Remember John Kerry reminiscing about Genghis Khan in his lie-filled testimony to Congress? Well it seems another anti-war nut tried to pull “a Kerry” and pretend he too was involved in war crimes in Iraq:

A man who tried to position himself as a leader of the anti-war movement by claiming to have participated in war crimes while serving in Iraq is facing federal charges of falsifying his record.

Jesse Adam Macbeth, 23, formerly of Phoenix, garnered attention on blogs and in some alternative media after he began claiming in 2005 to have been awarded a Purple Heart for his service, which he said included slaughtering innocents in a Fallujah mosque. His story was contradicted by his discharge form, showing that he was kicked out of the Army after six weeks at Fort Benning, Ga., in 2003 because of his “entry level performance and conduct.”

A complaint unsealed Friday in U.S. District Court in Seattle charged him with one count of using or possessing a forged or altered military discharge certificate, and one count of making false statements in seeking benefits from the Veterans Administration.

How like Kerry. Exaggerated Purple Hearts, early depatures, and lies about atrocities. This IS the legacy of liberalism as handed down from Vietnam. And the legacy of Vietnam on the conservative side is to never undermine the troops, give them all they support they need to win, and cherish their sacrifices. That is the difference between left and right on the issue of dealing with the military.
