Our Fallen brothers and sisters of 'Nam and the rest of our wars and wars of choice are rolling over in their graves, tears are streaming down 'The Wall'!!

Judge: Law Penalizing Fake Heroes Is Unconstitutional

A law that makes it illegal to lie about being a war hero is unconstitutional because it violates free speech, a federal judge ruled Friday as he dismissed a case against a Colorado man who claimed he received two military medals.

Rick Glen Strandlof claimed he was an ex-Marine who was wounded in Iraq and received the Purple Heart and Silver Star, but the military had no record he ever served. He was charged with violating the Stolen Valor Act, which makes it a crime punishable by up to a year in jail to falsely claim to have won a military medal.

U.S. District Judge Robert Blackburn dismissed the case and said the law is unconstitutional, ruling the government did not show it has a compelling reason to restrict that type of statement. Continued

Not a Surprise

A typical wingnutter Spitting on Real Veterans by lying about not only serving but gaining high military honors for valiant service and guess who placed the judge into the position to further Spit on us, none other than one: Blackburn was nominated by President George W. Bush on September 10, 2001

While sticking this False meme of 'free speech', hell with truth and civility, even further in the gutter!!

Place this right alongside the bush base 'purple heart bandages' they not only laughed about and enjoyed so they took Pride in displaying, spitting on a brother 'Nam In-Country Navy Vet, '70-'71 last year of my four all shore duty {but hey we're used to it especially coming from what I call the nixon verbal spitters}, but any and all who've been awarded 'Purple Hearts' for their service and the injuries from while in Theater!! Heard they've still got a stock of these as their magnetic ribbons have long ago blown off their vehicles!
