How bad was the lie and why is the main article posting a picture from the Cool Runnings film?
The top military scientists lied on his resume, which claimed he knew Jamaica's Cool Running team and raced against them as an Olympic bobsledder while also stating he was an ex-Marine. Though possibly the reason he resigned was because he falsely claimed he was a nuclear weapons designer for Britains Polaris missiles.
"Mr Wilce headed Defence Technology Agency (DTA) for five years but 60 Minutes alleged he had padded his resume with false claims about his qualifications and past achievements.
They included being a combat veteran in Britain's Royal Marines and a member of the British bobsleigh team at the 1988 Calgary Olympics and competing against Jamaica, which inspired hit the 1993 movie Cool Runnings."-news au
