There was a luncheon for POWs at the Amarillo, Texas VA a few weeks ago, according to an article in the local news<\/a>. One of the POWs there was David Billings, wearing his best central casting costume for Hollywood’s version of a Vietnam veteran. <\/p>\n

And each former POW had a unique story.<\/p>\n

David Billings is a veteran of the Vietnam War. He said his helicopter was shot down and they were then captured. After being transported on a cattle train, people spit on him and threw feces at him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There’s video of the stank-ass hippie at the link, if you can stand to look at him, but it auto-starts so I left it there.<\/p>\n

The problem is that Billings was busted more than ten years ago by the old POW Network. The only time he spent as a prisoner was in an Army confinement facility at Leavenworth for his desertion from duty. He never set foot in Vietnam, according to his records.<\/p>\n

The FOIA says that he’s got a 40% disability, but not from a combat injury. Word on the street is that he has a VA POW card, despite the fact that he doesn’t show up at the DPAA as a POW. I guess Shinseki lied when he told Congress that there were only two phony POWs on the VA’s rolls. Billings has also tried to join POW organizations that are smarter than the VA and kicked him to the curb.<\/p>\n

I’ve emailed the author of the linked article, we’ll see if they’re as interested in busting a Federal criminal as they are to tell his phony story.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Average NCO for the link to the article. AverageNCO reminds us that last year<\/a>, Dick Stoops was at the annual event and so was Billings. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
