Prison time ordered for soldier who faked valor ribbons

Post by Chiron »

An Army reserve major who pleaded guilty to the unauthorized wearing of military medals has been sentenced to five months in prison and ordered to pay $9,300 in restitution.

U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball imposed the sentence Tuesday on Anthony Angelo Calderone.

Prosecutors said Calderone - a member of the 2nd Battalion, 414th Regiment, 104th Division headquartered at Ft. Douglas - consistently wore tabs, badges and decorations he never earned.

What would be really cool is if he also got fake gang tatoos so he can get his fake ass kicked by some not-so-fake vatos.
