AP INVESTIGATION: Texas man faked way into Army

FORT WORTH, Texas – A Texas man with no military experience tricked the Army into letting him enter a reserve unit as a noncommissioned officer earlier this year, a deception that placed an untrained soldier in a leadership position in a time of war, an Associated Press investigation has found.

The revelation comes just months after the Army drew criticism for failing to flag the suspicious activities of the Army psychiatrist now charged with killing 13 and wounding dozens of others at Fort Hood.

The case, detailed in court records and other documents examined by the AP, raises more questions about the Army's ability to vet soldiers' backgrounds as it faces continued pressure from Congress over its screening and records system. While the soldier never deployed overseas, some say the case demonstrates how easily someone could pose as a member of the U.S. military

This person disgusts me. When I think all that my Ranger son and AF son have done to serve this country, I get furious. Man up, son. No wonder his wife anulled the marriage.

Too many people in our institution are not willing to confront someone who talks a good game. This just further rationalizes the vetting program we have in place here. It's incredible that a social website is harder to gain access to than an army unit.

Absolutely, but we are not the average social site.

I'm disgusted too! Why didn't he deploy? lol

If he has time, and you are nice to him, maybe RGRPuck will post the story of the guy his dad trained, who went AWOL from basic training, ended up in Vietnam (not once, but twice), promoted to SGT, got awarded a Silver Star, was on the Ed Sullivan show, and still never was officially in the Army.

Nothing gets you up to speed like OJT. I imagine there is a line unit deployed somewhere right now that needs a point man to sniff out IEDs.

From a strictly intellectual and academic standpoint using my highly developed mastery of the English language, I submit to you that perhaps you should play high and go fuck yourself.

Huh, bureaucracy at its best. Can't wait until they start running healthcare.

Fed probably needs to hire Clive as Poser Czar! Puck might be willing to be his assistant.
