Another "Anti-War" Urban Legend Exposed

Remember former Marine Staff Sergeant Jimmy Massey? I have to admit I had forgotten about him. Perhaps that's because his seditious voice got drowned out by his rapacious fellow America-hating screamers.

Now, though, there's one more reason for him to shut up - he's an f'ing liar:

For more than a year, ...Massey has been telling newspapers, magazines, broadcast media and college audiences about the atrocities he and other Marines committed in Iraq.

Earlier this year he joined Cindy Sheehan’s anti-war bus tour, and his book Kill, Kill, Kill was recently released in [oh, the delicious irony] France....

Few investigated Massey’s claims about killing innocent Iraqi citizens or questioned whether or not his horror stories were true.

They weren’t.

A blockbuster report in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch blows the lid off Massey’s claims once and for all and shows them to be at best, exaggerations – or at worst, demonstrably false.

The details are well worth the read. The only things I can add are...

-What else do you expect from a guy who was discharged as being a head case?

-What excuse do his fellow non-veteran headcases have?

-Will Massey be John Kerry's designated senate successor in 2008?
