A woman who was exposed for posing as a U.S. Army Lieutenant by Guardian of Valor in 2015 was just sentenced to prison by a Nevada judge last week. Kelsie Hoover, a transgender woman who began to undergo gender reassignment surgery a few years ago, was caught posing as a male U.S. soldier at Baltimore Washington Airport named “Michael Cipriani.” Following Guardian of Valor’s video being posted, Hoover was arrested in Oregon and extradited back to Nevada to face charges. Hoover went through trial and was sentenced to up to 20 years in prison.
American Military News spoke to Anthony Anderson, the CEO of Guardian of Valor. Anderson said the District Attorney’s office that dealt with Hoover’s case congratulated them on their work, saying it was their extraordinary investigating that was able to get Hoover sentenced.
“I’m glad that people are starting to take Guardian of Valor seriously,” Anderson told American Military News. “This is big for us.”
“Look at what this girl did,” he continued. “She got 20 years, this is not something you play with.”
A veteran spotted “Cipriani” at the airport and began filming as he called out the fake Lieutenant. The vet sent the video to Guardian of Valor and they conducted a thorough investigation. At first, Kelsie Hoover admitted to using her brother’s ID to pretend to be a male soldier, however further investigation by Guardian of Valor revealed Cipriani was Hoover’s manufactured identity and not a real person at all.

Does a 7-20 year prison sentence fit the crime?
Absolutely, and hopefully this will discourage other Stolen Valor A-Holes.
At the end of the links video, there are other Stolen Valor videos.
It's outrageous and incredible how, when confronted, these phonies continue the lie and make complete liars and asses of themselves.
Ping
Good.
Heh, Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch made it so that this mentally sick (whatever) could have actually joined.
And, rest assured, superiors would have been petrified at giving it (yes, it) any other than top efficiency reports.
20 years in prison. She can retire!
Transgender woman
That means it is a biological man.
Right?
Yes, but in this day and age, it's subject to change :-)
Good.
Just to be safe.
Active Duty ping.
When asked what unit she was with, she said, “lots... and two last night.”
Deceit, FAKES, frauds. The calling cards of criminals. What does Liz Warren say?
R.I.H. POS SCUM.
No, she is a woman “posing as a male U.S. soldier.” She looks very small to be a male soldier, so this should have raised suspicions.
Lock up the brother, too for “losing” his CAC.
I thought stolen valor was no longer a crime?
I know a guy on the internet that has pretended to be a decorated Marine, and he says awful things about the USA and is a muslim sympathizer, lies about being in the m/e etc.
Worse yet, when I called him out, the internet site had me banned... for “stolen valor bullshit”
This is so confusing.
Looks Legit. (Snicker...)
Prejudice? You are assuming the chosen personal pronoun. This is very, very bad.
