<p><br />
It is widely noted that the American government has a spotty record when supporting&#160;military personnel. </p><br />

&quot;Another Supreme Court Ruling. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2012%2F06%2F28%2Fjustice%2Fscotus-stolen-valor-ruling%2Findex.html%3Firef%3Dallsearch%26fb_source%3Dmessage&amp;h=3AQFh3rfG" title="Lying about military service">They have ruled that the 1st Amendment supports people who lie about serving in the&#160;military and being a medal recipient</a>. As an Army Veteran I cannot support this ruling. The 1st Amendment is very&#160;important but I think in this case it is being used and abused.&quot; <br />
