Actually jail sentence to be precise since it's only a meager 5 months for liberal dream soldier, for an anti-war darling in camouflage.... Jesse MacBeth. That fraud who our conservative wing's A-list of bloggers ripped apart in mere days when his story hit the loony left blogosphere running full speed a while back. (a list=Michelle Malkin, Black Five, Captain Ed, LGF, etc etc)
To me it's quite sad that this despicable behavior warrants a sentence this light, as people such as he might be willing to take the risk of impersonating a soldier for the reward they get on the left I think. Especially when the see how the liberals fawn and drool over the very very few authentic anti war veterans that do surface from time to time.
They the impersonators know they will be as close to "Gods" as liberals get in that circle for a at least a couple months, just like this MacBeth character was. In fact after he was exposed another clown appeared on the scene uninhibited by MacBeth's unraveling, a schleprock that pulled the same thing named Scott Thomas.
His charade began with a letter sent in to the New Republic and gathered a life of it's own, also immediately challenged as a fraud by the blogs. Here's their lame explanation of that scene.
The liberals and their water carrying media fall for that stuff hook line and sinker time and time again in their quest to seek out these valuable anti war soldiers to exploit for all they're worth, and will just about accept anything that they hear as fact without challenging it. Cindy Sheehan is another fine and prime example of that strange phenomenon.
They all wanna be the next John Kerry, a wonderful precedent he set to aspire to didn't he.
Fake veteran gets 5-month sentence
Seattle Post Intelliger"Jesse MacBeth never was an Army Ranger, much less a corporal, never received a Purple Heart for wounds inflicted by a foreign foe, and neither saw nor participated in war crimes with fellow U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, claims for which he became a poster boy for the anti-war movement. So, there was likely no way the 23-year-old Tacoma man suffered post-traumatic stress disorder from the horrors of war and other injuries. MacBeth was sentenced Friday to five months in jail and three years' probation for falsifying a Department of Veterans Affairs claim and an Army discharge record."At a sentencing hearing before U.S. District Court Judge Robert Lasnik on Friday, MacBeth's federal public defender, Jay Stansell, said that if MacBeth didn't have PTSD from a war, he had mental health problems and grew up in a harsh environment, homeless on the streets, surviving by seizing whatever angle or positive feedback he could get.
"I know he lived a war as a child," Stansell said. continued
Well boo frigging hoo .... :(
Many many people grow up with similar if not even more difficult circumstances and don't end up like this guy and other sociopaths (what we used to call them by the way.
The feel good left and the complicit MSM paints this behavior now as acceptable and normal because of this boo hoo, woe is he she or me background. No sympathy here , sorry.
Meanwhile the "take no responsibility" culture continues to grow.
