I'm glad the military so full of babies that they need a special military cosplay law so they don't have to fill out their hurt feelings reports because some fake seal gave them a boo boo.

That was struck down last year as a First Amendment violation. What series of images are these anyway? I found another one while searching about that one, the Microsoft-Office produced artwork adds an extra charm to it.

My governor looks uncannily like Judge Doom.  He also twice attempted to relate to black people by calling them poor and insulting their parents. Oh Rick!

I love these guys because they're so over the top:  Why yes, I am an air force master sergeant with a silver star and three combat infantry awards only given to army soldiers, oh and I'm a pilot too. The best part about this guy was that he wore this on a military base.  Then there's this guy who's like a count all the things wrong with this picture. Bonus points for him being scolded with the knife hand.

I've heard this guy actually tries to fool people into thinking he's a military man, it might be just a rumour but it'd be pretty drat hilarious.  This guy became a commander at a very young age.

For some reason, no one puts on a fake uniform and claims to be a HR file clerk. They're all navy seals with multiple medals of honor, but they can't figure out how to not wear two of the same ribbon. It's like a shibboleth for people who have served.

But why do they do it? Is it just as a costume at a party, or do they actually try to pretend to have served? Is it like a weird kind of military reenactment club?  "long live the commune!"

They want to get the respect afforded to people that have seen combat in the US armed forces, some are outright scam artists and others are delusional (people have been known to claim that they were in Vietnam even though they were in diapers in 1975).  "Glory to the Fatherland of Heroes!" This one seems to only needed a little tweaking to become :smugsoviet: (first into space).

Some of them do it because they want the attention and respect people give to servicemen and veterans. I knew a guy who claimed he was in the Marines but never went and he did it because he had all kinds of self image problems. Most of my old Army buddies on Facebook get so mad about people doing that sort of thing but I just can't bring myself to care. If people want to play dress up I don't see why anyone should get upset about it.

It is really irritating to go through boot camp, put up with the clusterfuck that is the military and developing the personal identity of a service member, then seeing some imbecile throwing on a surplus uniform and claiming he's Captain America. It would be the same as someone pretending to be a priest or a doctor, and there is a reason why impersonating them is illegal as well. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Sometimes it's not just playing dress-up, though. In some situations you can get special treatment or discounts and the like. It's kind of like fraud, unless it's clearly just for fashion or fun. But if I were a soldier, getting mad about it would be about item #98747471 on my list of priorities or things to be angry about.

It's kind of like going around telling everyone - friends, random strangers, future employers - that you're an MIT grad. You even have a fake diploma and a class ring you bought off ebay to back it up, and you have pretty good knowledge of a lot of the school's traditions and goings-on, though a real grad would be able to see the holes in your story. It's not going to get you into any real legal trouble if you get found out (though maybe MIT could sue your rear end?) but it's still a pretty dick thing to do. I get kind of upset at it but it's more funny to me how oblivious they are to what the military is really like.

It's not illegal to tell everyone you're a priest or a doctor and play-pretend. It's only illegal if you start treating people without a license. That seems fundamentally different to it being illegal to impersonate a service member in any context, even if you're not hurting anyone else. But didn't that get repealed this year anyway?

The Stolen Valor Act banned fake military medals and made it a crime to falsely claim you had earned one. You could still tell people you were a soldier, just not a decorated one. It was struck down by SCOTUS last year.

It would be the same as someone pretending to be a priest or a doctor, and there is a reason why impersonating them is illegal as well. I had two friends who were fairly friendly with each other, one who was an infantryman for 4 years and the other who was going to join up. The latter washed out after 4 weeks of basic. When the first friend found out the second was still wearing his dog tags and yapping about his "army buddies", he quit talking to him entirely. It got even more hilarious when the second took some ROTC class and decided he was a master tactician after playing sojer in the woods for a couple of days before failing out of college entirely.

Nothing like going through a friend's photos from his deployment in Kosovo and finding a picture of him with his cock stuck in his M203. Anyway, enough of that, this video inspired more American pride in me than any number of insipid photo montages set to Skynyrd ever could. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6KNjZmRLrY

No, someone pretending to be a doctor can actually do harm besides hurting your feelings.

I take it this was filmed on the northern border of Suadi Arabia during Desert Shield - those are Saddam's scuds on their war to Tel Aviv right? No really what the hell are those things flying overhead? On claiming medals that are not earned: it's obviously a thing. New Zealand has had a law on the books since 1918, but only had the first prosecution for the offence last year. Enjoy the the po-faced news coverage.
