Re: [Full-disclosure] OT - Check this out - Full disclosure is apt for this

A link to your own blog is not support for your argument.  That's
called circular reasoning.

In addition, if you had bothered to do a little research, you would
have noticed *huge* discrepancies.

Try here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Macbeth


The unit he claimed he was in, was not deployed where he said it was.

His flash (patches, unit designations) on his uniform are either put
on incorrectly, not used by the division he claims to be in, and/or no
longer used by the military.

His uniform is wildly... well, inconsistent is the best word here.

Some of the awards and citations he claims to have received would be
impossible to earn in the time he was active.

Really, I am constantly amazed by the lack of critical thinking people
exhibit these days.  It doesn't take long to find actual citations to
back up a position.  A loon talking in a video is *not* a credible
source.  Unfortunately, people want to believe something that backs
their own opinions so much that they will take unsubstantiated stories
as truth and use that as evidence.  Of course when someone points out
that "evidence" is fraud and fake...  Well, at best the person gets
ignored, at worst a tool of the vast neo-con conspiracy.  (Seriously,
given the governments track record at keeping things secret... a
"vast" conspiracy is ridiculous at best)

Hoax and fraud does nothing but weaken one's position regardless of
that position's overall merits.
