So I saw my first military poser today at Wal-Mart of all places. Had Army ACUs, popped collar, what looked like a white turtleneck and Doc Marten's boots, patrol cap on indoors, no name tapes anywhere, Marine Corps Globe-and-Anchor on his pc, no unit patches and an American flag patch with no stars. I asked him what unit he was in, he responded with being an E-7 petty officer in the Navy.

I would have a huge problem with this. I'm a civilian who tried every possible Avenue to serve. I was in a bad accident as a child and it left me with disqualifying injuries. I greatly admire Amy who serve our country. A throat punch seems in order here.

Remember graduating basic, getting to wear your beret for the first time, calling someone battle, getting the respect of your superiors, peers and subordinates by working hard and being honest. I (we) had to earn that. Wether civilian law makers decide it is legal or not, this guy and those like him don't have a right to cheapen those memories. I am not going to be an ass to the guy, but I am not going to be okay with it either.
