"America&amp;#039;s Got Talent contestant Sgt Timothy Poe could be edited out of the show&amp;#039;s Las Vegas round over claims that he faked a combat injury. Poe was passed through the first round of America&amp;#039;s Got Talent when he impressed judges with his performance of &amp;#039;If Tomorrow Never Comes&amp;#039; and his heart-wrenching story of developing a stutter because of a combat injury in Afghanistan.  Doubts were soon cast on his story when a spokesperson for the Minnesota Army National Guard clarified that &amp;quot;military records do not indicate that he was injured by a grenade in combat while serving in Afghanistan&amp;quot;.  Poe&amp;#039;s claim that he served a total of 14 years in the army was also disputed, with military officials saying that he was actually enlisted for just under nine years. An America&amp;#039;s Got Talent production source has now confirmed to TMZ that there will &amp;quot;definitely be edits&amp;quot; to footage of Poe from the Las Vegas round. The AGT insider also acknowledged that they broadcast a picture Poe gave them which purportedly showed him in combat action without questioning the veracity of the photo. It now appears that Poe is not actually present in that photograph.   America&amp;#039;s Got Talent judge Howie Mandel also weighed in on the matter by admitting that he &amp;quot;was totally taken in&amp;quot; by Poe&amp;#039;s story. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m really angry with the guy,&amp;quot; Mandel further commented. Mandel went on to express his belief that Poe should face judgment from the public rather than be disqualified from America&amp;#039;s Got Talent. America&amp;#039;s Got Talent continues Monday at 8/7c on NBC. Watch Sgt Timothy Poe&amp;#039;s audition below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
