After appearing in a television news story, Vietnam veteran Charles Bass decided to come clean about his service in that war.
If a Kenyan communist can be elected President what's the big deal about pretending to be a decorated Sergeant Major.
After reading the entire story, it is so apparent that this person blames his father, his color, and anything else but himself for his crimes....his claims to medals he was never awarded.
A good book, Stolen Valor, covered this subject. A lot of victimhood in each story.
Joh Cary is that you?..... No wrong state!
I personally saw cases in the Army where guys would show up in my unit wearing badges and tabs they never earned or went to school for and got caught. Despicable.

Kin of jon carry.
His search has been vain. He is trying to steal valor...which he can never do...and manufacture honor out of lies. Sorry, that dog will never hunt.
Well, he remembered to blame racism, but he forgot to blame Bush and global warming. Guy makes me want to puke.
Many years ago I found a VN vet about to pawn his medals in a store. I waited until the guy gave him a price — a ridiculous one. The I stepped in a offered the guy four times what the shop was offering. He took my offer and I made a big deal of getting his name, address etc - for my business records. One of my associates followed his life for a few years. Then we employed him in one of our businesses near his home when we had an opening. After a year I showed up and presented him with his medals in a case as a one year service to the business award. He worked for us until we sold out the business about three years ago and was a solid mid level manager. He just needed a break. Guys that claim medals are the lowest.
He is a disgusting P.O.S.
What hs is really saying is that he is the victim in this charade.
Expect to see him in the front line at a King Obama campaign speech soon, crying and weeping about being victimized by Bush.
....anybody who’s ever served in the Army knows a CIB is quite worthy of respect in and of itself...Bass’ DD214 shows he got one and he should have let it go at that...I notice that’s what’s on his ball cap too.
This pantload should spend the rest of his life in jail.
Cuff him Dano!
Gee John Kerry did the same thing with his Viet Nam medals, but was a better liar.
My father fought Vietnam. When he returned to the US, he kept his medals in a draw and rarely talked about his experiences. His closest friends didn’t know he had earned 2 V-devices until he passed away a few years ago.
Most vets I know don’t talk about the war.
Remember Admiral Boorda? He’s the one that was caught with fake v-devices and committed suicice. Let’s see if Charles Bass follows in Boorda’s footsteps.
