Fake veteran goes to prison
It’s been a hell of a week, and I’ve been out of commission with computer problems through it all. Oh well, life’s a bitch. To get back into the swing of things, let’s first talk about this numb nuts - Jessie MacBeth.
A former star of the anti-war movement, MacBeth claimed to be an OIF veteran - a U.S. Army ranger no less - who had killed over 200 Iraqis in cold blood during his tour in Iraq. Never mind that this little worm’s real experience in the Army consisted of only 44 days of basic training before he was kicked out of the army for behavior problems.
A Tacoma man who falsely claimed he was a decorated war hero when he took the stage at demonstrations held in opposition to the U.S.’s role in Iraq was sentenced this morning to five months in prison in U.S. District Court in Seattle.
Jesse MacBeth, 23, was also sentenced to three months in a halfway house after his release and three years of probation.

Conservative bloggers exposed MacBeth in May 2006, destroying his credibility and embarrassing the Seattle company that produced the video about his exploits.
On June 7, MacBeth pleaded guilty to one count of making false statements to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. MacBeth admitted that he filed a bogus claim for VA benefits in 2005, which included a fraudulent military-discharge form.
MacBeth said on the forms that he had been in the Army for more than three years and had achieved the rank of corporal. He also claimed he had been awarded a Purple Heart and that he was discharged because he suffered from post-traumatic-stress disorder.
MacBeth is being convicted of telling lies about his service to the VA to obtain benefits. That’s all well and good, but it’s just too bad there’s not a law against speaking slander against the real heroes in this conflict, who are out there on the front lines taking down terrorists keeping liberal liars like MacBeth warm and comfy in their beds at night.
It would be such a shame if some of his fellow prisoners decided that sweet-faced little liar needed a jail-house make-over. I’m thinking he’d make some other prisoner a great wife…
