They Should Be (Ho)axed To Death

I was trying to force myself to turn the computer off and get some additional sleep, but then I came across this CNN story about someone impersonating a military officer making a false notification of a soldier’s death.. What a heartless hoax.

You heard me right. Some anti-war moron showed up, in a uniform, at the Savannah, Georgia home of the wife of an Army soldier deployed to Iraq and proceeded to tell her that her husband had been killed.

"Right off the bat, she noticed some things were not right," Whetstone said. "The individual's uniform wasn't correct -- there were no markings or name tags. Plus, the person was alone, and she knew one person does not make (death) notifications."

Fortunately, the Army has been briefing the families of deployed troops because there have been previous incidents of fake death notifications being delivered by telephone.

Forget using schoolchildren to write anti-war letters, this sinks to a new low. If they happen to catch someone that has the gall to attempt to hurt the family of a soldier by falsely reporting a death, that individual should be deported within 24 hours of conviction to the middle east or North Korea.

That will teach them…
