Jesse MacBeth: Winning the Hearts and Minds of the Anti-War Left and America's Enemies

Jesse Adam MacBeth, 23, formerly of Phoenix, garnered attention on blogs and in some alternative media after he began claiming in 2005 to have been awarded a Purple Heart for his service, which he said included slaughtering innocents in a Fallujah mosque. His story was contradicted by his discharge form, showing that he was kicked out of the Army after six weeks at Fort Benning, Ga., in 2003 because of his “entry level performance and conduct.”

A complaint unsealed Friday in U.S. District Court in Seattle charged him with one count of using or possessing a forged or altered military discharge certificate, and one count of making false statements in seeking benefits from the Veteran's Administration.

Apparently transcripts of the Pepperspray Productions video he was featured in by Peacefilms.org have been made into English and Arabic. Gee, we're apparently creating more terrorists by our presence in Iraq...I wonder why that is? I'm sure it couldn't be because of traitorous scum like this, faking stories of atrocities, tarnishing America's image abroad and fueling the Jihadist movement.

Here's a "false, but accurate" account of Jesse MacBeth's history. His birth surname was "Al-Zaid". Can't blame him for changing that...."MacBeth" just sounds so "ubber tragically cool". In truth, here's a poem in honor of Jesse MacBeth:

Forsaken Honor, Forgotten Shame
False face must hide what the false heart doth know.

Macbeth 1.7

The liberals found a new Macbeth
To bait the media with claims of death,
And atrocious acts by his own men,
Opportunely vague 'bout where and when.
But liberal bloggers shared with glee,
New proof of our troops' infamy;
Web witches stirred their bitter brew,
Caring not their broth might be untrue.

But liberals heed not lessons learned,
That hollow heroes leave them burned.
So fools rush in, disdaining danger,
And hold on high a phony Ranger,
Exploit a mentally troubled youth,
To extend their version of the truth.
Because our troops they so despise,
They swallowed whole his vicious lies.

So now we witness once again,
The Lefties just can't seem to win,
When it comes to picking warrior heroes,
Liberal heroes often turn out zeroes,
Who wrap themselves up in the flag,
And unlike heroes, boast and brag;
And trot out rows of Purple Hearts,
For scratches on their body parts.

Why must they seek to elevate
Themselves with lies that desecrate
The brave and honorable reputation
Of those who serve, protect our nation?
John Kerry, Murtha and Macbeth,
All share a trait, exploiting death.

In their own selfish quest for fame,
They've forsaken honor, forgotten shame.
