The Phony Brigadier General: I've Seen The Elephant Too


This is a story that hasn't even hit the news yet. It's not in the newspapers in Houston, where it takes place, nor on national news. The FBI isn't much interested, and so it has fallen to military bloggers to do all the nitty gritty work and present this fake to the world.

LA Times, if you're worth the Sunday edition --you will follow this lead. If you don't, then naff off.

"Fake soldiers soak in the good will from civilians as they pretend to be soldiers who have done the gritty work of war. They besmirch the memory of those soldiers who have lost their lives.
