Fake Vet

They say that this guy's a pro. He's been doing this for more than 20 years! 53 year old Robert McMahon, poses as a Marine Viet Nam Veteran who lost his left arm in combat. He is seen here panhandling along Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn until getting caught on film.

Doing the math, if he is 53 years old, that means he was born in 1957 and claims to have served in Viet Nam in '72-'73 when he was 15-16. He also claims to have been with the 2nd Division. The 2nd Division was never in Viet Nam. Also, there is no MOS or Military Occupational Speciality, in the Marine Corps ..."0311-Bravo."

Bums begging has always bothered me. A fake bumb posing as a disabled veteran?
A new low.
