Get Your Own Valor

Apparently, under the Stolen Valor Act (18 U.S.C. Section 704) signed into law by President Bush last December, you can no longer dress up like a soldier with medals. Gotta feel bad for this guy, who became the

"first person in the nation to be prosecuted under the new law, which broadens the provisions of a federal law that only covered the Medal of Honor."

Time will tell if the government will pursue charges retroactively against valor thief George C. Scott, above, for his depiction of medal heavy General Patton in 1970.
