Energy executive pushed by Perry padded his military record (Ukraine)

[AkFemDem]

"An oil and gas industry executive that Energy Secretary Rick Perry recommended as an adviser to the Ukrainian government exaggerated his military credentials, according to U.S. veterans who said he scrubbed the false information from online profiles after learning they were investigating his service record.

Robert Joseph Bensh claimed to have been a member of the U.S. military's most elite combat units: Army Rangers, Special Forces and Delta Force, the hyper-secret counter-terrorism group. But a summary of his military career obtained by The Associated Press through a Freedom of Information Act request shows he spent less than five years in uniform, almost all of it with the Army National Guard. Bensh was on active duty for only a few months, according to the summary."
