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.

As much as I disagree with any individual wearing a uniform that I served as a fashion statement, we all must remember that every limitation of freedom degrades what we fight for in the first place. I served 16 years and three combat deployments. It frustrates me as much as the next guy. However, it frustrates me more when I see soldiers, Marines, sailors and airmen so easily offended at something so insignificant. It's not as if they can put on a uniform and gain access to the military installation or veteran affairs accommodation. We know who they are and we can spot them a mile away. Be grateful that we live in a country that is free enough that people can wear whatever the fuck they want.

I wear a CPO pin on my hat. To honor my grandfather who was a chief Machinist Mate. I do not claim to be a CPO.
