Former Ranger Tells All!
Decorated Army Corporal Jesse Adam MacBeth reveals American Atrocities!!So far, the only statement in this post that's factual is the name "Jesse Adam MacBeth." And he was born "Jesse Adam Al-Zaid."
In a videotaped interview, Macbeth/Al-Zaid wore a camouflage jacket and told a tale that many people in America had been longing to hear. He talked about a slaughter of hundreds of innocent people in a mosque. "We would burn their bodies ... hang their bodies from the rafters in the mosque," he said, clearly distraught at what the American Military had forced him to do.
For a while he was the 'poster child' of anti-war groups.
Until it emerged that he'd been booted out of the Army, and had never been in a Ranger.
To his credit, Macbeth/Al-Zaid's slander of the Rangers seems to have been incidental to his attempt to defraud the Veteran's Administration (VA). He got a five-month sentence.
I'm not condoning either, but in my view thievery is not as bad slandering American soldiers.
So what?
Two things.
- Don't believe everything you read.
Consider the source.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Use common sense.
Think! - It's not nice to defraud the VA, and there's something you can do about it.
