Some of your peers (not to be confused with pee-ers), and some in the law, are most definitely not on your side.

Semper lie: Fake veteran must wear sandwich board
(CHERY SABOL-The Daily Inter Lake)
A Whitefish man was sentenced Thursday to spend 50 hours wearing a sandwich board with the words, “I am a liar. I am not a Marine. I have never served my country.”
Chief U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy in Missoula also sentenced William Horvath to four months of house arrest for making a false statement.
Horvath, 36, was convicted of making a false statement – a felony.
According to court documents, in 2001 he told a probation officer that he served time in the U.S. Marine Corps. The probation officer was gathering information on Horvath on a prior charge of being a fugitive in possession of firearms or ammunition.
When the officer attempted to verify Horvath’s military service, the Marine Corps stated there was no record of him having served.
[…] A veteran himself, Molloy ordered Horvath to perform 50 hours of community service by marching in front of the U.S. courthouse in Missoula during regular business hours. He must wear a sandwich board with large letters that will read, “I am a liar. I am not a Marine,” on the front. On the back will be: “I have never served my country. I have dishonored veterans of all wars.”
He must also write a letter of apology to the commandant of the Marine Corps, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and American Legion in Kalispell. Similar letters will go to the Missoulian and Daily Inter Lake newspapers, Molloy ordered. Horvath must admit in the letters that he lied repeatedly about serving and being wounded.
Horvath will be on probation for four years.
Molloy also fined Horvath $1,500.
