The guy has issues. Leave him alone. Drop the stolen valor BS and stop screwing with people. You are doing no one any favors and you end up looking like an ass. Kids playing Army is not a big deal and they really do not understand your passion so just leave them alone.

Yeah- this is one I would have let be. Can't help but wonder about the reference to his older brother.

Definitely overboard. The kid wasn't wearing rank, he wasn't claiming to have a Purple Heart of Medal of Honor. The guy yelling at him sounds like John Goodman from The Big Lebowski.

I have a friend that constantly gets all up in arms about "stolen valor" and he expects me to do the same. Frankly, I could not care any less that there are so many people out there that wanna throw on a uniform and get some high fives from people. Many people forget that "stolen valor" only comes into play if they are using their fake service to gain something of value (i.e. discounts, free stuff, money, etc). In all honesty, I actually feel pity for these guys who obviously have nothing else in this world to be proud of so they have to play the part of service member to feel good about themselves. Just let the weirdos play army or whatever and go about your day. What do we gain from getting these guys on video and busting them? Nothing really. Just another video of some poor schmuck getting dug into by some guy who thinks he is high speed. Give it a rest, boys...

Exactly. It only matters what is in your own heart. If you served, be proud. If there are fakers around you, most will know who is real.

Listen ...
This guy isn't trying to steal any kind of "Valor"...
He's not wearing some decked out uniform full of patches or medals trying to catch a "free ride"
He likes the outfit, it's something that obviously he admires from his brother and he likes to wear it.
As soldiers your job isn't to try to stand out and make yourself special and above others ..it's to stand up for those Who can't.
This video does nothing but make real soldiers look like entitled assh*les.
Relax
It's a f*cking cameo uniform that honestly AnyOne can buy or find at Any Goodwill store in the country.
....just saying....
