We briefly discussed how many of us think we could have handled the situation better, but I didn't see anything in the video that made for cause of the true veterans to be arrested and kicked off campus. The Blaze, has both videos here. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/03/17/i-am-a-united-states-fin-ranger-this-guy-is-not-things-get-heated-when-two-vets-confront-man-wearing-military-clothing/
Be aware that local campus police and school administration won't necessarily have your back. In some cases, you're going to be the one who gets punished for calling out imposters. Luckily various organizations like stolen valor, are picking up this case...and I'm sure the true veterans will receive support.
I was angry about the imposter....but the 3 campus police officers arresting the veteran for "making a scene", and barring him from campus....makes me outright livid.

Seeing this post is shocking to many as the veteran said; he had battle buddies who he served with die who were Rangers. As a Soldier, whether Junior ranking, NCO, or Officer, how would you handle a situation like this? Speaking with some guys in my unit, many say they would have went off on this fake. Others say they would have called the police for this situation. Have you recently came across any fakes or knew someone that did? In my opinion, I would have definitely confronted this fake professionally as it is a disgrace to many other service members who served and lost someone close to them. whats your take on this? Do you think the veteran's position was correct in this situation? Let keep it professional.
U.S. Army Veterans spot and confront a fake Soldier wearing MSG Rank and Ranger Tab. After watching the video, what would you have done different?
