Atlantic City Mayor Levy admits he was never Green Beret

The Democratic Mayor of Atlantic City admits he wasn't a Green Beret
Mayor Bob Levy has knowingly misrepresented his military record to family, friends, reporters and the public for decades.

As an Atlantic City lifeguard and as a candidate for mayor last year, Levy claimed he had served during the Vietnam War with the U.S. Army’s elite Special Forces, more familiarly known as the Green Berets. In campaign literature distributed last year, he claimed he had won medals as a Green Beret.

None of that was true.
Levy — who has an otherwise distinguished military service record — was never a member of the Army’s Green Berets, he told The Press this week.
Bob Levy picked the right state to promote his career.Nothing seems to bother a huge part of the New Jersey electorate.
