How should we confront someone pretending to be in the military?

After watching the video entitled "Veteran Of 2/506th Calls Out Fake Ranger At Oxford Valley Mall" I feel conflicted. Did the Veteran of 2/506th do the right thing? I've been told since I joined that we are ambassadors in the community. I know that what's expected of me is probably different than that of a Veteran. How should I react?

You need to be a defender of your brothers' and sisters' honor. We defend the rights of all, but impersonating one of us, especially for personal gain, is illegal.

I think I would take a bit more subtle approach, especially with the swearing in font of his son. At the end, he seemed like a lunatic as the poser walked away. That said, the idiot got what he deserved. Too bad we can't start a poser registration site.

There are actually a couple of poser sites out there, one of them is ran by a retired Navy seal. Pretty interesting, I did not know it was so widespread.

I see people in formation every day that are only pretending to be Soldiers. Not only do they disrespect the uniform, but they discredit us by not living up to the army values.

This a problem of mentoring. Those with the privilege to lead have a responsibility to the services to mentor those who can learn what it is to be among America's best and to remove those who can't.
