The Armorer http://www.thedonovan.com The Pit, it Burnses us it does!

Remember our discussion of Hosers or Poseurs?  And Bill's comments therein about Rick Strandlof/Duncan?  From the Marine Corps Times article about charges finally being filed...
Online discussions
The case frustrated veterans across the country, and spawned spirited discussion in veterans communities online. A Sept. 23 entry on the American Legion’s Burn Pit blog, questioning why he has not been charged, generated more than 120 comments, and at least a dozen bloggers took up the issue afterward.

The blogs, still providing news for the MSM.

Moving along over to Greyhawk's place and a discussion of the Defense Budget. [Full disclosure - I'm a beltway bandit who's task just got funded for another year, I assure you it's stunningly useful work.  Really. Honest.]

Greyhawk sez:
In: Video scrapbooks from combat tours, billions in other unasked for toys
Out: $900 million for training the Afghan forces

It's a topic on the VietVet fora, too. It seems the US Attorney for Colorado doesn't consider prosecuting violators of the Stolen Valor Act as a part of his job description. It's also a federal offense to impersonate a military officer with intent to deceive, and he also chooses not to prosecute under *that* statute.

Wonder what *other* federal laws he specifically chooses to *not* uphold?
