"Everybody knows" what the American Legion is like: a bunch of old coots with beer bellies, scarfing down pretzels and booze in a smoke-filled bar.
"Everybody" is wrong.

OEF and OIF encompass Military Operations not only in Afghanistan and Iraq respectively, but as well as sixty-three other countries to include, but not limited to, Africa and the Philippines."

Actually, some of yesterday's news may be here. Or maybe last week's.
The software and science stuff might still be interesting, though. Or not.

Michael Gerold founded We Do For The Troops. He is a Stolen Valor fraud. Read about his scams in this article: http://thisainthell.us/blog/?p=33919
Anthony Alfidi,
Noted. I found this:
"Alleged faker faces mail fraud charges," Army Times, a Gannet company (January 2011)
"Charged" isn't "convicted," of course.
The trial didn't end well for Mr. Gerold:
"Reputed counter-terrorism expert pleads guilty" http://www.armytimes.com/article/20110409/NEWS/104090317/Reputed-counter-terrorism-expert-pleads-guilty
Thank you for bringing Michael Gerold's actions to my attention.
