The most likable troop I know irl thinks stolen valor is hilarious because "who would want to pretend to be in the military". Well, we found him

Everything about this photo is so great, but the best part of all is that chain of command photo board hanging out in the background.

That picture really was a gift to the world. I want to shake the hand of the drill sergeant that took it. Scraping the back of my brain pan hard to remember more than his stepkid was in army boot, I think at Jackson. Can't remember clearly but that dude may have washed out of AF basic. This was sometime before 2010, iirc, or close to it. Can't remember if he was featured in a drunk/civ thread or a milpic thread, but we definitely covered this guy over a decade ago.

How does someone get above the local level in politics without anyone making sure that there isn’t low hanging fruit for opponents to rip them apart for? Like this seems like politics 101 level poo poo where someone throws a poly sci intern at googling some poo poo about the opposing party candidate.

He didn't go through the local level, this appears to be his first election. From his biography, he's a project manager for an energy company right now.

Americans, by and large, assume everyone in the military is a trained killer on some level. You don’t have to lie about what you did in the forever wars, the public just assumes you were vital to our “win.” Lying about the military is gilding the lily for a politician. Look how unremarkable Pete Butt’s career was- he didn’t try to pretend to be a SEAL and reaped SOME benefit politically from his service. Can’t say I’m a fan of him, or his service or the reasons therein- but dude didn’t Steal Valor at least.

Its all so terrible. Like: Some basic googling or research would've told you how to make a uniform that likely would've slipped under the radar. No, he just award shotgun'ed a set of blues and though nobody would notice. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 15:58 on Sep 23, 2022 |

He thought everybody in the military came out as Liam Neeson from Taken.

The master of my Masonic lodge was in the military and one time we were talking about stolen valor stuff and his take on it was really interesting. He was a “paper pusher” in logistics and is quite open about how he never even left the United States. But he was still in the military and assuredly did something that was important in many small and big ways. He says one issue with these stolen valor people is that a lot of them were in jobs like his, they get out and see all the positive praise the actually deployed shooters get, the “hero and bravery” stuff, and somewhere in their warped mind they start asking themselves “well what about me?” Like, they feel entirely unrecognized and left out of the general public praise for the pipe hitters. They want in on it. So they start misrepresenting what they did in the military and it just snowballs all the gently caress of the way from there. Watching that Don Shipley guy, a lot of the stolen valor idiots he goes after fall into this group. They’ll have been a petty officer or whatever on some ship that hung out on the east coast for a year and turn that into “deployed with navy seals” because one time a seal was in the cafeteria with them. But there seems to be plenty of others that are a) insane and never even attempted to join the military and build some wild bullshit persons or b) washed out extremely early but cannot ever, ever, admit to themselves their failures so instead hide behind a bunch of increasingly bigger lies to prevent ego implosion.

Good old EO 13292 is pretty clear on this: Trumps own goddamned executive order posted:Sec. 1.7. Classification Prohibitions and Limitations. I mean, it’s an E.O. not a law. Decades ago I remember (early 2000’s) there was a federal statute on classifying illegal things is actually illegal and bad and will only make the penalties for your illegal poo poo worse. A lot of laws have sundown provisions, or just go away so I don’t know if it’s still the case that there’s a law on that poo poo. Definitely an E.O. though.
