:Since a proper merger would involve merging the change histories, I believe that only an administrator can do it properly. Am I wrong? Thanks, [[User:Wschact|Wschact]] 13:28, 5 February 2015 (EST)

== Stolen Valor ==
According to an article [http://www.military.com/daily-news/2013/06/03/obama-signs-new-stolen-valor-act.html "Obama signs new Stolen Valor Act"] by Bryant Jordan of Military.com, on Jun 3, 2013 a law called the Stolen Valor Act was signed, "which makes it a federal crime for people to pass themselves off as war heroes by wearing medals they didn't rightfully earn.
:"The legislation passed both houses of Congress with overwhelming majorities.
:"An earlier version, passed in 2005, was struck down in June 2012 when the Supreme Court ruled that lying about military heroics was constitutionally protected speech unless there was intent to gain some benefit or something of value by fraud."
"The law signed Monday at the White House includes such a provision, making it illegal to make the claims with the intent to obtain money, property or other tangible benefits."
Needless to say, this article indicates that NBC anchorman Brian Williams' false boasts of coming under fire in Iraq is not constitutionally protected free speech.
Perhaps there's a chance that viewers who were misled by Williams' claims and proceeded to watch NBC News because of them can initiate and engage in a class action lawsuit against Williams on that basis. Just a thought. [[User:VargasMilan|VargasMilan]] 20:36, 11 February 2015 (EST)
