You have to deliver 120 Liters of Prop Wash to NHQ before you can post again?

ON topic, I've now read the full story and opinion.

While this was reversed, the genius in question did some extra silly things like apperantly forging a DD-214.  :o

He may not be punished for wearing medals not earned, but he certainly was for that one.

On topic. I am really upset by this ruling. It feels as if the Court has no respect for the Decorations or to the men and women that have earned them.

That's where you are misreading this. They're saying that you can't phony up for personal gain. Wanna wear grandpa's Spanish American War medals and say that San Juan Hill isn't over? Do it, but don't try to scam a free cuppa from Starbucks or use it to get a woman to date you. John Lennon used to wear a utility shirt with the 2ID SSI on it. Did that take away from the prestige of the division?

Think of it this way... It isn't that they disrespect those things... it is that they respect the Constitution (that our soldiers have sworn to defend) at a higher level than the decorations in question.

Our judges have a healthy respect of the law, the people who serve it, and the people whom the law is supposed to serve. Unfortunately, this is a case of a well intentioned law that went too far. A law which they mention was amended by congress, but this guy was convicted under the old law, so the old law had to be tried in court.

My personal opinion is that those who fought and won will out the ones that pretended to charge to Baghdad, and take care of it from there. For the rest of us...well, as long as we don't look like this feller, I think we're OK.

It's good to be king.  Public threats of discipline?  Interesting and classy approach. 

Would our friend be comfortable sending a letter to Boorda's two kids and three grandkids, all of which served in the armed forces, suggesting that their father's suicide was honorable?  I can provide an address to our friend.

Words have consequences.  I call somebody out for their inaccurate, insensitive, and  disrespectful post and I'm the bull in the china shop?

Carry on.
