'''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 having participated in war crimes.  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.
