More wasted time and negative results. Again, work as hard maintaining your equipment as you do stirring up trouble and picking on people then we have made progress.

Ok, where do I begin. The reporter said he was in the army from 2003-2004, so that's one year. That tells me he was chaptered or discharged for punitive reasons. You cannot enlist for just one year. I did not see his uniform in the video but it said the AD guys noted his rank was upside down. I am guessing this guy was a prior service, had issues, got discharged and still has issues. I don't know why he had on the uniform but it got out of hand probably for no good reason. It is best to leave situations like this alone or do your best to handle it discreetly. No good can come out of anything like this and it is not worth fighting over. Say your piece and walk away.

Reporter said he served from FEBRUARY 2003 to AUGUST 2004. That would be 18 months and not a year. Seeing as I do not know the man and I am just a lowly E-5, that tells me that a lot could have happened in that 18 MONTHS. He could have been arrested on many charges. He could have been injured. He could have became an conscientious objector. OIF started in March of 2003...he could have been wounded and received a TBI.

Wait, so he was in and somehow completely forgot how to wear his Dress Greens? That doesn’t seem right.

I had seemed Active duty Soldier, wearing the brass insignias on the wrong side of the lapel US, and branch. Other Soldiers and even Officers wearing the awards on the wrong side f the uniform. Everyone has done this in the military career from ribbons upside down too, to the nameplate on the wrong side of the uninformed too. so if this person was a chapter or separated out of the services for any reason, he had earned the right to call himself veteran after Six months of active duty service.

I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have corrected the brass on brothers and sisters uniforms from 1980 to 2004....
