Looks like the side that lost wasn’t able to make a case that this was akin to fighting words or hollering “fire” in a crowded theater where there is no fire. But enlisted personnel take this stuff seriously and it will be a major bummer to morale when any idiot can go pretending in public — as many doubtless will — that he is “the very model of a modern Major General” when he wasn’t even in the service.
What if someone says they’re a doctor when they’re not? What if someone says they were a Green Beret when they were just an enlisted man? What if someone says they’re an American Indian and receive benefits under that regard? We have someone running for the Senate who did just that and no one is prosecuting her. The Cherokee nation should haul her bony @ss into court on that.
We have too many laws...
