Orrin Hatch wants to jail/fine those that "make false statements regarding participation in combat."

[Are_grits_groceries]

Infamous singing Senator from Utah, Orrin Hatch, is fed up with people pretending to be heroes (He's looking at you, Richard Blumenthal), and so he is attempting to make a change to the 2005 Stolen Honor Act, which criminalized false claims of military service. Hatch says:

My amendment would add to this existing statute, making false statements regarding participation in combat operations. It appears to me that individuals make these false claims in order to obtain honorariums, employment, elected office or other positions of authority. If convicted of this misdemeanor offense, the perpetrator could face 6 months in jail and/or a fine. This is the same penalty for falsely obtaining and wearing awards or medals.

1. True.

2. George W. Bush and the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, George W. Bush was photographed wearing a ribbon he clearly did not earn.
