These guys deserve the smack of the backhand in public.<br /><br />Waging lawfare is for a word I won't spell out but it most definitely not start with an n. I'm just a tad conscious of the limits of free speech on a place where I freely agreed to abide by the rules.<br /><br />If I was some sort of lame ass I could describe myself as an Iraqi War veteran. I won't be alive to do it since I reserve that sort of veteran language for the guys that actually fought in Iraq. Was I an active duty warfighting son of a gun during the Iraq War-sure. Still, not a title I feel entitled to and would never use to describe myself. As I see it, from old, one wasn't a Vietnam War Vet unless one fought there, over there, near there, supported there with direct into Vietnam/close by areas and the veterans who waged that war from the states.....not Vietnam Vets. ditto with Iraq and AF.

Ditto for those crapweasels who claim to be Secret Squirrel operators, POWs, veterns, etc. I just don't feel comfortable when the government starts to say what I can and can't say.<br /><br />I am re-reading the PDF of the ruling and from my untrained mind it appears that the judge is basically saying that the rules are all over the place with regards to the freedom of speech portion of the 1st Amendment. Second of all the judge rules that the law itself seems to be poorly written and outlaws lying. Which the judge says is not an illegal act upon its self. Lying only becomes a criminal incident when that lying leads to other criminal acts, such as fraud, theft, etc. The judge also references various flag burning laws that came into vouge for a while, where ultimately SCOTUS ruled that those laws were unconstitutional based on the fact that it is ultimately a symbol in the same vein as a copy of the various federal/state/local departmental seals, copies of various important documents (decleration of independance, us constitution, etc), state flags. How would we, via the government, rule that that those symbols are more important then others?<br />The judge also seems to say that the medals are not an overwhelming reason that most people join the military and the first thought out of thier heads while in combat or a emergancy condition is the award they are going to get. So in reality, they are not that big of a symbol as those on the outside percive.<br /><br />Taking a bigger look at this all, though I really think the larger issue of stolen valor is a failing on our national intrests part. We use to celebrate the likes of guys such as the 442 INF, Audie Murphy, Butch O'Hare, etc. Now a days Hollywood, MSM, even some of the tell all books (like R. Marchinko IMHO) seem to paint some guys heroes cause they earn some warfare pin. The true heroes aren't celebrated like they use to be. The larger number of those servicemembers who are awarded anything more important then a DFC, Navy Comm, Air Medal; just aren't out there. I don't know where to start looking but really how many MoH's to living recipents are out there, How many current Navy/AF Crosses recipents are out there, how many know that the Bronze Star is given primarly in the US Army to those just for showing up to a combat zone and drawing fire? Maybe Congress needs to ask the SecDef and the Service Sec's to look at the awards manuals to look for revisions and corrections on how we issue awards. Maybe we should look at how some of our allies only give away awards that really mean something instead of for "just showing up to work" type that we nearly always see about once a quarter for those folks getting ready to transfer.Southern Air Piratenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-29663488069282073332010-07-17T00:39:08.000-04:002010-07-17T00:39:08.000-04:00Then you'd better fire up the court system to ...Then you'd better fire up the court system to go after Tom Hanks - he wore the Medal in Forrest Gump.

BUT we can make it illegal in a way that doesn't screw around with the Constitution.<br /><br />You signed on the dotted line to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. So did I. That law, while well-intentioned, was contrary to the Constitution. It will, hopefully, be re-written in such a way that it is not contrary.

I don't think either should ever be done. I've come to accept that the government will not provide the proper remedy for either based on rulings from morons wearing black robes. I can grudgingly accept the slippery slope argument for not wanting the government to decide what "speech" is acceptable or not. Maybe both of these are instances where private citizens should take action rather than the government. If someone is using free speech to burn a flag we can express ourselves by beating him to a pulp. If someome is expressing themselves by falslely claiming to be a Medal of Honor recipient (Like a mayor in Illinois recently) he also meets our free speech repeatedly and violently.Largebillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-19802919429140246822010-07-16T22:52:27.000-04:002010-07-16T22:52:27.000-04:00Hold on folks.

I for one agree with him there. Basically the idea behind the law is good, but when we start to trample on our constitutional rights to achieve these goals, the we are have lost more freedoms. I feel the same way about the campaign finance reform laws and just about anything else that restricts the freedom of speech in general. That is one of the primary things that I love about this country is how anybody can stand on a soap box on the street corner and just ramble on about whatever they want. They don't need to worry about the government coming in breaking them up and throwing them in to the box.<br />That being said we should take a further look at the law and see if it could be better written to strike at those we feel are stealing from the true veterns vs starting the restriction of speech.Southern Air Piratenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-15260893357397933712010-07-16T21:48:49.000-04:002010-07-16T21:48:49.000-04:00I could be wrong, but I think the law that prohibi...I could be wrong, but I think the law that prohibits impersonating an officer requires the impersonator to attempt to exercise the authority of the office he or she is pretending to hold.
