A federal judge who gets Stolen Valor

36-year-old Douglas Lee Weaver of Arab, Alabama, was convicted of wearing the Silver Star, Combat Infantry Badge, and the Distinguished Service Cross to impress his future wife, according to his attorney. Weaver got an 18-month sentence in the Federal Pound-you-in-the-ass-prison. The prosecutor in the case said;

“Members of the U.S. military who earn recognition on the battlefield do so through sacrifice and dedication to their country,” U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance said in a statement after Weaver’s sentencing. “Anyone who cheapens that service by claiming military honor and decoration that he or she did not earn, is committing a criminal act and deserves time in prison.”

27-year-old Skyler Tarquin Smith of Huntsville, AL was sentenced to two years in prison in another Alabama case earlier this month. Smith lied about two Purple Hearts he wore.
