How about if a vet throws his medals over the white house fence (a la Kerry)...?

Hey,I was a SP5 who got a Good Conduct Medal (and nothing more) but I have trouble with this.When you claim to have won the Medal of Honor in an attempt to get a job or to gain in some other financial way then they should throw the book at you.
But if you're just bragging to your buddies at the bar,or even at your American Legion post I have trouble with such bragging getting you a year in the slammer.
Go ahead....flame away.But I see this as being the conservative answer to "hate crimes".

Sorry...meant as a joke...I kinda figured that it was a joke.That's why I answered in a rather lighthearted way.I guess I should have included a smiley face.

I am certain that Murtha will put this high on his things to do list when he gets the new job. Not!

When I was in the Army, I got three Army Achievement Medals (and the assorted Good Conduct, Overseas Service, and something else), but when doing the paper work upon leaving, my final orders said that I'd only gotten two. I was getting out on a Friday afternoon. The "fix" suggested was to come back on Monday and get the paperwork corrected.
Nope. My official orders still say I have only two. ;-)

As for me,my military "career" was decidedly ordinary.No heroism or cowardice.No Article 15's...nothin'.I followed orders (well,most of them at least) and kept my mouth shut.That,combined with the fact that I was never ordered overseas meant that my Class A's were very uncluttered by medals,overseas stripes,Purple Hearts or anything else.

Hmmm... Sure, claiming medals that were not actually awarded is a pretty lowlife thing to do, but I'm not sure it needs to be against the law.

If you asy you are a cop, and you are not, anywhere, anytime, it is illegal.
Folks who claim medals they did not win should face mandatory jail time. One year, minimum.
Especially because they are mostly liberals.
