Army deserter faked war wounds, got tens of thousands of dollars in benefits, indictment claims

There is always someone that will figure out just how to Game any Bureaucratic System and abuse it. If you understand the Paper Trail you have conquered most of the system.

Wow, that guy is a true scumbag

Charge him within the full extent of the law. This is in the realms of Stolen Valor and should be a federal crime. These people who extort others need to be put behind bars or at least forced to complete hours of community service.. Unacceptable.
