The Army Times reported on a Citizen Soldier who has saved the US taxpayer millions of fraudulent charges in Afghanistan.

George Toubekis is the mayor of University Park, Iowa. He’s also a member of the Iowa Army National Guard – a Sergeant First Class.
Last year, he was deployed to Afghanistan. He was stationed at Camp Marmal, in Mazar-i-Sharif. While there, he was assigned duties as Fuels Manager for Regional Command – North.
SFC Toubekis found some issues involving theft of fuel. So he took appropriate action.
An investigation resulted in the identification of multiple fuel-theft rings. He’s now credited with preventing the theft of up to $20 million worth of fuel – so far. The tally will likely climb for a while.
Some of the fuel and money was going right into the pockets of Al-Quadia and the Taliban to support their operations against the US.
Hats off to a Citizen Soldier who did not just rubber stamp documents but wanted to make sure everything was done right.
