I'm in favor of the Stolen Valor Act, but it needs to be differentiated from simple fraud, which is where I think a lot of people make their arguments against it. Fraud normally has to be perpetrated in order to obtain something of (usually monetary) value, and some dumbass running around with a CIB, MOH, or SF tab can simply claim he wasn't trying to profit from it. The problem as I see it, is that not all things of value can be expressed in monetary terms...i.e. honor and valor. That this law has been struck down (by this judge, anyways) is a simple indicator that our society no longer places value on these things as it once did.
The “value” was a donation in kind.....he represented himslef as a decorated member of the armed forces...then used that persona to attack a political target from a position of “moral authority” IE: a “decorated veteran”...
this is just another case of the libtatrds twisting anything they can....
You can now be imprisoned for daring to write your representaive a letter...if you are NOT a libtard....
And yet you can LIE LIE LIE and they think it’s free speech....so long as you ARE a libtard...
It’s animal farm on a grand scale....
We’re all equal...some are just a little more equal...
It’s days like these that I actually look forward to a mad max world....
