Good grief, Mr. Dancer! Petty fraud is still fraud. Petty thievery is still theft.

nothing surprising about this....I remember a previous column in which he bragged about stealing a hotel breakfast. Stirred a lot of discussion which clearly had no impact.

Ex-military is a bit extra touchy. 30 years ago I had enlisted, never left the country and rarely talk about it. There are people that when they find out treat me much better even when I make it clear that my sole contribution was inventing new ways to discreetly scratch myself in the heat.
I feel there is a bit of a difference with playing the rube at a casino where it is sort of expected and other portrayals.

In no way did I take credit for being in the military. When Bonnie brought it up (she was thinking of her ex-husband when she said it), I did my best to change the subject immediately.
When I first became of military age back in the mid to late 60s (I was born in 1947), being in the military wasn't very popular in many quarters --- primarily due to the unpopularity of the Viet Nam War. I wasn't crazy about joining, but I tried to do so. Back then you never saw standing ovations in airports when soldiers in camo outfits walked through. Today that's pretty commonplace.
Today a very high number of Americans respect our military --- including me. Certain levels of pretending are okay with me --- and others may disagree with what's the right balance. Pretending to be ex-military when you weren't simply isn't okay with me and I would never do it.
