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

The Panama City News Herald <\/a>tells the story of Robert “Bob” Leroy Rogers who told an elderly neighbor and Air Force veteran that he had been incorrectly listed as deceased from his time in communist POW camps in Vitnam and how he’d used that status to fight against drug lords in Central America, because only dead people can fight drug lords, I guess. <\/p>\n

Anyway, because he was legally dead, the government couldn’t pay him until the issue was cleared up. So Rogers convinced his elderly neighbor to pay his property taxes – I guess if you’re dead, that doesn’t exempt you from taxes.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Lipovsky became suspicious that although Rogers couldn\u2019t seem to get his money from the military, he was receiving disability. Later, police reported, some people who knew Rogers in New Hampshire contacted Lipovsky to alert him he might be getting duped.<\/p>\n

When officers asked Rogers about the borrowed money, they said he admitted to being misleading and said although he he was enlisted in the military, he was never deployed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All-in-all, Rogers took Lipovsky for more than $18,000 – but, you know, stolen valor is a victimless crime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
