Resume Padding Around the World

Today let's look at New Zealand. Stephen Wilce, who headed the country's Defense Technology Agency, was known as "Walter Mitty" by at least one former employer. He claimed to have been a member of MI5 and MI6, a Marine veteran, to have designed nuclear weapons guidance system, and, the weirdest claim, to have been a member of the British Olympic bobsleigh team in 1988. None of these claims can be verified; they are all figments of Mr. Wilce's imagination. Yet we was considered New Zealand's chief defence scientist and held the highest security level. Go figure!
