Jon Huntsman’s Stolen Valor Spokesdouche

Yeah, Brian Dennehy, the guy from First Blood that made us all look like lunatics on the edge. But it is okay, because he’s a big time combat veteran:

An actor, makes his dough by playing make-believe. And like most I've met, he lost track of where reality and make-believe intersect.
Fuck him and his cohort.

What really burns my behind is that even in an "apology" these guys look for empathy with this standard line from the Stolen Valor Handbook;

"Well, I told the initial lie and then didn't know how to get out of it, so I built on the lie some more" (until he got caught, of course).

How to "get out of it"? Umm. I dunno- tell the truth after the first lie?

It may be me, but it seems just a wee bit disingenuous that once they are caught all of a sudden the apologies overflowing with gratitude and remorse flow out.

Well, got me. I thought that fucker had been in Vietnam. Many years ago HBO did a pretty good documentary called "Dear America: Letters home from Vietnam" and Dennehy was the primary narrator doing the commercials.

Well, dang!

George C. Scott was another. He made a big deal about his service as a Marine in WWII. BUT, he served at HQ, USMC in Washington DC 1945 - 1949.

Yeah, Kilmer proved to be a serious douche waffle. He hasn't done anything to redeem himself in any way either.

A slow death resulting from an act of islamic terrorism would go a long way to closing the gap.

Last I saw, it's probably going to be a slow death in a diabetic coma from too much Ben & Jerry's.
