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

We wrote about Earl L. Johnson nearly a year ago<\/a> when the Baltimore Sun wrote about him. He was telling the story about being a Ranger and serving in Bosnia and Afghanistan. He later admitted to the Sun that he had served for about a year and mumbled something about Afghanistan. His real story is that he went AWOL after a few months in the Army, then he was arrested for an armed robbery, and dropped from the rolls while he waited for a year for the trial, which ended up going his way. Here’s his FOIA;<\/p>\n

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

So, Johnson wasn’t in Afghanistan, he was in jail in Prince George’s County, Maryland. And he wouldn’t have been arrested in PG County, if he hadn’t been AWOL. Now, this Wes Moore guy is doing a documentary for PBS called “Coming Back<\/a>” about veterans returning from war and making it in the real world, and they’re including Earl Johnson in the documentary. <\/p>\n

Moore, also a veteran, has been made aware of Johnson’s misconduct and his lies about his military service, but he’s including Johnson in his documentary regardless, I guess because he couldn’t find a real war veteran, you know, because there are only a few hundred thousand. Or maybe it’s because phony stories are more compelling than real stories.<\/p>\n

But now you know the whole story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
