OK....perhaps there is some light that can be shed on this from someone with a lot more knowledge than me. Mayor Levy (Atlantic City) has gone into hiding after it has been found out that he "embellished" his stellar 20 yr Army Career by saying he was "a member of the elite "Green Berets" in Vietnam". Which he wasn't.
His TWO combat tours and TWO bronze stars have been validated....but that wasn't enough. He played the "I was SF" card.
Now-he has gone into hiding after being busted. He now has a federal investigation pending. NOT for Stolen Valor act. Not for wearing unauthorized medals....
He is being investigated for "receiving VA benefits that are
only afforded to Army Green Berets.
This particular point has been stated over and over again on Fox / CNN / and the "Pentagon Channel". What are these benefits that are only afforded to SF guys?
IS there such a thing or is this just one more example of the news services being misinformed?
I have heard this emphasized and RE-Emphasized and I finally gotta just ask.
