Freedom of speech? He out and out lied about the whole thing! He and his lawyer need to spend some time visiting soldiers. They both need to get on their knees and thank every Soldier/Sailor/Marine/Coastie/ Merchant Marine and All that signed to defend the right to truly understand what Freedom of Speech means. Scum!! Neither are worthy of my spit.

As a Vietnam veteran (69-70) and a recovering drug addict with 10yrs. clean and sober, I think Alvarez should be put in jail and made an example of. It's people like him that add to the problems that real veterans encounter when we come home!

It is not only a problem. It is a crime to do so. This imposter's farce is a slap in the face of not only the real recipients of our Nation's highest honor and aknowledgement for bravery and sacrifice,if belittles all service members past and present who answer their countries call to arms. Such shade tree heros deserve the harshest punishment as allowed by law.

I agree that this guy should do community service in a Veteran's Hospital, that would give him a perspective he's not had. Better yet, let's send him to the front lines in Iraq to serve the troops there and give him the chance to win his own posthumous medal.

I'm not really sure how you can blame a blowhard politician from Pomona in 2008 with your drug addiction stemming from a war that ended in 1975, but if it makes sense to you then go with it.

congrats on your ten years.......keep on doing just as well.

As for this POS he should be made to tend REAL heros graves each and every day, as we well know most of the people that get these medals are not around to collect them.

sadly I fear for our youth [or at least some of them] as they are just as dim and pathetic and have all the depth of charcter of a slug and then you have the other side of the coin of the young men and women off fighting for you and the right to spout sh**it just like you do and just did in fact....I know which side of the coin my son and daughter are on [USAF] and taking a wild guess as to WHICH side you are on !!!!

The guys in Nam won the battles. They weren't loosing when they left. Then the gutless politicians gave up. Our guys in Iraq are kicking ass and taking names. They are building hospitals, schools, bridges, highways and other forms of new infrastructure. A new country is slowly being built and it will be a buffer to the evil Iran and others.(Just ask the Japanese, Germans and Italians!) It's a shame though, it was veterans who gave you the right to say what you do about them. I'm sure they don't mind!

We did NOT lose in Viet Nam.
The politicians gave up, NOT the military.
The flower power hippies gave up, NOT the miltary.
The liberal colleges and their love not war rhetoric gave up, NOT the military.
We did NOT lose in Viet Nam!

Nor will we lose Iraq.

Try talking to a few soldiers who've returned from Iraq and throwing out the garbage newspapers you read.

Don't waste your breath on people like that. They cannot accept the truth.

They would rather degrade or ridicule the veterans than give us any type of respect.

None of us served for the glory or thanks or medals.

We served because our country called or we served because we thought it was the right thing to do.

We served in spite of them running or choosing not to.

At least we can look at ourselves in the mirror and not have to convince ourselves that we did the right thing. We know.

They sit back and ridicule Vets and don't understand our pride, or the importance of our traditions and the sacrifice many of our brothers and sister have made.
