According to jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com:
I haven't found any evidence this tool played dress-up other than to try to impress people at a reunion. Back during the height of the Iraq war there were more than enough phony soldiers popping up with the anti-war crowd. Anyway, get a load of the photo taken on Coronado. I'm surprised the weight of "his" medals didn't cause him to fall over.
A Palm Springs man who has never served in the military is expected to surrender to authorities Thursday to face charges of wearing military medals he did not earn, authorities said today.
Steve Burton, 39, has agreed to surrender at the U.S. District Court in Riverside. He was charged Friday by federal prosecutors in L.A. with the unauthorized wearing of military medals after he was allegedly seen and photographed wearing military uniforms and decorations.
The FBI was contacted by a Navy commander after she attended her high school reunion and saw Burton wearing a Marine Corps uniform displaying several medals, including the Navy Cross, the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart and others, according to an affidavit filed in United States District Court.
The Navy Cross is the highest medal the Navy awards and is the second highest award given for valor, second only to the Medal of Honor.
Suspicious, the commander asked to be photographed with Burton. The photo was used in the investigation. The FBI said it also found that Burton had made Internet postings about being a Marine and had written about his “combat experience” as well as his “service” in Afghanistan and Iraq. He also allegedly posted a picture of himself standing on a beach at Coronado wearing a Marine dress uniform with three rows of medals.

Here is what I immediately thought when I read this article. . . .
The FBI investigated and has now charged this Marine wannabe for "unauthorized wearing of military medals".
What was he doing impersonating a Marine? Unless he murdered the Marine and took his metals did this really call for a full blown federal investigation? His Crime? Wearing medals and trying to impress the ladies. . . .
WTF. . . .using critical resources of the FBI for this bullsh*t when we have "enemy within" that want to destroy our country.
Why did the FBI allow a muslim major in the military to go off their radar when he attended the same radical mosque as the 9-11 hijackers whose imam has praised the attack. He described American soldiers as "infidels who should have their throats slit."
Major Hasan is a muslim fanatic, known to the FBI as a fan of suicide bombers and to colleagues as an opponent of our government. This bast*rd was allowed to harass the soldiers he treated for stress disorders. According to colleagues, Hasan not only argued with his patients about our wars, but preached Islam to those under his care and was corresponding with a radical Islamist imam in the hotbed of al-Qaeda terrorism.
Major Hasan came to the attention of the FBI in December 2008 and their "conclusion made by the investigator and the supervisor that Major Hasan was not involved in terrorist activities or planning."
All the unconnected dots of the FBI, Homeland Security and Military Intelligence. . . .and now 13 soldiers are KIA (killed in action) and 30+ injured.
Did America not learn ANYTHING after 9/11?
