients."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment

That would be wise, my friend.

I think its interesting to note that there hasn't been any fake Iraq war vets AFAIK."And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.

Re: Need help exposing phony veteran
Ask to see her DD 214. If she said no or she lost it, than you are correct, she is lying about being a vet. Or ask her the name of her discharge paper is. DD 214 of course. You can also ask her Rate or Rank. If she said PFC than ask is that an E-2 or E-4, she should ans E-3, if not she would be lying.Originally posted by Badtz Maru
My mother, who is in her 70s, told me recently she made a new friend that she's spending a lot of time with lately. I was happy to hear this at first, because she hasn't made many new friends since a move a couple of years ago, but then she told me some things about this friend that make me suspicious.
This woman says she served during the Gulf War, which is perfectly believable. She also had another couple of claims that made me start to doubt her. First, she claims to suffer from "Gulf War Syndrome" and my mother says that this woman claims to still cough up oil sometimes from the well fires. From what I've read there's very little evidence that Gulf War Syndrome cases have a common cause and have anything to do with the conflict, and secondly the claim to be coughing up oil 15 years after exposure to it seems weird too.
The second claim, which I think SHOULD be pretty easy to verify as false, is that she was hit by shrapnel and still has shrapnel in her. She claims to be US Army, and I saw that there were only 466 non-mortal injuries during Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and though I couldn't find the casualties for this conflict broken down by demographics, in other conflicts (like the current one), females make up a tiny percentage of combat injuries. I wouldn't be surprised if there were less than a half-dozen female soldiers injured in that conflict altogether, and of those I find it unlikely that some would still have shrapnel in them, unless it was lodged very near a vital organ.
I'm pretty sure we're just dealing with a habitual liar here, but I'd like my Mom to be informed in case she starts trying to borrow money or otherwise exploit my mother. Can anyone help me find the statistics I'd need to verify/disprove this?Last edited by Joseph; May 1, 2006, 22:59.Comment

Screw the exposing her crap. If she's coughing up oil report her to ExxonMobil. I'm sure the finder's fee for a new oil source would be pretty hefty.Comment
