Well this guy found the most ridiculous way to be UN-patriotic . . .
A 31-year-old guy in North Carolina named Charles Carr recently broke into someone's house and stole a bunch of stuff . . . including four military medals earned in Vietnam.
Two of them were Purple Hearts, and the guy who earned them isn't with us anymore. His name was Daniel Laws. And as you'd imagine, his family was upset when they realized his medals were gone.
But thankfully, cops were able to connect Charles to the crime . . . after he traded one of the Purple Hearts for a MOUNTAIN DEW. Specifically, a Mountain Dew Code Red.
The guy who traded with him saw a story about the missing medals on TV and came forward. So the family got one of the Purple Hearts back.
Last we heard, Charles was still on the run, and the other three medals hadn't been returned yet.
(Here's a photo of the Purple Heart, along with a previous mugshot of Charles.)
