I was thinking exactly what LTC (Join to see) just said RallyPoint Shared Content. While military phonies and wannabes have been around as long as war has been, Stolen Valor is a the latest buzzword or cliche. There is really no point in harassing someone who is on the streets begging for money. Chances are they have mental health issues and/or drug and alcohol problems.

We have them in Newport where I live, right outside the Navy base. I went by one the other day, homeless Vietnam vet. I saw one at another corner last year begging for money as I was pulling up to the intersection and as I wait for the light I watch him get into a van with Marine Corps veteran plates on it. I pity them rather than harass them. And if they are indeed veterans, there are programs to help them but many don't want to be helped.

I would much rather go after the ones who claim to be Medal of Honor recipients, SEALS or special forces, etc and the ones who actually rip off the government.

Two car loads of idiots is all this is...nothing to see here, just move along. Actually though, the screaming fool and what we can only assume is his old hag of a wife/girlfriend are the real jerkoffs in this video.

Exactly sir, exactly. I would like to see the credentials of some of these "Stolen Valor Hunters".

A little over the top for me. Seems like the latest witch hunt.
