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.

Numerous issues with his uniform, but to the untrained eye he could unfortunately play it off better than most of the other One-Delta-Ten-Tangos that I've seen around the web-news stealing valor. I'm glad he was exposed for being a fraud.

I am really starting to wonder how these Yahoo's are even able to obtain the uniform in the first place? Maybe DoD should look into who can actually sell it and who shouldn't

That would be a great idea, but nearly impossible to enforce if they tried. Between internet auction sites, yard sale sites, FB, etc, it's very easy. I'm in Germany right now and I saw a local national at the shopette just this morning wearing a PT jacket, unzipped, with his normal civilian attire. Something has got to give eventually.

Heck - I'm pretty sure you can buy complete ACUs, MultiCams, etc on eBay - I know I've seen gear on there that only service members are supposed to have.

He has already been busted by local authorities and they are looking into federal charges against him. Here is a quote from the local newspaper and a link to the article it was taken from.
"55-year-old Richard Arthur Rahn is behind bars in Kandiyohi County, charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm. Local authorities are forwarding their investigation to a federal prosecutor for possible action against Rahn for fraudulent use of a military uniform, insignia or medals."
