It's hard to believe anyone would make up a story about a (non-existent) relative being killed in Iraq. It shows complete disrespect for the famililes who HAVE lost loved ones, and it absolutely p*sses me off.

Nonprofit group detected lies to late

This woman is obviously has some issues that need to be resolved, but anyone who makes something like this up gets nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT from me.

This happens a lot in cases like this. Just a few weeks ago in SC, we had a train wreck with a large chlorine leak. A large portion of the town was evacuated and the railroad company monetarily reimbursed the the evacuees. Well, wouldn't you know it, some jerks decided to change their address on their drivers license so it looked like they lived in the area so they could get money. What nerve!!

there are people that call in and want discounts or commitment fees
waived, or just out and out free stuff

MY husband/wife/daughter/self is going to Iraq What are you going to give me..

sometimes it is easy to spot the fakes.
either they don't live near a base.. ( I ask Oh what base are they stationed at?)
they are going for a "couple of months"
They claim they are in the Coast Guard..

I did not know the Coasties had a deployment on..

Anyone know if a specific crime was commited here? For doing something this assinine, I think this woman should be locked up for quite a long time.....but I'm afraid nothing will happen to her since she apparantly did not receive any financial gain from this.

Yes. They are currently figuring out how to charge her. At minimum, it is some kind of fraud and impersonation.

I hope they throw the book at her with any charges that may be available.....than put her in a mental institution for as long as possible...this person has some serious problems!

Actually, some elements of the Coast Guard are deployed.....

I wish those people would sit and think for a few minutes about why they have the freedom to display something as disrespectful and disgusting as that.....

Although definitely not something I enjoy seeing - I served, and would do so again, to give people the right to do it. Please remember that to most veterans (or at least those I served with), seeing images like this or a burning flag, or even anti-war demonstrations are not something we like or agree with, but it is why we serve(d).

Yep, it's our sacrifices protect these people's First Amendment rights, but it damned sure doesn't mean I have to like it.

I agree POL - which is why I voted on that site for supporting their "right" to do it but not agreeing with what they did. There are just some instances when peoples brains just do not engage. It's bad enough that my vietnam vet husband (and numerous other friends and family) came home to crap like that - I don't want my keet coming home to that!!

I myself would be doing a little "midnight stroll" if that appeared in my town - especially if our B&G's were coming home to it. Let's hope that the communities out their take care of issues like this before they see it. Distasteful, but part of why I love America. A big salute to your Keet from me!
