Rush responds by citing the US Attorney's Office Western District of Washington's "Operation Stolen Valor" targeted multiple "phony" soldiers like Jesse MacBeth. Rush posts video of the ABC News report "Phony Heroes." He also cites the liberal New Republic's "Baghdad Diarist," anti-war soldier Pvt.
