couple of things:
I know Bill "Ranger" Ivey real well. He is a freakin' character and will definitely get to the bottom of this. I suspect he'll personally go and paralyze the dude if he is found to have been fraudulent in the attainment of this house, (just kidding for you bed-wetters out there...).
As I am in the process of retiring, I can tell you that this doesn't surprise me at all. There is actually a cottage industry out there where folks advise you on how to game the system. Even the contracted folks that come in and teach/speak on the ACAP program give "hints" on gaming the system on claiming all sorts of bennies out of VA and "Uncle Sugar" that you are not entitled to receive. I've been advised to claim "sleep apnea" (currently the cause du-jour); tinnitus; phantom pains; PTSD (I think I may have gotten a paper-cut once downrange); etc. Disgusting.
What asses me up, is that there are a lot of folks out there who would look down on the crack-head, 5th generation welfare Mom's doing this but have no problems doing it themselves. Fraud is fraud is fraud. Makes me sick.
