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...

I had on an old BDU blouse. I still have a few. Name tags and all. Opened down tithe front, jeans and 35 year old combat boots. Accused of stolen valor, by a young man who I did not question about his service. He told me of friends that had died. He wanted me to remove it and show respect. I told him, before you were born, there were other young men that took an oath. That were ready and willing to pay the price. That are still, 30 some odd years later that are still proud of that service. I will wear any portions of MY uniform in any configuration I see fit! I earned that right! Not all that are accused are guilty. Tread gently young soldier.

I've been seeing wannabees for the past 40 years. Not like they'll ever go away. I just shake my head and walk away. How can you pose with no audience?
