I'm curious on the community's thoughts about Stolen Valor. I have a number of friends who play Airsoft, paintball, etc. and they will wear morale patches on a uniform bought from eBay or somewhere like that. And they'll buy and wear Army unit patches, (101st Airborne, Ranger Tabs, U.S Army Service tapes, Army rank) and I know they haven't earned these ranks or tabs and don't belong to these units, and I ask them to remove the patches due to the fact they didn't earn them. But half of the time they will refuse saying it's their patch and they bought it so they can wear whatever they want to on the uniform. I'm not trying to be a total dick about it, but I've got family who've died wearing those unit patches and some died wearing a Ranger Tab, and other service tabs/patches. I'm not trying to be a total dick but I dont like it when people who haven't served put on those uniforms and patches just to play some paintball in. Or period if they haven't earned the patch. Any ideas?
