Here is one of those I call, "The ones that want to be, but never were, and never will be."
For several years, this fellow Chuck Palazzo has been exploiting the stank-ass hippies claiming that he was a Vietnam veteran who went back to Vietnam to deal with his PTSD. He’s been living in Da Nang where he claimed that he patrolled the outskirts of that city as a Recon Marine in the early 70s, like in this PBS article;
Palazzo Claims
He’s also written a number of articles on the effects of Agent Orange on the local Vietnamese for those cranks at Veterans Today. His crowning achievement, though, seems to be fleecing Veterans For Peace Chapter 160 in Vietnam for several thousand dollars according to Vietnam Express;

This is not uncommon.
"As of the current Census taken during August, 2000, the surviving U.S. Vietnam Veteran population estimate is: 1,002,511. This is hard to believe, losing nearly 711,000 between ’95 and ’00. That’s 390 per day. During this Census count, the number of Americans falsely claiming to have served in-country is: 13,853,027. By this census, FOUR OUT OF FIVE WHO CLAIM TO BE VIETNAM VETS ARE NOT."

SGT (Join to see), the article says that it was between '95 and '00. The math works out for a 5 year period.
The thing that interested me was the number of those claiming to be veterans vs. those that actually served. It would seem that those that abused us when we came home now want to be seen as being one of us.

Capt Seid Waddell - That's typical. If I ever encountered a wannabe who was one of those that abused us, and made us feel worse than we already felt, and I found out, I would kick him in the nuts and abuse him.

Capt Seid Waddell - I know. I've met three and you're right. They aren't worth the time of day. Just venting.

Extradition to US and charge him. With increased relations with Vietnam it is possible. I'm sure they don't appreciate fakers either
