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.

Wearing an a fake award may be dishonorable but it's not a crime.
Transgender woman = biological male.
Whenever you see "transgender", just mentally replace the word with "fake".
“A real silver star does mean something and a fake one means nothing. You are the one that seems to have problems seeing the difference.”
It is you who fail to understand. What experience do you have that makes you feel entitled to an opinion on the subject?
“Wearing an a fake award may be dishonorable but it’s not a crime.”
So the law is wrong.
If I were on a jury trying a case of a man beating another man to death for wearing unearned medals, I would exercise jury nullification.

“Your compass is some serious messed up.”
Nope. Yours.
“Let’s agree to end this discussion.”
Experience corrects more errors than debate ever did.
Kelsie Hoover, a transgender woman
I was right.
Does it get any more jacked up than that sad sack?
“...unless this woman was committing this fraud in order to gain some kind of material benefit from it, it...”
Uh... HeSheIt was.
How does one begin to undergo surgery? Do the doctors start the surgery and stop before they're done?
I go by whatever original equipment they were born with. This is a woman posing as a man, right ?
Thanks... Got it. Amazing how many people do this. Why don’t they just join if they want to be in the military?
so this is a she thinking she is a guy, is this right? Also this sentence hopefully is a message to the other lazy turds out there who could not join up, and now pretend they are veterans , or serving military.
I wish the media would report news in a factual way, and not their agenda way.
Cross dressing man pretending , or claiming to be a woman is more accurate.
The lunatics are running the asylum as they try to force this on to society.
Agreed, as a veteran, and my oldest is a Marine, and coming form a long line of military service in this family I am happy this freak got this sentence.
What’s the charge for impersonating a police officer or an FBI agent or any government official? The same should be for someone impersonating military; they’re government as well.
If its actually 20 years, then yes.
win win for him.
in prison he will get the sex change op for free, now.
