If the facts are as appears, Burton would not be eligible for serving in any branch of the military. Just my opinion as a former USAF'er. I would be happy to see Burton end up in Federal Prison, as I am sure that his soon-to-be very close friends will be. Course, not that Burton or his partner would be anything less than honest.

On top of being a war "hero", he's also tackling the DADT policy along with a chairforce retired poofter. Give him another medal. Thats just icing on the cake.

The man said he was Burton's partner for 18 years and retired from the U.S. Air Force.</blockquote> I’m getting the strongest impression that he’s not eligible for service with the Marines:

Send his butt to Afghan NOW, and tell the rest of the Marines "this guy is a hero in waiting so give him every opportunity to earn what he has been wearing". The good thing is the $__t stains in his trou will hardly be noticeable over there. Dang it, he wants it, let him go earn it.

How ironic. It may be a misdemeanor, but a lifetime of infamy in exchange for a brief season of empty glory is a burden these perps will have to endure. The misdemeanor pegs the guy for life. Like a sex offender, he is permanently tagged as a fake. I hope he can someday do something that he can be proud of and take no credit for it. Do good and seek no glory.

There always is. Actors who portray warriors, they can wear the uniform and all the doodads. They're, hopefully, representing folks like Patton or Hal Moore and I'd give 'em a pass. Me and my little brother, when I was five and growing up in Fort Sill, we wore very small Army uniforms for Halloween. Youngsters can get away with wearing our uniform for such occasions since what they really want at that time is to be army men. Pass youngster. Also cute girls wearing a military tunic they bought at a thrift ship. Pass friend. bc,
