Well, let's see here, Banko served in the jungles of the Mekong Delta with the 1st Battalion of the 506th Regiment with the 1st Cavalry Division. Well, I never was in the Delta but my understanding is it was a very heavily populated farming area. Not only that the 1st of the 506th was in the 101st Airbourne Division, not the 1st Cavalry.
I checked Stolen Valor and there he was. He really was a decorated war veteran but he also forged his name on another man's citation to attempt to get a DSC. The man was a medic who died sving his buddies while he was painfully wounded. Bunko was in the 1st Infantry Div and the !st Cav but not the 101st.
