Jesse MacBeth sentenced 5 months in prison for lying about being war veteran

In the video, MacBeth claimed he was an Army ranger and continued to describe brutal killings he was ordered to commit. The 23-year-old claimed he killed more than 200 people, “They would actually feel the hot muzzle of my rife on their forehead,” MacBeth reportedly said on the video.

In May 2005, MacBeth’s lies were discovered and exposed to the public.  On June 7 he pleaded guilty to making false statements to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. He admitted to filing claims saying he had been in the army 3 years, awarded the Purple Heart, and ranked as a corporal.  

However, MacBeth did have a small connection to the Army. He went trough 6 weeks of basic training, but was let go because of problems with “entry-level performance and conduct.”
