"Kelly Withers falsely claimed to be current U.S. Army Captain, and was wearing that uniform to show horses at Ft. Sill. He wore a variety of medal ribbons, including CIB and purple heart, none of which were actually his. He used his appearance at Ft. Sill to gain an invitation onto a military equestrian team based in Ann Arbor, MI...  He forged orders for his participation in this team, and used them to get financial credit extended by the veterinarian and boarding stable where he kept his horse. He defrauded them out of thousands of dollars, because when he was exposed as a phony, he bolted out of state leaving all his bills unpaid. He also used his well rehearsed story of being a wounded veteran to gain all sorts of favors from our very patriotic and supportive (and naïve) group fixing his truck and trailer, room and board, etc, etc.. He has been banned from the United States Cavalry Association as well as any participation in military equestrian groups."

He used to work in Iraq. He often said he was a ranger, with the rank of captain with missions in Somalia, Colombia, and Iraq (claimed to have made an airborne assault at Al-Quayyara Air Base, 2003). He even said that he was on that mission from the story portrayed in the  movie "Blackhawk Down" He worked as a firefighter with WSI  for about 4 months and left saying that he had a job to be a fire instructor at Qatar with Texas A&M and that he was chosen because he is fluent in Arabic. The funny thing is that he went to be an instructor for the fire service when this was his first job as a firefighter, which lasted about 4 months!!

---------------

He claims to have been injured by RPG fire in Iraq, and that is why he returned from there prematurely.  .....  have contacted Texas A&M and other than taking a few fire related classes there they don’t know him.
