Shouldn't service be the sentence? Even the military needs janitors.

Wouldn't be a bad idea ... in the 'old days' Judges used to give juveniles an option to join the military or go to jail. I don't think they can do that anymore, but probably was a much better system for all.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they can't anymore either. It really is a shame. In some cases I think it could do wonders. Especially w/ problem children of single mother families.

Yup ... I haven't heard of it in ages though, so the ACLU or someone must have fought it and got it banned, as usual with any decent idea.

This judge is awesome with such a creative sentence addition. They might need more than 10 years to complete this assignment since it's so far reaching.

>Before either can be eligible for parole, however, Pinski ordered them both to handwrite the names of the 6,756 Americans killed in Iraq and Afghanistan; to write out the obituaries of the 40 Montanans killed in Iraq and Afghanistan; and send hand-written letters of apology to several veterans groups, making sure to identify themselves as having lied about military service to receive help and possibly a lesser sentence through a Veterans Court.

>In 2016, Morris claimed he had PTSD and that he did seven combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He also said he had his hip replaced after being injured by an improvised explosive device. Nelson reportedly got enrolled in Veterans Treatment Court before it was determined he didn't actually serve in the military.

>Morris and Nelson were also each ordered to perform 441 hours of community service — one hour for each Montanan killed in combat since the Korean War — with a veteran's organization.

>The judge also ordered that, during the suspended portions of their sentences, Morris and Nelson must stand at the Montana Veterans Memorial in Great Falls for eight hours on each Memorial Day and Veterans Day wearing a placard that says: “I am a liar. I am not a veteran. I stole valor. I have dishonored all veterans.”

>Additionally, Pinski made the men watch a video of a stolen valor suspect being confronted by a military member, according to KRTV. The judge said the sentences were punishment for lying to the court.

Holy shit, why aren't there more sentences like these.

Agree. What assholes and what a judge.
