At the popular military blog This Ain???t Hell, retired Army Sergeant First Class Jonn Lilyea is doing his part to end stolen valor by publicly embarrassing phony heroes who are caught in the act.
???I kind of have a loud megaphone to broadcast this, and I present it in a unique way so I can point and laugh at them,??? he told Human Events. ???That???s why I think my blog is the public square for stolen valor…It reminds people of the idiots who are out there doing this.???
Lilyea said he receives four or five military fraud submissions per week from readers, from news articles to anonymous photographs. And each year, he has a bracket run-off so that his readers can choose the most infamous fraud.
