Man faked being a veteran to get rich off of gullible antiwar movement.

They said he has been featured in some anti-war campaigns, so it wouldn't surprise me. Plus, I'm not sure how much hard-core research Moore did into the subjects of the documentary; if someone came forward as a veteran criticizing the war, he probably had the camera ready, no questions asked.

I may be feeling kind of crazy right now when I say this, but I almost feel bad for the guy for being such a complete loser.

He has absolutely nothing going for him in life, and it looks like he never had and never will.

I wish that the military could disclose his discharge details so I could know if they kicked him out for being crazy or for being physically injured in basic training. I'm just curious exact what happened there.

I am not defending his actions by any stretch, and he's not really making himself more sympathetic by getting jailed for what looks like domestic assault, I guess. But could he be any more of a zero on any measure of being a worthwhile human being? And for that, I may feel some pity. I wish I could muster up some feelings of Christian charity.
