I'm sure you and I have run across each other on such threads. I'm one that claims that it's a 1st amendment issue and a fraud issue, if used to claim value.

One thing the Stupid Supremes didn't do is say I can't point and laugh and make fun of and advertise those that steal valor from the brave guys that earned those medals.

We just have to catch them and make their life miserable.

I was a cook, last enlistment, spooky first time around. That's it. I have a chest full of ribbons, but 2 of them are staying enlisted and not getting arrested ribbons (Good Conduct).

The value of military honors has been diminshing over the years.

As far as I know, this guy didn't claim anything of (monetary) value...

Jesse Macbeth

...but his mere lying about his military deeds and achievments stoked the antiwar movement and jeopardized real Rangers and other soldiers.

The only reason his subsequent lies had any credibility is because of his claims to certain military achievments.

IMHO, the lies he used to gain entrée to the media and to become the darling of the anti-war crowd should, in and of themselves, be prosecutable.
