Marine "general" now faces charge
Officials: He passed himself off as officer
David Vincent Weber arrived last month at a Ramona Veterans of Foreign Wars event in style: two stars on his shoulder and two Purple Heart medals pinned on the front of a Marine Corps uniform. Weber, 69, appeared in a federal courtroom in downtown San Diego yesterday with considerably less pomp. Ref. Source 8
What woukld he gain from saying he was a former marine general is it just a pride thing or looking for friends? If he is a war vet maybe he left with some issues and he really thinks he's a general. Oh, also if you retire from the military don't you retire one rank up?
