<\/a><\/center>\nDuke sends us a link to the UK’s Daily Mail<\/a> about a bust by stolen valor buddies at the Walter Mitty Hunt Club. the thief is Richard Lee who formed a running club and promoted it as a former Royal Marine, but, of course, he wasn’t;<\/p>\n
Mr Lee has admitted that he enrolled in the Officer Training Corps but never qualified after he dropped out through injury.<\/p>\n
His deceit was exposed by the The Walter Mitty Hunters Club HQ, an organisation run by former servicemen who investigate people who falsely claim they served in the Armed Forces.<\/p>\n
A spokesman said today that Mr Lee\u2019s actions ‘insult the hard work and reputation of our Armed Forces’.<\/p>\n
And the group accused Mr Lee of exaggerating his military career to build the British arm of Spartan Race which had a turnover of \u00a32.5million in 2012.<\/p>\n
A spokesman said: ‘Richard Lee was using the spirit, determination and hard graft needed to be a Royal Marine to seek his product, the Spartan Race, which the ethos of the race is all about.<\/p>\n
‘People like Lee insult the hard work and reputation of our Armed Forces. They use lies to gain advantage from the inspecting and by doing so give a misleading impression.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Walter Mitty Hunt Club says that they want a Stolen Valor Act like ours with which they can prosecute these crimes. Good luck, fellows. I hope your prosecutors aren’t allergic to do their jobs like folks over here seem to be. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
