Un****ingbelievable, seriously this is a slap in the face to anyone who served with honor, because of these assclowns in the 9th circuit now everyone can be a Medal of Honor recipient apparently.
I haven't served personally but have plenty of family and friends who did with honor, everyone should be offended by this defense of unprotected speech by the most idiotic court in the land and these judges should be removed for gross incompetance. This is disgusting.

The decision involves the case of Xavier Alvarez of Pomona, Calif., a water district board member who said at a public meeting in 2007 that he was a retired Marine who received the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military decoration.
He pleaded guilty on condition that he be allowed to appeal on First Amendment grounds. He was sentenced under the Stolen Valor Act to more than 400 hours of community service at a veterans hospital and fined $5,000.

Seriously?!?!?!? Really!!!!!? Fraud, perjury, and other untruths that embellish a record and taint the service of those who EARNED a medal harm NO ONE? REALLY?The majority said there's no evidence that such lies harm anybody, and there's no compelling reason for the government to ban such lies.
