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.

This POS was committing fraud and other assorted lies that got her/him/it personal gain.
GOOD!
Hey, show some respect. That guy’s got a campaign ribbon from the Spanish American War.
So a transgender woman is really a man.
And a transgender man is really a woman.
But in the story they called her a she. ???
We have to agree with what craziness is in their minds?
I think the best way to deal with stolen valor is to find these people, have a commander order them to the nearest front, then parachute them down behind enemy lines with a broken or wooden or a toy M-16....
They wanna play soldier... let them....
Good luck with that....Fake Soldier...
If they survive and even end up taking out a few enemies they don’t face jail time...
Sounds like a reasonable way to deal with stolen valor schmucks...
If you can assume a sex why not an occupation? In fact, I think it is speciest that we can only assume human roles. I am an A 10 Wart Hog. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp! My whole life is built around my big gun.

I wonder if they self identify as a “private” or if they decided to self identify up a few ranks...
He singlehandedly held back the Hun at Belleau Wood.
Yuck! What. Is. That?
If someone dresses up as the “command in chief of the U.S. Military” can we charge them for stolen valor?
Just wondering if Alec Baldwin is guilty of stolen valor....
Sounds like she/he started as a female and was in the process of having an addadicktome. She impersonated a male. I may be wrong. It's hard to tell these days.
"however further investigation by Guardian of Valor revealed Cipriani was Hoover’s manufactured identity and not a real person at all."
So I guess if you dress up like GI JOE for halloween you could face 20 years behind bars.
This will be thrown out by a higher court as it should be.
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.

Yes but if it is a transgender Woman it is biologically male. It could pose as a male soldier. I imagine that the reporter needed to specify the sex of the soldier.
OK, I about snorted bean dip out my nose on that one. BWAHAHA!
Can I self identify as one of George Soros’s children?
I would love to drain Daddy’s bank account into some conservative causes....
But in the story they called her a she. ???
It is PC to call a transgender woman a she even though it is biologically male.
Wow. I’ve never been in the military and even I can tell that “uniform” is a joke. If the “it” in that photo had tried to attach any more ribbons and badges would it have just flowed them over its shoulder and onto the back of the jacket?
No, there was personal and financial gain in this Stolen Valor case. Read the article.
burn it's azz...
