Richard A. Serrano's book examines early conmen who falsely claimed military service to draw financial benefits and undeserved recognition in a ruse that continues to this day.
If one ever needed proof that we live in a warrior culture, look no further than those who have falsely claimed military experience, from two-bit conmen to politicians and corporate leaders adding undeserved gravitas to their resumes. It is an attempt to steal glory, a recognition that much of the American public holds a special regard for those who have served.
