Awful case of deceit and fraud, nothing is sacred anymore but these scam artists are barely given any stiff sentance and usually get off scott free.

Hurley, read the title again, clearly does not implicate the Us Army in a y was is actually completely clear in its depiction of the content of the article

This headline is misleading as the US Army had nothing to do with this lad's situation!!! Semper Fi
