Average NCO sends us a link about a sad sack<\/a> supposed Vietnam veteran who doesn’t mind using the rest of us veterans to make excuses for his deviant behavior. Apparently, he arrived on the scene of an automobile accident and took it upon himself to relieve a dying victim of $600 in cash and then blame it on his PTSD from Vietnam;<\/p>\n

[David Bilbrey]’s attorney, Deanna Knapp, said her client had served in Vietnam and earned several medals, including six Bronze Stars and a Silver Star. He suffers from chronic and severe post-traumatic stress syndrome as a result of his military service.
\n Knapp said when Bilbrey saw the wreck, it triggered a flashback to the violence he had seen in Vietnam.
\n “He came across a horrific car accident, Your Honor,” Knapp told Magistrate Judge Keith Whitney. “Massive injuries to Mr. Cox.”
\n She said Bilbrey checked Cox’s pulse before picking up the money, but the flashback caused him to shut down. He then got into his car and drove away.
\n Knapp said her client had accepted responsibility for his actions from the beginning.
\n “I think he was ready at the first court hearing to take care of this,” she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, I think that if he was ready to take responsibility for his sick behavior, he could have done it without shitting on the rest of us. he claims he had a stack of medals, too…if he’d steal money from a dying man, I’m pretty sure he’d lie about his awards, too. If he was having Vietnam flashbacks, how did he have the wherewithall to hope in his car and drive the fuck off?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
