Who Lies, FAILS

An Army Cadet instructor in Britain has resigned his position after falsely boasting on his Facebook page that he was SAS and had 100 kills in his service.  Among his claims,

Mr McAuley, an adult instructor in the Lancashire Army Cadet Force, based at Fulwood Barracks, Preston, claimed that he had been a paratrooper at the battle of Goose Green in the Falklands War and that he was the second SAS man on the balcony of the London Iranian Embassy siege in 1980.


As it turns out, he was actually a member of the Army Catering Corps, which was the service that prepared food for soldiers until it was folded into the Royal Logistics Corps.  So really, I don't know that he's lying when he says he's killed 100 people, considering this isn't just British food he's cooking, but British military food.  Anyway, he was busted by other soldiers, and resigned when those soldiers threatened to take his lies public.  I should note, I respect the guy for serving his nation(assuming he did so honorably, or honourably, I guess), but his lie denigrates both what the SAS does and what he did, and that I don't respect.
