With the recent amount of stolen valor it is hard to keep up with all the different threads being posted here on RallyPoint. From this point forward if you have a stolen valor question, comment, and or post, then add it here. The posts that currently exist will stay, as we don't want to lose the already existing discussion content. If you have started a stolen valor post prior to this and wish to have it merged to this one then feel free to let me know and I will merge that for you. The initial post will be gone but the discussion content will be merged to this posting.

This is MUCH MUCH worse because civilians who impersonate military have never experienced the life of a military. They do not know the actual impact on us.... But someone who is in the military who is wearing medals they did not earn already know the impact on the military community when stolen valor comes into play.... To be betrayed by one of our own is sickening.
Yes it is, or at-least I feel it is worse than stolen valor. -not by much- It is unprofessional and a service member should have more discipline then this. I would say he should know better but so should the civilians committing the stolen valor. They know better they just choose to ignore it.
It is nothing more than stolen valor. No, he didn't earn the ribbons/medals. So it is nothing more than just that. While it sucks that it is one of our own, it doesn't make it worse.
