Jesse MacBeth goes to jail
The disgraceful anti-war activist who posed as former soldier is now going to the slammer (Hat tip: Tim Blair):
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.Anyone who impersonates a military official should be ready to face charges similar to what the awful MacBeth has now been sentenced for.
Jesse MacBeth, 23, was also sentenced to three months in a halfway house after his release and three years of probation.
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.
