I'm reading all of it. These frauds boil my blood. In the course of my work I have met a lot of the local Veterans, from all theatres and conflicts. Vast majority are humble to point that unless I specifically ask about military service (info needed by me, to establish entitlements re. health care) you wouldn't know they were Returned Service Personnel. HOWEVER, in past years I have met a small number of 'Vietnam veterans' (note, no capital V) who would have you believe they were deployed to work in 'under cover' roles. I try hard not to roll my eyes, and think to myself.....oh no, not another one! Based on the very small number of Veterans that I personally meet, the total number of Australians who were involved in under cover operations must have been MASSIVE! What these clowns dont realise is that I can very easily reconcile service no. against service history. The result of searching often shows a somewhat less incredulous military service period. That said, there were two occasions where their claims were substantiated, or substantiation hinted at!

Its sad that people feel the need to create inflated importance in order to be admired. Surely it must chew away at them inside...........wouldn't it? I guess a sociopathic personality may not, but surely the majority of imposters are just sad little men who want some attention in an otherwise boring and unremarkable life.
