    Well, the last guy who tried that is sitting in the White House so they don't get weeded out that quick.

    It's probably OK that it wasn't made into law that way the web site keeps outing these fucks, along with photos, names and addresses.

    Even if I weren't in the Army, I'd think it was a disservice to those who have and are currently serving to go around claiming you're a veteran or that you got this or that award. To me, it's no different than fraud. Just my opinion.....

    I don't thnk anyone woud argue it's acceptable to lie about military service. There is a difference being lying and fraud in legal circles.

    I can see what you mean. But I do think there needs to be some sort of punishment.

    There are plenty of ways to punish someone in society without needing the court system involved.

    Should a guy be thrown n jail for telling lies on a date to get a girl to sleep with him? Should a 6 be put in jail for trying to make herself a 9?
