The Atlanta Journal Constitution<\/a> reports this morning that Shane Ladner, the fellow who lied about his military service to get free a deer hunt and a ride on a float which cost his wife her leg, may be facing charges from Cherokee County. <\/p>\n

Ball met Tuesday with Cherokee County District Attorney Shannon Wallace, who told the AJC she has requested that the Cherokee County Sheriff\u2019s Office launch an investigation into allegations that Ladner lied about his war record.<\/p>\n

Wallace said it\u2019s too early to tell what laws, if any, may have been broken.<\/p>\n

Ladner, speaking through his attorney, Kevin Glasheen, insists he is not lying about his record but offered a revised version of his initial account of his military service.<\/p>\n

\u201cShane was stationed in Honduras at the time he was wounded during a grenade attack while on patrol doing drug interdiction tactics in Central America,\u201d Glasheen said in a statement. \u201cShane was instructed to say that he suffered his wounds during Operation Just Cause in Panama rather than when and where the events actually occurred because of the sensitive nature of the military\u2019s involvement in drug interdiction in that region.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We got a hold of Ladner’s DD214 which supposedly came from his lawyer. It looks forged to me;<\/p>\n

\"Ladner<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

For one thing, he lists a “Joint Service Commendation Medal with Combat Distinguishing Device “V””. The Joint Service Commendation Medal is for “merit” and the “V” device is for valor, not for combat service, I can’t find an example of a Joint Service Commendation Medal with a “V” device, or where it might be authorized. I think Ladner got confused while he was shopping for the medals he wanted on his DD214.<\/p>\n

If the Sheriff is looking for charges to file against him, he might try getting him for those Purple Heart license plates as well as the forged DD214. It looks like his lawyer has joined Ladner in his deception, Christian Boone, the AJC reporter told me that his lawyer is former military, too, so he knows that there are no records at Fort Benning that would prove Ladner’s lies, and that there are no hospital records in Panama that would support his Purple Heart, but he’s just hoping that it will all blow over.<\/p>\n

It won’t, since Ladner went on a hunting trip that a real wounded veteran could have used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
