IMHO, this outright treason. I hope this clown and those invloved go down hard for this...

I do believe it's a federal crime to impersonate a member of the military.

US Code
TITLE 18 PART I CHAPTER 33 § 702

Uniform of armed forces and Public Health Service

Whoever, in any place within the jurisdiction of the United States or in the Canal Zone, without authority, wears the uniform or a distinctive part thereof or anything similar to a distinctive part of the uniform of any of the armed forces of the United States, Public Health Service or any auxiliary of such, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.


TITLE 18 PART I CHAPTER 43 § 912.

Officer or employee of the United States

Whoever falsely assumes or pretends to be an officer or employee acting under the authority of the United States or any department, agency or officer thereof, and acts as such, or in such pretended character demands or obtains any money, paper, document, or thing of value, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

So lock the SOB up.

As far as it being Treason, it would seem to give aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.

According to a school paper article about his nearly fatal battle against some barristas at Arizona State, he said he flashed a military ID. That ID would, of course, be fake.

Do you think US Federal prisons have enough room for the entire editorial staff of the NYT?
