We previously posted about Gregg Ramsdell here<\/a> when he was charged with stolen valor, but in a brand new development Ramsdell has pleaded guilty to the charges.<\/p>\n

The Ledger-Enquirer reports<\/a> that Ramsdell was paid $76,000 for PTSD as a direct result of war events that he now admits he made up.<\/p>\n

According to the plea agreement, Ramsdell admitted to lying about a deployment in Afghanistan from October 2008 to March 2009. During that time, Ramsdell said he witnessed violent deaths and atrocities. He also falsely claimed to receive two of the military\u2019s highest honors to obtain a civilian position at Fort Benning.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then, WRBL.com reports<\/a> that Ramsdell described men, women and children being executed.<\/p>\n

According to the indictment, Ramsdell stated he had seen \u201cmen, women and children being executed. Women holding babies while detonating themselves. IED explosions causing severe bodily injuries and death. Retrieving body parts and bagging them. Having blood and body excrements being blown onto my uniform.\u201d He also falsely claimed that these experiences made him \u201cunable to live a normal life.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Ledger-Enquirer goes on to say:<\/p>\n

Ramsdell faces up to six years in prison and $500,000 in fines collectively for the charges. He\u2019ll also have to pay $76,000 in restitution to the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.<\/p>\n

There is no parole in the federal system. Sentencing is scheduled for March 23, 2020, according to court documents.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
