Jesse Adam Macbeth charged with Falsifying Record
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18748026
"Jesse Adam Macbeth, 23, formerly of Phoenix, garnered attention on blogs and in some alternative media after he began claiming in 2005 to have been awarded a Purple Heart for his service, which he said included slaughtering innocents in a Fallujah mosque. His story was contradicted by his discharge form, showing that he was kicked out of the Army after six weeks at Fort Benning, Ga., in 2003 because of his “entry level performance and conduct.”
A complaint unsealed Friday in U.S. District Court in Seattle charged him with one count of using or possessing a forged or altered military discharge certificate, and one count of making false statements in seeking benefits." It goes to show you what people will do to get ahead and compensate for their inadequacies. I hope he gets the book thrown at him. What do you think? Email me or post your comments to this blog.
