Phony soldiers argue First Amendment free speech

Some guy arrested in Colorado for claiming military service says his free speech rights are violated by the Stolen Valor law. However:

"Doug Sterner, a military historian, said the law embodies the wishes of the nation's first commander in chief, George Washington. Sterner noted that Washington created the Purple Heart, the nation's first military decoration, and wrote: 'Should any who are not entitled to these honors have the insolence to assume the badges of them, they shall be severely punished.'”
