Stolen valor meme
Operation Seek and Expose.
250 days until Veterans Day.
Proposed Intent: vets go out carefully and accurately identify Military Posers (aka Stolen Valor) in order to non-violently confront and expose them.

Last vets day me and my buddy where made angry by fakers exploiting the charity of others.

Me and a local guy I look up too will go about town to where free meals are offered. However, we will pay and being curious and naive civilians will walk up and as respectful questions. Thank people for their service. When we find a faker will document the interaction and out the faker by repeating their dumb comments back to them out loud. If we catch someone will also report them to the restaurant manager and police.

We will cure this sin through ridicule.

I don't really get spun up about stolen valor. I find it more amusing to look at the pictures and see how jacked up people can be. Plus, I've never been in a situation where I had to confront someone about this issue. If I was in a situation maybe it'd be different. I have other issues to worry about than some douchebag running around in a service uniform getting a free meal. I'm a firm believer that people reap what they sow.

Guess I have my fucking priorities wrong.

If I see 'em, I'll publicly bust them, especially if they are trying to do something silly like get free food at Applebee's.

But the benefit is free food is the perfect bait and an excuse for them to wear obviously out of regulation uniforms since they don't have CACs nor DD 214s. They often opt for uniform since most wait staff will accept it instead of an id. Trick is if you go hunting don't wear military stuff and thank everyone for the service. Another added benefitva room full of vets and people who just paid full price, plus employees not getting a tip from faker.
