patoloco discovered 9 months ago- "In October 2002, Cottone was made an "Honorary Marine" by then-Commandant Gen James Jones for his work in busting frauds. And at his own award ceremony, Cottone spotted a phony. Navy Capt Roger D. Edwards, who was also made an Honorary Marine at that October ceremony, had an impressive rack of ribbons that tripped Cottone's trigger. The special agent enlisted the aid of another medals-fraud hunter, B.G. "Jug" Burkett, who had heard about Edwards' possible fraud and reported him to Navy leaders. Soon enough, the truth came out: The captain was wearing 11 decorations he didn't rate. He was convicted and sentenced to 115 days' confinement and $7,500 forfeiture of pay for three months." Fucking hardcore. There's not enough we could ever do for Agent Cottone and what he has done for Stolen Valor crimes.

- It had never occured to me before that people did this, but thinking about it, it's not hard to believe that someone would do this. It just makes me sick that someone would take away from the honor bestowed on our war heroes.
