09:16 What I don't understand (maybe because of my bad English): Is the "Cargo-Package" the pocket on his left leg? If so, then during my time in the Swiss Army I always had a flattened toilet roll in there. 1. Because toilet papers were in demand after 2 days in the field. 2. Because I turned it a bit forwards when doing push-ups and was able to save a bit of weight with my thighs when going down and thus surely managed 20% more. Pardon my english.

Idk, I mean my experience is if you have a proud family member they sell clothing for that pride. At the px I bought my nephew a mock pt uniform and army shirts to show his pride. The uniform is a sacred symbol. Even honorably discharged vets can’t wear an active duty uniform, just the dress ones for special military themed events like weddings and funerals. If someone who served can not wear it then why take sympathy for someone who just wants attention and gain cool points? Not ok in my opinion but I agree in that particular case it’s lack of education and should be handled with kid gloves to education the ignorant.

[@bigblue207]

@@CoreyandCrew the issue is these instances can very quickly reflect poorly on the service. The members of the special operations community are famously level headed and frequently described as “quiet professionals” which is a standard the rest of the service should emulate. Causing a great big scene and ruckus doesn’t do too much good and can actually do harm. I don’t doubt some members legitimately feel distress and anger at this disrespect and act accordingly, but you’d be foolish to say there’s not also a subset that say those things purely because they feel good and are trying to send the next viral stolen valor video up. Some of them might not ever have had friends die but say so because no one would question it and they’ve always wanted to be able to say something that dramatic. I promise it’s happened at least once before. It’s an appealing notion to publicly call someone out on their BS, it kind of elevates you and puts them in their place, but that ultimately roots from some kind of selfishness even if it is justified. I’d like to think the correct way to deal with a legitimate stolen valor encounter is to pull the person to the side privately and look them in the eye to express your displeasure. Not only would it generally positively reflect on the service since you’re not dragging random people into a big instance, it would be much more effective in putting the fear of God in them. Then the argument is “but they’ll just do it as soon as you walk away”, but really it’s not like they’re becoming a whole celebrity because of their lie. They’re affecting a tiny corner of the world and 90% of the time the people they lie to will just move on with their lives totally unaffected anyway. They know what they’re doing. I guess it’s just you don’t want to retroactively reflect badly on the people you’re claiming to avenge and honor the memory of by being a loud mouthed instigator.

James Exactly. It’s literally impossible for any airborne infantry soldier, let alone a Ranger, to get THAT far overweight. We had one guy in our platoon, who after breaking his ankle on a jump, was put on an extended profile and special detail, that did put on a few extra lbs, but nothing as ridiculous as this guy. With the amount of running expected from even straightleg PT, it’s impossible for any legit infantryman to get that far overweight and even if he did, his ass certainly wouldn’t be saying “all I do is go out on missions”, it’d be “all I do is remedial PT”, lol.

[@panzerlieb]

Here’s a funny story about that. When I was in the navy I was deployed overseas. As a lowly E-3 the navy has a tradition of assigning you to “temporary duties” that have nothing to do with your ratings. Anyway, one of my temporary assignments was as duty driver. Basically a free taxi driver for special personnel visiting our base. Very often the special personnel were SEAL teams. From just my limited exposure to actual SEAL team members I gained a fairly good idea of who is and who is not a SEAL. Just to qualify I am not nor have ever been a SEAL. I don’t have it in me. But, I can identify it in those that do and for actual SEAL team members it must stick out like a sore thumb whether you’ve been a SEAL or not. Moving on a couple of years, I served my enlistment and was honorably discharged. After separation, I decided to go to college. And wouldn’t you know it, in one of my first classes, I ran into a individual that claimed to be a SEAL. From the very first moment he opened his mouth I could tell he was a class “A” bullshiter and had never been in the SEALs. I proceeded to let him know that he was full of shit and for the remainder of the year, till he transferred elsewhere, I had to deal with his “dirty go to hell” looks, lol. Which is fair, because I looked at him with contempt every time I saw him.

[@Savage3OO6]

I'm one of those "hollywood" Marines from Parris Island ('96-'00) and I ran into a guy several years after I got out who claimed to be a Vietnam Vet. Initially, I showed him a ton of respect and I started chatting with him about his experiences and I was happy to share mine, as any two Marines do when they first meet. Within a minute, his stories started raising my eyebrows in ways that only a Marine would understand -- they just weren't making sense. So I started to ask more detailed questions that got him deeper and deeper in his web of lies. Finally, I stood up in the bar and said loud enough for everyone to hear, "you're a f***ing liar! You're weren't in Vietnam and you certainly are not a Marine!" Now if he were actually a Vietnam Vet, he would have ripped my eyeballs out at this point. Instead, he stood up and quietly walked out of the bar. That was the only time I've seen stolen valor in person and I hope it's the last.

I run a small hotel in NE and we offer a military discount for active duty / vets / and dependents. So many times a guest will see the sign and say "oh yeah, I'm military / vet" but they don't have any military ID (not even state ID marked VET or a VA card). So I offer them a short quiz to prove themselves (just incase they are legit but they never are) I have had people fail to even tell me what branch they were allegedly in, no clue what an MOS even is let alone a legit one, but they are always Rangers or Recon, lol. My favorite thing to do once i clock them as fake is ask them ridiculous questions like "did your unit use the new ID-10-T Rifles?" to see how deep they dig a hole for themselves. And yes, some of them claim to have used the "idiot" rifle.

Funny story, 7 years ago I met a poolee who was leaving the following Monday (this was a Friday) at a Halloween party and called him out for wearing woodlands. Asked him nicely to go home and change. He blew me off and started talkin shit with his boys while I was watching him. Few minutes later, I went outside and called the Gunny I knew at the recruiting station and told him what was going on. Gave my phone to the kid and he got chewed out for drinking and risking his spot to leave. He went home after the call lol. I ended up seeing him a few years later in 29 palms and my buddy, who was with him in DEP, went to go say what's up. My buddy didn't know our story though lol. In my defense, I was only a year in and boot myself, was already drinking for a couple hours and wanted to stir some shit. It's funny, and a little cringe, now when I think back to it lmaooo.
