Fake Crime, Real Time
If you wanna to do the fake crime, you gotta be ready to do the real time. Jesse MacBeth got his wish. He’s a war criminal now.
Crime, lying about war. Too bad they didn’t charge him with treason for aiding and abetting the enemy. Then, they could have hanged him. Instead, YouTube war criminal only gets five months. That’s lame. He didn’t even get hard labor. No lashes. The Abu Ghraib crowd got up to 10 years for their fake war crimes.

I would gladly let him off the 5 month sentence in return for say, an unsupervised half hour sentence hanging out with a Marine rifle platoon, or a destroyer deck department, or a USAF PJ outfit or…
