To me, one of the funniest things about those officers walking around wearing Christmas trees on their chests is that civilians don't really realize just how basic so many of those medals are.

It's all wrong civilians should not be able to get hold of medals and decorations, even the uniforms should be only if you're serving and if your wearing a medal that was given to you and by the way in its self is just unforgivable to give medals away they still belong to the military really unless there handed down from parent to child or family members as a keep sake and not to be worn in public.But to make some bullshit shite up to someone that has served is completely ridiculous.

I spotted two types of errors that constitute attempted stolen valor, including medals accepted by the VA as evidence of combat experience, in vet-supplied documents in support of his claim. I took it to the vet’s service organization personally and told them if that vet calls, tell him he’s a damn liar. I’m not going to identify the clues because I don’t want to give them away.

I wasn’t in the military myself (went straight into corrections and law enforcement rather than military after high school), but the homeless vet issue is a hot spot for me. My father served honorably in the army (Vietnam era) but held a stigma against using his V.A. benefits. He looked at it as being akin to welfare. After he became homeless and I took over his power of attorney, I had to storm the gates of hell (a.k.a the V.A.) to get him the housing and medical treatment he EARNED through his service. So the phonies who try to sprinkle fairy dust over people’s eyes and bamboozle them really irk me because we have real vets who desperately need those services but are hesitant to use them because of the natural stigma people have toward claimants due to the lies the phony vets bring upon the most honorable citizens of our great country.

The lefties seem to think Churchill was a genocidal racist, the youtuber how to drink even said that, however he's the same guy to say that the founding fathers of America were genocidal racists, which did rather confuse me, people in that group don't seem to really know their history, because the founding fathers were libertarians who had to fight off the British to make America, and Winston Churchill was a leader that needed to be put in power in order to win WW2, he was the leader that would declare war on Germany, and the previous PM, Neville Chamberlain didn't because of fear of having a repeat of WW1 along with a lot of other people who opposed the idea of another war.

The problem I have with Stolen Valor videos is that many of these guys go around accusing anyone wearing a uniform or parts of a uniform, or even some ribbons of stolen valor. As a 15 year vet I am disgusted by these scammers, but the people calling them out should know what the law is. The Stolen Valor Act of 2013 (Pub.L. 113-12 H.R. 258) makes it a "crime for a person to claim they have served in the military, embellish their rank or fraudulently claim having received a valor award specified in the Act, "with the intention of obtaining money, property, or other tangible benefit" by convincing another that he or she received the award." Awards specified include: Medal of Honor Distinguished Service Cross Navy Cross Air Force Cross Silver Star Bronze Star Purple Heart Combat Action Ribbon Combat Infantryman's Badge Combat Action Badge Combat Medical Badge Combat Action Medal The first guy wearing some ribbons and a mini medal all jacked up on his shirt is not guilty of "Stolen Valor" because nothing on his shirt is included in the list of specified awards, and he specifically stated that he was never in the military. He said he worked with AP3. The Authorized Provider Partnership Program - known as AP3 - allows the use of community volunteers to augment the legislated two-person uniformed detail for veteran funerals. This Department of Defense program, authorized by Section 1491(b) of Title 10, U.S Code, trains volunteers from veterans service organizations, or VSOs, and other approved groups to assist in providing military funeral honors as “authorized providers.” AP3 promotes community involvement and supports the family and friends of the deceased veteran. In addition, the combined funeral honor detail symbolizes the continuity of respect for deceased veterans from those who are serving and those who have served in the armed forces. I noticed there was a bugle on that man's shirt pocket; providing a bugler for a vet's funeral is one of the services provided by AP3 if one cannot be found from local military members. Why was he wearing a National Defense Ribbon? He said he was told he could wear it by someone... I couldn't make out the name, and seriously, I don't care that he's wearing it; it's just some gedunk fruit cocktail. I feel that if the man is helping support the family members of a deceased vet, he's doing a helluva lot more than most.

The Bugles Across America guy is just a bit befuddled. The organization (which is a non-profit and NOT a scam) is sanctioned by the DOD under their AP3 (not "AT3") program. Formally called the "Authorized Provider Partnership Program". It allows the use of civilian volunteers (former military or not) to assist in Military Funeral Honors. This is related to legislation that all veterans can have a military funeral if requested and at least 2 members from the armed forces will be provided (along with a flag). I don't think the guy should have been wearing the National Defense ribbon and I can't believe that Tom Day said he could (Tom Day is the founder of this roughly 5,000 member organization that provides live buglers to play Taps). I don't know what those other ribbons are. Bugles Across America DOES give out medals for various of their events (like the Boy Scouts do for hikes) but they aren't to be worn at funeral services. Maybe it was some of those. If so, I think wearing them outside of Bugles Across America is a gray area and probably could be misleading.

10:00 That guy's describing the plot to the comedy Down Periscope! 🤣

The second guy, with the sunglasses on reminded me of the Cuban general in the original Red Dawn movie

[@rogerramjet5302]

Reckon that last guy is Napoleon Dynamite's uncle and they both spent the summer in Alaska shooting wolverines with a frickin' 12 gauge.

I feel so sorry for all of the true vets and people currently serving that have to see these liars. My dad is an Army veteran and I was born on the Ft. Hood Texas base we lived on while my dad served back in '77 . My grandfather was a Korean War veteran and my uncle was a Marine.

[@Brusselpicker]

My dad had his WW2 medals stolen, I wear lots of military surplus clothing but I wear it in a way that nobody could mistake me for service personnel, if anybody asks I make it 1000% clear that the nearest I got to military service was 20 years as a mechanical engineer on a military base as civilian support staff.

The medal that has one half wing is a ballonists wing award. To find this in the books you would have to go back several decades. My Warrant was a balloonist anti submarine warfare tech, I know this award.

[@timothywilliams1359]

That's interesting. I never even heard about that award.

[@WellyBoote]

I love that you think that was polite, that is just a british way of saying "Leave now or you will regret it" lol

[@low-keyrighteous9575]

Lol I didn't get any politeness coming from the real soldier. He looked annoyed and frustrated

[@allanfitz3535]

When you got more medals than a African general your a Walter mitty

[@briannotafan3368]

more medals than saddam hussein or eddiea mean

[@bubbalong7646]

I knew Wally Mitty in Nam. He was in the 173rd Airborne Brigade and got the Bronze Star.

[@indyjohn59]

More like a North Korean General...LOL

[@Thomas116-m2n]

AHahaha. The language school at Lackland AFB had those guys walking around. There would be one who had plumes in his hat, 49 ribbons and medals, and the American equivalent rank of E-3. Hilarious.

[@mikephelps1924]

That's racist

[@kevinfoster926]

That last one was brilliant! 😂 I'm now convinced he was Kawalski from the tv programme 'Voyage to the bottom of the sea', Kawalski to the bridge, Kawalski to the flying sub, Kawalski to the torpedo room etc etc etc.................................keep em coming.

[@brianmiller4207]

I love your videos, now that I am too old to serve I regret it. I had no idea that my father was a Sgt. in the Air Force until his funeral at Calverton cemetery on Long Island, because he never talked about it. Keep up the good work.
