He seemed very emotionally distressed about his experiences," said Amadee Braxton, a spokeswoman for Iraq Veterans Against the War

I thought he seemed like a bad liar. I guess we all see what we want to see. The only difference is, I was right.

Jesse Adam Macbeth, 23, formerly of Phoenix, garnered attention on blogs and in some alternative media after he began claiming in 2005 to have been awarded a Purple Heart for his service, which he said included slaughtering innocents in a Fallujah mosque. His story was contradicted by his discharge form, showing that he was kicked out of the Army after six weeks at Fort Benning, Ga., in 2003 because of his "entry level performance and conduct."

Shades of John F. Kerry.

Well, that’s one liar down. Now, can we work on prosecuting a good percentage of our Congress? You want liars and frauds, well, Congress would be the jackpot.

He should be charged with treason. Seriously.

One consistent trait of the left is that it’s never put off by anyone telling the right kind of lies, whether it’s Bill Clinton, Dan Rather or Michael Moore. Deep down they all realize that the truth is not their friend.

Macbeth admitted falsifying the documents because he was homeless and wanted to "sucker" anything he could out of the government.

No intent to hijack the thread: The statement above could be true of all the illegals and we are about to bend over because our politicians want a warm fuzzy.

Macbeth claimed in an application for benefits to have served from May 2001 to June 2004, to have been shot in Iraq and to have suffered post-traumatic stress disorder, . . . He also collected more than $10,400 in benefits to which he was not entitled . . .

Did he also falsify his medical records?

If hoodwinking the VA is this easy, maybe the paper chase to file for my Non Hodgkins Lymphoma (Agent Orange) compensation isn't so tough either. Whoops. Screwed up. I'm in remission. Too late.

But.... but..... but... It was seared, SEARED into his memory!

I hope they prosecute this dirt bag to the fullest extent possible.

The moonbats will just claim that the government is framing him to shut him up. It just proves the Bush adminstration is covering up.

Give me a break. This guy was just preparing for his career in the Democrat party. Thank you John Kerry.

It’s the seriousness of the charges, not mere technicalities, like veracity, that we should consider.

"He approached us in early 2006, posing as a war veteran. He seemed very emotionally distressed about his experiences," said Amadee Braxton, a spokeswoman for Iraq Veterans Against the War, based in Philadelphia.

Sucker.

Sounds like this “soldier” really does have Personality Problems...
