We first heard about Paul Schoeder<\/a> nearly two years ago, when it was discovered that as a PTS counselor in Texas, he had told wild tales of his adventures as a phony special forces soldier with two Purple Hearts, Silver & Bronze Stars as well as a CIB and a boatload of other stuff. That, in itself, was bad enough but he was the director of counseling at the PTSD Foundation of Texas. So in a link sent to us by David from the Houston Chronicle<\/a> they gave him just 30 days in the local hoosegow;<\/p>\n

But on Monday, Schroeder admitted it was all a sham. His true records showed 10 years of Army service but as a military policeman stationed in New York, Panama and Texas. He was discharged before the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan even began.<\/p>\n

The investigation against Schroeder began after April 2009 when he applied for a set of special military meritorious service license plates with the Texas Department of Transportation.<\/p>\n

While filling out the application, Schroeder indicated he had received the Silver Star – the nation’s third-highest decoration for military valor.<\/p>\n

Authorities said Schroeder presented state officials his military discharge papers, which showed he had been awarded the Silver Star.<\/p>\n

FBI agents compared the document Schroeder presented with his actual service record from the Department of Defense. The legitimate forms showed no Silver Star or a record of attending the elite military schools he claimed, officials said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He also got a $3000 fine, but that’s hardly worth time to try. It was forgery of government documents, FFS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
