The Stolen Valor Act of 2005 (the Act), signed into law by former President George W. Bush on Dec. 20, 2006,[1] is a U.S. law that broadens the provisions of previous U.S. law addressing the unauthorized wear, manufacture, sale or claim (either written or oral) of any military decorations and medals. It is a federal misdemeanor offense, which carries a punishment of imprisonment for no more than 1 year and/or a fine; the scope previously covered only the Medal of Honor.

As much as I'd like to see this SOB nailed, I think they excluded simply lying for John Kerry and Tom Harkin. I think it only covers lying about medals.

Anyone know if he did? I think lying about being in combat missions would infer that you have commendations that you would not. Maybe they can nail his sorry ass anyway.

If he said he “served” in Viet Nam then he’s saying he earned a medal and a ribbon.

But, with that said, no democrat politician gets prosecuted anymore unless he’s not only caught taking bribes but he also must admit it. If he’s only caught (murtha) he gets a pass. Or if he goes against the party (trafficant).

Republicans is a different story.

Bottom line is most of these people would have been shot if they’d served under Washington. Hell, maybe even under Truman.

I wonder what McCain thinks of this guy. Never mind.
