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.

Annnnnd, go...

About once every couple of months I see an obvious poser in public.

That's way too often Sir. We need to talk to these people and let them know they aren't fooling anybody.

The majority of these people have mental issues and I wouldn't be too concerned about.

Hey people, those that have done, have done. We know who we are and what we have done. Let's just get on with our lives with pride in ourselves. The rest, I wonder how they sleep at night.

As the operations manager of a large private security company, I hired an applicant who claimed to be a retired First Sergeant, SF, multiple tours in Vietnam, and several Purple Hearts. He presented a resume claiming that he spoke at the dedication of The Wall, at the Traveling Wall here in Colorado, at numerous schools, civic groups, and at several Guard and Reserve units.

He balked at getting a license which required a background and subsequently resigned.

I discovered about a year later that he was a fraud. His service consisted of boot, Switchboard Operator's course, and a 7 month tour in ROK. He wad also a convicted felon out of California.

Good thing he moved on as it could have caused lots of problems in terms of liability.
