It just seemed to me that, while fake vets cut at the very heart of what it 
means to have been a genuine vet, still it remains a fact that fakes don't 
have the monopoly on abusing the image of good military service in order to 
manipulate people. It seems to me that genuine veterans who behave badly can 
blacken the image even more than the fakes do - if only because the fakes 
are exposed as liars and cheats anyway (which the serving officer I 
mentioned will never be, because the Army has taken him back into its bosom 
and lets him continue to strut around showing off his medals just as if he 
is an impeccable pillar of decent society). Sorry, folks, to kick this horse 
to death, but this discussion thread just struck a raw nerve. Please forgive 
- you're right, some things are possibly best left private.
