If you recall, Winnie the Pooh was (probably) a squatter. That house he lived in had the name “Sanders” above its door, and you never saw him pay a cent of rent so … he was most likely milking the system.
But that’s the Hundred Acre Wood with bouncy tigers and depressed donkeys and androgynous hares.
This squatter story is militaristic and, you might say, “evil”, just because damn — we don’t want to believe it’s this easy to infiltrate the United States Army and have everyone think you’re a soldier when you’re nothing but a freeloader.
It’s like those stolen valor videos only much, much worse. This guy made it a lifestyle. Literally.
This from North Carolina’s Fayetteville Observer:
Investigators are looking into how a civilian was able to move into barracks reserved for Fort Bragg’s 3rd Special Forces Group.
A spokesman for the group confirmed the unit discovered a civilian living in the barracks on Wednesday and reported the matter to Fort Bragg’s Provost Marshal’s Office.
The spokesman could not provide additional details, but said the situation was under investigation.
The popular Facebook account U.S. Army W.T.F. Moments also has reported on the incident.
The page reported the civilian had a fake identification card that he used to access post.
Fort Bragg officials could not immediately confirm additional details about the man or potential criminal charges.
