Abel Fields is being convicted of lying about being in the military and getting medals. For this he falls under The Stolen Valor Act that was signed in 2006. Abel was charged and has to pay a fee of 1,000 dollars. He was fighting that it was a violation of his freedom of speech. The court said it will be ignored if the speech was pure.

It will be bad if people lied about being in a military rank when they are not. It is also illegal because it was signed into law in 2006. A law is a law just because it was a speech and it did not harm anyone does not mean that it is ok. If it went on and he was not
