WASHINGTON (CNN) -- David Hackworth, the retired army colonel turned journalist who questioned medals worn by the Navy's top admiral -- who later killed himself -- acknowledges he wrongly claimed credit for two of his own military honors.

I met a fellow a few years ago that wrote a booked called "Stolen Valor". It was about people that lied about being in the military, what they did in the military, decorations, etc. He exposed numerous people that were fakes.

People that take credit for things they never did in the military are the lowest forms of life.
