One of our Canadian friends send the news of a bust<\/a> they made up there recently; Daniel Roy was a homeless bum on the street claiming to be a member of the Canadian Airborne Regiment in Somalia during the 1990s, that he suffers from PTSD and that he’s collecting money on the street to pay for his medication to treat his stomach cancer.<\/p>\n

The Department of National Defence could not confirm or deny that Roy served with the Canadian Armed Forces based on the information he had provided to the Star. Rob Prouse, a veteran of the Airborne Regiment, was unable to find a record of a man under the name in the nominal roll that listed those deployed to Somalia in the early 1990s.<\/p>\n

Prouse listed many issues with the uniform Roy was seen wearing: the badge above the medal ribbons would not be worn on a Canadian uniform; the badge on the maroon cap is not from any unit that was authorized to wear the beret in Canada; the jump wings aren\u2019t Canadian, and the flags on the lapels should be unit insignia.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Toronto police say that he’s been arrested for unlawfully wearing the uniform of “a Captain in the Canadian Army, contrary to Section 419 (a) of the Criminal Code”.<\/p>\n
