To make matters worse, the Federal "Stolen Valor Act" (made it a crime to claim service, medals, etc that were not earned - and was named for the book mentioned earlier) has been declared unconstitutional by one of the Federal Appeals Courts. Their reasoning...it is a Freedom of Speech issue. There are a number of steps in the appeals process before (or if) this goes to our Supreme Court, but the outlook is somewhat grim. Falsely claiming military service, in any era, is an obscenity that should subject these jerks to public exposure and criminal consequences.
