What are your thoughts on civilians wearing part of a military uniform or military uniform-esque clothing?

I was rocking it out at the Halestorm and the Pretty Reckless concert in Nashville when I realized the guitarist from The Pretty Reckless was wearing an old Vietnam era OD green uniform jacket complete with sergeant stripes. Recently I've seem a trend in Urban Culture with people wearing military uniform style clothing. Is this wrong, disgraceful, or disrespectful to service members or is it just am acceptable fashion tend? Thoughts? To me personally it depends, but I still don't really like it.

I'm a civilians and I ware BDU to work. they last much longer the regular cargo pants. regular cargo pants only last me 3 to 4 mouths but BDU last me a year or more. I have a pair of BDU that are 10 years old that have no holes in them and I still ware them.

So long as there is no rank/nametapes/service tapes, etc... I view it as nothing more than clothing..

I have some coworkers who wear ACU, BDU, and/or multicam pants to work. Truth be told it irks me but they're all Veterans who earned the right to wear them. I don't know that makes it better or worse.
