An Army deserter from North Carolina is facing federal charges for allegedly receiving tens of thousands of dollars in veteran benefits by faking war wounds and military honors.

Roy Lee Ross, Jr., 64, of Morganton, N.C., is accused of defrauding the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs by using the name of another Army veteran, according to the Charlotte Observer.

The VA can’t even do 5 minutes of work to prevent $60k in fraud...

Probably a Clinton Cabinet position in today’s America.

My thought as well while at the same many legitimate veterans can’t get treatment they need and are entitled to.

The maximum penalty should be applied to this piece of trash.
I can’t believe that the VA did not check his DD214 and not only question his reported “injuries” but to check the neck out to see if he had been shot. To hear that Honorable Veterans are still NOT being serviced properly is beyond belief after all the attention that has been brought to bear on the VA. Time for many heads to roll. VOTE TRUMP and these stories will cease.

What a “distinguished” career he’s had. Especially as an up-side down Colonel.

I’ve been out for more than 50 years so I’m in no way current, but is all that crap he’s wearing proper?
I’m not talking about whether he’s entitled to wear it, but is THAT the way it’s supposed to be worn today?
Looks like the jackets you used to see Olympians wear with all the different national pins.

Actually, he is employed to check the Metal Detectors at TSA.

Unfortunately, TSA was looking for a Metal Detector Tester and instead got a full blown Mental Case!

Not even close, he mixes uniform items and threw a bunch of stuff on. If anything is remotely displayed correctly, it was by pure chance.
