Every Veterans Day, I scour FaceBook to give nod to those who have served. Usually, I leave a "like" vote or a flowery comment. But, this afternoon I catch this. I did a double-take and said to myself something's not right. The pic is posted on one of my friend's page. Two part question: 1.) What's wrong about this pic? and 2.) Any suggestions on how to address this? I smell a rat. But, I thought I'd turn this over to the crowd before I burn a friend. If it helps guide your comments, the photo is actually the spouse of my friend. Photo would have been taken in the early to mid-90's. Fire away...

To start off with,
I NEVER, even considered sporting obviously phony ammo, or an M16 in a pic
Next, I’m fairly certain his hair isn’t reg
His uniform “might be” accurate, but his sleeves absolutely ARE NOT ROLLED UP PROPERLY! I don’t recognize the scarf, or the beret.

That photo was taken at Lackland AFB, TX in the PX.
Back in 1989 I know for a fact they had E-1’s who graduated go j to this photo shop at the PX and have those photos taken.
Lackland used to be the Air Force BMT base and also Security Police school location.
That photo shop in the PX has all those props, including beret and ascot.
You would go in and pay something like 39.00 for a hero photo to send back you your girl back in the day.

He's an immature wannabes that drops his gun and runs away at the sign of a fight.

Not a stolen valor, but a poser you could say.
This is a picture of a picture from Lackland AFB from around 1988-89. I remember this picture as one of several in front of a "photo booth" place in one of the exchange areas used by tech school people. They had assorted props to get your picture taken with.

Um..no, you didn’t catch a poser. It appears you caught an embarrassing photo of your friends spouse playing dress up from when she was like 14, taken maybe 25 years ago.
I know this post is a bit older, but by posting it, you burnt your friend. I genuinely hope you posted it as a joke.
That said, there is nothing wrong with this photo. It is precisely awesome. She looks like she’s wearing what the kids from the original ‘Red Dawn’ movie would have chosen as a dress uniform during the invasion.
Awful beret. Check
Weird looking bandolier. Check.
Apparently early model M16, complete with short magazine. Check
Ill fitting uniform. Check
Flag tilting a few degrees off kilter to the right. Check
Smoldering gaze. Check.
Finger on the trigger. Check.
Red scarf. Check.
(Heck, it’s possible that this is her official photo for her junior high school stage production of ‘Red Dawn’)
As I stated, there is nothing wrong with this photo. It’s perfect.

“I thought this person is in some kind of civilian para military group. He is for sure not a veteran from our Armed Forces?”

They took these pictures at Lackland AFB in the early 1990s. I think I have a similar one with a couple of cop buddies from back in the day.
