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.

I agree with the gentlemen above, Lieutenant Martin and Major Petrarca. There's a definitive difference in wearing something to...lets say augment your paintball/airsoft/milsim kit, and then there's abusing what you haven't earned. I have had the same experience with some of my friends and while it irks me, I know that they mean no harm and I watch them remove the patches when we leave the course.
Is it a tad disrespectful? Yes. Is it Stolen Valor if they're just trying to get into the role? I would say no. As long as they toe the line and don't abuse it, like with what we saw the fake Ranger do over the holiday weekend, I don't see any permanent harm in it. That's just me though.

I think there is a definite distinction between what your friends are doing and people out there making claims for personal gain or notoriety. Wearing real life patches is a touchy subject especially Ranger or SF tabs or skill badges but so long as its only on the paintball course and not out in public for a beer, if it were me I'd let it slide, but others may not be as forgiving, and I wouldn't blame them.

Roger that Major. I used to wear a Ranger Tab before I joined. I got set straight. I've warned them against wearing the patches. I'm cool with a flag or your name. But when it's 101st or 1st I/D and Ranger/SF or Airborne and Combat Infantry badges, I lose my shit about it sometimes. Thanks for the suggestions Major.

His unit pins arn't on his shoulders, he has a infantry cord but no infantry disc's, his name plate isnt centered and most importantly most infantry has a hell of alot more ribbons than that especially for someone who claims to have been in for atleast 30 yrs, what a joke, If your going to impersonate then take the time to get the uniform right and stop making us current and also veterans look less than what we are! hooah!
