Scumbags making up stories like this diminsh those of us who did get the honor of serving America.

I agree completely. If you did serve, and you wish to speak out against war or anything else, I would have no problem with that. I may debate your message or conclusions, but I would defend your platform to speak.

What bothers me is people who pretend to have served (or greatly embellish their record) to lend credibility to their activism, or people who did serve, but then lied about their experiences after for personal or political gain. I almost think it should be a crime to do these things (kind of like impersonating an officer). Or maybe it already is, but no one has the balls to enforce it.
