When CSM Richard Rahn showed up at a benefit at the Willmar, MN VFW Post last summer, things just didn't seem to add up from the get go. For starters, here was Rahn, a decorated Command Sergeant Major from a distinguished Ranger Battalion, suddenly in town, dressed impressively in his ASUs, but still not looking, or acting, quite right.

I think all Stolen Valor cases should be prosecuted to the fullest extent. To see most of these individuals acting the part for personal gain with no respect for our brothers and sisters that have paid the ultimate price wearing the uniform. The very least we can do as Veterans, to honor our fallen, is to enforce the Stolen Valor law! I understand not all are in it for personal gain. For example, the "Marine SGT" (Craig Pusley) standing in front of the elementary school (Modesto, CA) in the wake of the Sandy Hook incident. He believed he was actually providing a service. Non the less, impersonators need to think twice before putting on the uniform and lacing up their boots to go walking around thinking they are someone they are truly not.

I found this video that was aired on TOSH.0 recently and his humorous yet serious take on Stolen Valor.
