\"Kacie<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Nathan sends us a link to the story<\/a> out of St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana of Kacie Breen and her husband, obstetrician Wayne Breen. Ms. Breen ventilated her husband with a handgun when he choked her. Her side of the story of the March 1st events goes like this;<\/p>\n

Wayne Breen was furious, his hand pressed against his wife Kacie\u2019s throat, her back flush against her SUV in the couple\u2019s garage. His rage, which she had seen many times before, was volcanic. So, at least, Kacie Breen says.<\/p>\n

Moments before, he had vowed that he would never let her leave, especially not with the couple\u2019s 7-year-old son.<\/p>\n

Fighting for breath and fearing for her life, she says, she reached down in the car door pocket, where she kept a 9mm pistol for protection. She raised it and fired. He jumped back before lunging at her anew.<\/p>\n

She fired again. This time, Wayne Breen dropped to the ground, where his life ebbed out of him as his wife administered CPR and frantically urged first responders to hurry.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to Kacie Breen, the reason he was so angry was because she knew the truth<\/a> about the lies he had been telling about his military career, and if the truth got out, Wayne Breen would lose standing in his community as a result. <\/p>\n

The spark that set her husband off March 1, according to the filing, was his admission that for years he had lied about having served in the Vietnam war. Breen admitted to his wife that, despite earlier claims, he had never served in combat in Vietnam, an experience he previously claimed had resulted in post-traumatic stress disorder.<\/p>\n

Wayne Breen \u201cfeared that (Kacie Breen\u2019s) knowledge of his charade would leak out, and that she would end the marriage and fight for their son\u2019s custody and protection,\u201d Ducote says in the filing.<\/p>\n

Such an admission could lead to an \u201cunraveling\u201d of Wayne Breen\u2019s personal and professional life, something he could not allow, the filing says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She found that he had fathered a child out-of-wedlock and as a result began to mistrust him and had him sign a SF-180 to request his military records from the National Personnel Records Center.<\/p>\n

But, you know, Stolen Valor is a victimless crime. By the way, for all of you budding valor thieves, a lot of our tips come from ex-wives – so if you have one (and chances are that you do), you really shouldn’t pretend about your military service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
