It is a horrifying story that I would recommend you watch.

initial research by the U.S. Army Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg shows no Soldier with the name of Jesse Macbeth having ever been assigned to the Special Forces or the Army Rangers -- which are, in fact, two separate disciplines. This appears to be some sort of hoax. No Soldier by that name at Fort Lewis to our knowledge, in the past, either. Of course, the line about "go into the Army or go to jail" is vintage TV script not heard since the 1960s. There are also numerous wear and appearance issues with the Soldier's uniform -- a mix of foreign uniforms with the sleeves rolled up like a Marine and a badly floppy tan beret worn like a pastry chef. Of course, the allegations of war crimes are vague, as are the awards the Soldier allegedly received.·hr> Added: May 23, 2006
I noted all of these things as well.. I worked with Rangers and other folks during the 1 1/2 years I spent in Iraq. And for one thing.. I've never seen such a skinny-@ssed Ranger, nor could I imagine a ranger being so unprofession as to where a white T-shirt with his uniform, or to wear his Beret in such a sloppy manner... He had pin-on rank, and I swear I never met a ranger in Iraq who's rank wasn't sewn on, or attached to a velcro strip making for easy removal. And from the 10 minutes or so of what I watched (just couldn't finish it out of fear of choking from laughter), I couldn't discern the type of tab he had on.. but another former ranger claimed it was a Special Forces Group tab.. worn on the right hand shoulder with no ranger tab..
You don't where a Special Forces combat patch (right sleeve) unless you've been attached to that unit for a period of time, and actually conducted combat operations with them.
And claiming that he had killed 200 people by his own hand?? Oh... that's GOOD!! That's just downright funny as Sh*t...
Hell, I knew guys who were 10 times the man this idiot is, out performing missions every night, and didn't rack up that kind of score.
The entire SpecOps community is VERY SMALL, and VERY TIGHT...
