Stolen Valor

Law that makes it a crime to lie about military honors could be overturned

However personally galled and angered B.G. Burkett is by people who lie about military honors, he is equally frank about the possibility of losing the Stolen Valor Act, the law that punishes them. He puts the odds of it surviving at less than 50-50. "It's not a worthless law, but it's a weak law," Burkett said. "People expect me to be angry about the possibility that it will go down, but it doesn't bother me. The law isn't doing what it's supposed to do."
