He must be a phony pharmacist too!

Does the fact that he admits being a phony war vet mean anything to you as far as supporting the fact that he is?

Ersland, 57, has described himself as a disabled Gulf War veteran, but The Oklahoman has learned he left the U.S. Army before the war began.

Ersland left active duty with the Army in February 1989, according to military records. That is more than a year before the first Gulf War began.

Ersland admitted last week he had misrepresented his military service. He said he was a liaison officer for the Air Force during the war.

"I didn’t mean to mislead you,” he said Friday.

A police detective said Ersland lied to the police and news reporters about the shooting. Ersland, for instance, said the robbers shot at him. "Fortunately, God made them miss me, except for this minor scratch,” he told The Oklahoman.

Ersland has said he is a veteran who was wounded during the first war in Iraq.
