David Young said in a news release.<\/p>\n<p>Officer Robert Ornelas investigated the report and determined Guidi was never a POW and that he was discharged from the military as a Private First Class. Guidi allegedly used his reported status to receive a new deck and a hunting item, with a total value of more than $30,000.<\/p>\n<p>In Dec. 2013, Guidi received a new deck to replace the one he lost during Superstorm Sanday, Neighbor News reported. Guidi estimated at the time the cost of the materials and labor was more than $30,000.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>Guidi&#8217;s been charged with theft by deception and with violating the New Jersey Stolen Valor Act. He was remanded to Morris County Correctional Facility in lieu of $25,000 bail, police said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m conflicted. If he was given the deck for being a Vietnam veteran, he was a Vietnam veteran. But if he was given a deck because he was a Special Forces sniper, POW captain, then he wasn&#8217;t any of those things. I can see them punishing him for lying about the POW thing, but not for the rest of it. Unless someone is willing to admit that we only give free stuff to Special Forces snipers. Like I said, I can see them pounding on him for claiming to be a POW, but not because he was &#8220;only&#8221; a postal clerk. I mean, he went to Vietnam when many of his generation didn&#8217;t. He shouldn&#8217;t have lied, he should have admitted the truth from the beginning. So, like I said, I&#8217;m conflicted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pablo sends us a link to the news that Robert Guidi, the phony Green Beret Special &hellip; <a title=\"Guidi, phony POW, arrested\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=63810\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Guidi, phony POW, arrested<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":63283,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,183,391],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-phony-soldiers","category-stolen-valor-act","category-valorvultures"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=63810"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63810\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/63283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=63810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=63810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=63810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
