'''Jesse MacBeth''' was an individual who gained a level of infamy by doing a 2005 video interview which was posted throughout the world on sites such as [[YouTube]], claiming to have been a member of the United States Army's Rangers recovering from wounds received in [[Iraq]]; dressed in his battle uniform, he claimed that he was made to kill civilians and had participated in [[war crime]]s.  Subsequent research into the matter proved that not only was MacBeth never in Iraq, he was discharged from the [[Army]] after six weeks in [[boot camp]] at Fort Benning, Ga., in 2003 because of his “entry level performance and conduct.”  MacBeth's claims and subsequent exposure as a fraud resulted in the phrase "[[phony soldier]]" being applied to him as well as those who made similar claims.
