What's wrong with this uniform?

Dude doesn't look old enough to have a kid finishing bct - Let alone having served in *The Army Air Force*.
Wouldn't the correct trousers for THAT uniform be bloused bell bottom blues?

15 rows of medals, dude could kill you with his MIND.

Printing out his DD214 kills so many trees that it’s been declared a leading cause of global warming."

Now I can laugh myself to sleep for sure. I'm out.

Nice random net find. ;)
 
Lots going on here.

The uniform guy is there for the graduation of his twenty-something stepdad who's married to his fifty-somrthing mom.

I'm wondering if we've witnessed the return of Gecko45...
 
Thing is... strangely enough the guy actually is/was a legit veteran. He apparently served in the USAF as a loadmaster.

There's lots of reasons that his mother could have "married" a guy younger than her son, most have to do with getting Tricare insurance and having someone to collect your death benefits in case something happens to you. Widows/widowers get a pension if you die in combat. Some people who don't particularly have anyone "marry" someone on the books in order that the "spouse" can get medical care and so that the death benefits can go to someone.
 
Perhaps one of you can enlighten me...

...but I thought behavior such as this was illegal under "stolen valor"...I had heard this was overturned. Do any of you have the answer on that?

Honestly, I think the military went easy on him as he doesn't exactly look like he's playing with a full deck. The MP's were there and I don't think any of us were. If he was of sound mental state (anyone know a poser who is?) then he probably would've been a "very clumsy person who keeps running into brick walls and falling down" while on base.
 
Nope

Not illegal. The MPs can escort him off post-the installation command can bar him from entering post.
During Vietnam-the hippies wore all sorts of uniform parts-now you have phonies, protestors, wanna be's.
Go to your nearest airport and welcome some military kid home-give one a hug as they go back. Buy a military family a meal. Thank a spouse for being a military spouse.
 
I thought "impersonating" was an offense. I was always told you can't wear an article of uniform if it is ready for military wear. Example: Rain jacket with rank on collar, remove rank insignia and it is now just a rain jacket. I know you certainly can't do the same with a LEO's uniform... That will get you picked up and taken in for sure. So what's the diff???
 
I feel sorry for the guy, if he was an AF vet and he knows better and maybe he is just sick in the head.

He does need help.
 
Geez, I spent 24 years in the Army and Air Force and he has 11 more rows of decorations than I got. Looks like he took good care of himself.
 
I was never in military but even I could spot many problems beyond the crooked windsor knot.

In the privacy of his own home it would be harmless, but in public it is disrespectful to those who wore a uniform and those who respect it.

The guy has mental issues, probably not helped by the situation with his Mother and stepfather. I just feel sorry for him; the guy needs help.

I believe Stolen Valor is only an offense if you are using it for monetary gain.
 
A CIB with TWO stars? When I joined the Army in 1967 I saw some senior NCOs wearing it. It meant they had been awarded it for Vietnam, plus Korea (1950-1953) and WWII (1941-1945) and had been in the Army for well over 20 years. Also this clown is wearing the Presidential Unit Citation on his LEFT side, it goes over the RIGHT breast pocket.

Not surprisingly the (I think) 9th Circuit Court struck down Stolen Valor as an infringement of freedom of expression -- lying, they said, is a protected from of freedom of speech. And, in the instance of "social lies" I have to agree with them. I think a more carefully worded law -- Stolen Valor MkII ? -- is what's needed. Either that, or there should be no legal penalty for beating the **** out of those who do steal the valor of those who serve in the military. Either way, I'd be happy, and the "social lies" would soon stop.
