It doesn’t happen very often anymore but every now and then, the American people are allowed to win one.

I say let them claim what they want, but those found to be false have to spend a night in a barracks in Afghanistan.

So now lying is illegal? I guess that means every politician in the country should be immediately imprisoned. Add every public official for every government agency to that as well.

“Stolen Valor” by BG Burkett is a must read book for those who need to see how the media manipulates a narrative to suit their purposes. Since so many Journolist types are openly opposed to the military, it is in their best interest to play up every PTSD vet. Sadly, every time some loser lies and gets away with it, a real veteran, with real symptoms, gets ignored and the Military gets another black eye.

It is not “free speech” to lie about something in order to make a profit. (ie - a salesman is not protected if he tells you that the car you are looking at has never been wrecked when the title shows otherwise.) Claiming military medals does benefit the liar with an enhanced reputation that may afford them benefits or opportunities not otherwise available, so it should NOT be protected speech. I certainly hope SCOTUS gets this one right!

I wish these lying ‘RAT bass turds would pose as laid off union workers instead of always posing as veterans. Bass turds like this guy give veterans a bad name.

Hopefully, the SC decides better and overturns this decision; they’ve surprisingly been making a few good decisions lately. That last thing we need is to introduce the notion that the legal system can start going after people for lying.
