what a turd.....he sent in 202 false mileage claims from 9/2009 to 10/2010 claiming that he was driving like 560 miles when this dirtbag only lived 3 miles from the medical center... what a disgrace. no wonder everyone scrutinizes and stereotypes vets as they do and then a story like this breaks and they say "yup....see i told you so". and there is another black eye that the rest of honest vets who aren't trying to game the system have to wear and sport the rocky look for..... thanks mr. harrison, obviously you must have had a waiver for the " integrity " part of your military training.

The Scumbag got what he deserved, but how could he have 202 travel claims paid, In Gainesville VAMC they verify your appointment prior to getting paid,

unless he had allot of doctor appointments.
