I’m a disabled infantry combat veteran and I don’t care one iota about posers, fashionistas or head cases. I only care about those who are profiting from their deceptions or who claim ownership of protected awards like the Medal of Honor, Silver Star, Bronze Star, Combat Infantryman’s Badge, etc.
It’s pointless and frankly an embarrassment to see some of these younger veterans confronting people over bullshit.
Wearing some camo isn’t stolen valor. Telling tall tales isn’t stolen valor. Claiming veterans benefits is. Claiming veterans discounts is. The key phrase in the stolen valor act of 2013 is “with intent to obtain money, property, or other tangible benefit”.
For the most part, I agree with you....but I do take acceptation to people claiming they have completed difficult schools like BUDS, Ranger, Dive school, est. These school are difficult and typically command respect, even among other military personnel. I completed Navy Dive School in little creek VA in 91. (91012C was my class number) The attrition rate was over 90%...typical rate for Special Warfare school. I earned my dive pin when so many others quit training, or were too scared to start in the first place. When I see a poser wearing a ranger tab, or a trident, or a crab, or a dive pin, Its a slap in the face to all of us who embraced the suck. Stolen Valor, or pretending to be a veteran is not a trivial thing. The more people do it, the more it trivializes the sacrifices my brothers and sisters have made in defense of the constitution and this country. Also, lets not forget that the people typically doing this are not up to the standards the veterans would like to portray. Their uniforms are incomplete, and not worn correctly, most look like soup sandwiches which is how they get caught in the first place. What happens when Joe public finally realizes the fake soldier they are talking too is full of shit? He starts to not trust any person claiming to be a veteran. We all lose. And for the record, I retired as an Army Officer. And for the record: 10 USC § 771 - Unauthorized wearing prohibited
Except as otherwise provided by law, no person except a member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps, as the case may be, may wear- (1) the uniform, or a distinctive part of the uniform, of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps; or (2) a uniform any part of which is similar to a distinctive part of the uniform of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps.
I feel the same way. I've heard just as many tall tales from some vets as I have from the posers. These posers aren't bothering me. But if they're posing for financial gain, that's just wrong.
Agree with you sir, not worth getting your face rearranged, for an accusation. A real soldier doesn't have to call out fakes, he knows hes done his bit.
MandM Milling Late reply but here we go. I agree with you and I wish the law included the tabs and pins for schools, courses and training with the high attrition rates as you describe.
On a similar note- I’m old school. I actually believe the Supreme Court got it wrong on flag burning. That’s because it’s not just some arbitrary symbol to be used as a political prop. Countless soldiers actually died defending the flag and when they fell another soldier came behind them, picked the flag up, and kept going till they were killed and over and over and over again. It deserves special protection but has none. It saddens me.
Sir I want to thank you for your service. But as someone who has, bought meals for vets , bought gas for vets , thank them with a firm handshake and eye contact .
I would be very upset to know I did that for someone who is lying about such an act . Like fighting for our country.
And I mean absolutely no disrespect!
So please know again , thank you & you are more strength then I can even imagine .
I grew up with on Base, my father was in the AF .. he retired MSgt. 24 years at Hill .
So my hands will respect the service .
This is considered stolen valor? Wtf. The last guy didn't claim anything.
And the second guy showed a veteran card, and they still uploaded it as stolen valor? wtf.
I agree with you, seems like some people take it too far.
I'm not American, but I did serve in the army, but it really looks like some people take it way too far.
Some people think wearing anything camo is automatic stolen valor. Which is really stupid.
No he said talk to the district attorney and flashed that card not that it was a v.a card and also if you be pause it.nit looks nothing like any of the v.a cards issued.
@@christianallen4898 no he didn't. He said tell that to the VA. Don't tell me what I didn't earn.
And that card is a legit VA card. Whether it was his or not is the question. It was a quick flash but the card is legit.
4:02 - The dude is just enjoying his jacket. Even produced a VA ID card... It’s NOT stolen valor. The guy is a actual veteran to have that ID card. If he wants to wear his jacket then let the man wear his jacket. I don’t care if he was drafted in an only served the minimum term in whatever era and was just a cook on base in somewhere like Camp Pendleton. He proved he served so he has the right to wear his jacket. The guy that was giving him a hard time should have stopped and apologized after he was showed his VA ID card.
The fucker didn't know shit about the uniform he was wearing. Regardless of being drafted I think you'd remember where the fuck you got your cord from.
I'll tell you why he didn't reply, because he felt too ashamed after he pulled out his card. Then the video ends Immediately what a coincidence hahaha He definitely fucked up lol And I was waiting for somebody to ask about this I thought that was ridiculous as well
Christian Field he's old bro he could have dementia for All we know
Brad Weaver, the dude covered the picture on the va card with his thumb.
Brad Weaver you do realize there's such thing as photo shop where you can make a fake identification card our alter one . He's not a real Veteran. He said he served during the Korean War in the 1970's. The Korean War tuck place in the 1950's. They wore a Kaki Service Uniform back than . He's wareing a Vietnam War Era Olive Drab Service Alpha. Look at Elvis Presley that will give you a hint. He's wareing a Service Uniform that came out 20 years after the Korean War Era . He's also wareing E-3 Private First Class rank and he's like 70 years old only a idiot would do something like that. The Army dosent go to Camp Pendleton CA that's a Marine Corps base .
4:00 dude got owned and didn't know what to say so he stopped recording out of all the stolen valor vids I watched that old timer is the only one who had a va card
That same thing happened to me and when I showed the guy my veteran ID card I was accused of forgery. I think some of the people making these accusations are just bored, or bullies watch a group of them. It reminds me of a pack of coyotes on a deer.
@Stephanie Marie yes he did
I love that video
3:50 Yeah,I'm sure there are several U.S. penitentiaries chock full of SV convicts. 5:00 Do real veterans actually walk around with DD214 in their pocket?
Reckon she is a disabled veteran? Uh
@@thomassullins8690 no she flashed a dependent card 😂🤡
First dude grew a full beard after being on leave for 4 days. Seems legit 😂😂😂
People can do that lol
I can grow a beard like that. I need to shave everyday.
Some grow beards quick tho
Listen I'm not going to sit here and read comments that disrespect Call of Duty Veterans
Hahahahahaha
8:50 he's just harassing a dude wearing a camo jacket
When you click on a vid to see stolen valor, but its really just losers yelling at people for wearing camo
Lol one time I got yelled at for wearing a surplus field jacket with no markings on it
I can picture them yelling at kids wearing sailor outfits as a Halloween costume.
- Hey, what's your MOS?
- Those aren't standard shoes!
- I HAD BROTHERS DIE IN THAT UNIFORM! STOLEN VALOUR!
Well the guy at the pharmacy might have been stolen valor if he was getting a discount on his prescription by claiming he is active military.
YEP these guys are gonna get in deep shet for doung this to peoplpe wearing clothes you can buy over the internet
That “us infantry soldier” that got his cord on honor hill got plunked when dude pulled out the VA card. Strange they didn’t show the rest.
Yup, EXACTLY!!
FOR REAL
That's not a VA card.
Just so everyone knows just wearing pieces of a Military uniform isn't Stolen Valor, example the last video that's not considered Stolen Valor. when you are wearing the entire uniform and attempt to pass yourself off as a Military service member to obtain some sort of entitlements or courtesy then it is stolen valor. reason being is because it became a first amendment issue.
Then why do you think they wear it for? I've busted a few frauds trying to get veteran discounts, but I never make it a big deal. I just made them feel guilty for their actions and moved on.
at times i wear the whole thing and wear it right but as i said above im in slicks and jus tell folks "hey i was in the woods" huntin or playin airsoft. i dont try to pass myself off as anything but wearing camo in the country.
the stolen valor act was an acted in 2005. ruled unconstitutional in 2012 by the US Supreme Court. rewritten in 2013 by Congress. it in title 18 USC section 704.
If you catch them trying to get a discount or talking about their fake service then that is different. The guy in the last video did not do any of that.
those kids insulting that dude because he is joining the military and he looked up what his job is going to be. they are that confused.
What did the last guy do exactly? He was wearing a military jacket not claiming anything. The kid that confronted that guy is a complete tool
I am an active duty soldier. Most of these are not stolen valor. Civilians can wear a uniform, you can modify a uniform as a veteran, you can wear pieces of the uniform 'incorrectly' (like the air force coat guy) as a civilian... The guy in the drug store may have been trying to falsely represent himself as a soldier, that is the only violation here.
Nah, you're not a active duty soldier
The last guy wasn’t saying he was a veteran he was just wearing camo outfit ,and on top of that he didn’t look like he was in the best state of mind
I am trying to get these guys to stop harrasing folks for wearing fatigues. THey are gonna get in some deep trouble if they bother people wearing uniforms. UNLESS they have evidence that a person wearing any Miltary or even a Law Enforcement uniform (Minus Active patches) then ) is using that uniform to gain access or special discounts.
That last guy wasn't stolen valor. He didn't have any patches on and he wasnt claiming to be in the military.
It may have been stolen American Apparel though
America military is just like bloods an crips
Jean Paul No you can buy Military surplus anywhere
Got spit on trying to be a tough guy. and for what
He was llama
5:08 “I’m a disabled veteran” and then flashes dependent ID card 😂
2:42 was a legit veteran, even had a legit V.A. card. That's not stolen valor.
@Stephanie Marie He did...
STOLEN VALOOOOOR!!!😱
@@FukcAUsername you're an idiot.
He pulled out some random card we couldn't see for a half a second, it could've been a Target gift card.
@@cleverusername9369 I saw it, its a va card. Looks exactly the same as mine. DUMBASS
I'm ex military. I was a space shuttle gunner, and fought during the second invasion of mars. I earned twenty medals of honor and was declared hero of the soviet union. All Im looking for is a little respect for my service.
The space force was real all along
Thank you for the Service!!!
I was there too but got no medals because I'm too good 😐.
Nyet. Rifle is fine.
You got the order of Lenin
I think some of these “experts” need to go back & learn what Stolen Valor actually is, before they start calling people out on it.
Ikr they r the real phony’s acting like they above the law
It has been a trend of younger vets to bully people just for wearing camo.
@@alanluscombe8a553 Like I said before only the younger veterans do this. The vets in their 40s and up don’t. It’s like they’re bringing the modern day social media bullying , cancel culture mentality just to make themselves feel more entitled ,privileged and important for being veterans. . I wish they would just be more mature being that their veterans. if they wanna do something important they should volunteer for the various veteran groups out there
@@ShawnHall well said
As a 25 year Army Veteran I will say none of this is stolen valor. Does not matter who you are if you buy stuff at a military surplus or thrift store you can wear it. As long as you are not trying to gain financially or receive free goods or services it is perfectly okay. As a veteran I fought for the rights of these people. Hell if they wanna wear some clothes and are doing nothing wrong I see it as an honor.
Lol i know , i was thinking damn all the thrift shops around and military stores around here wouldn't be making to much money if they sold to military only lol...
RIGHT ON 👍
Imagine what has to be going on in a person's mind to fabricate military service with no intent of personal gain. They literally just want to feel important for a little while.
Stolen valor is wrong, but there's no nobility in harassing the mentally ill.
For once, a voice of reason on this emotional topic. Imitating a vet is part and parcel of freedom of speech, and so long as no laws are broken such conduct is protected by the Constitution.
"& before i was a tank commander, i was Ironman!"
The guy got awfully quiet after the VA card came out...
In just got served big time.
And they still uploaded the clip, too
Fake VA card. Faker ran away.
As a vet, I know exactly what the stolen valor act/law is. Seems like these other vets recording (not a lot are confirmed that they are on camera) seem to know what the hell the law actually states and in the end makes themselves look like idiots right along side of the people they’re accusing.
To be fair, I'm not 100% sure the last one constitutes 'Stolen Valor'.
Since the first (Bush Era) Stolen Valor was set aside by the Supreme Court as a violation of Free Speech, the second (Obama Era) version required the offender to be seeking to obtain financial gain.
Wear a "fake uniform" is OK. Wear a "fake uniform" and get a discount on a McCheese and it is a criminal Offense.
If he wasn’t wearing the hat then it would not be
He was wearing fuckin shorts and black apparel shirt 😐
same here
Gage Westerhouse I agree.. I didn't think so either.
Not all Vets have VA cards some of us got out and started careers with real health insurance !
Bob Bobbalina exactly
I hear that
All vets get issued a VA card, whether you want it or use it is up to you.
@@steveross9
Does not mean you carry it in your wallet, obviously. Are you dense?
@@Bollibompa Not sure if you are trying to insult me or not. Let me know and I will respond appropriately!
It is not illegal to wear camo. Just sayin.
These guys are crazy SJW's that's all. The stolen valor law has been ruled to a unconstitutional by several courts already anyhow.
@@mailmallett only if they have the cloth on, it's illegal to claim military & receive benefits from it, many people have been charged & convicted one guy who had a whole security training business who claimed he was a seal to get people to join.
@MightyMischa
No one said it was illegal.
i wore my jungle fateigues on halloween once to a party
@@PurPsCapiN it depends if you have patches. You don't have to say you were in but if you have patches like Airborne or a unit patch, it's illegal
5:32 - "No DD214 or anything..." Do people really carry around their DD214? That's pretty lame.
I do.
Not everyone does.
I wouldn't carry around my DD214 unless I needed it for a specific purpose that day. It is silly to carry it around every day, just get a VA card or a Veteran designation on your driver's license.
I dont.
I don't, lol. I just have a few pictures and stories, but nothing real official with me at all time
The people recording are more pathetic than the so called "stolen valour" people.
if you are going to call someone out on stolen valor get your facts straight. the korean war ended in like 1953.
Not true, the Korean War never ended.
Hats off to yall calling these wanabes out. I lost both legs as a baby. Left above knee n right clear to hip. I lost them in a train accident at 9 months old. My dad got hurt too. Anyway i get told all the time thank you for my service. I politley explain i was not in military and explain what happened. I would never never say i was hurt in iraq. Never. My son served in iraq i have too much respect for veterans. He was in boot camp in benning and was in a stryker brigade based outa ft lewis. Much respect to yall that served....
When I guy tries to impress a girl by saying he was in the Marine Corps...
PLOT TWIST: She's a real Marine vet! lmao
@Arthur Scott from my experience with friends and family that are real vets, they rarely talk about it also.
@@Bassboy1987 That's usually the easiest way to distinguish a poser from the real McCoy of any profession, particularly those where honor and discipline is emphasized. I'm not military myself, but I know enough to know that actual enlisted men & women view their careers as a service to their country, not a bragging right to be paraded around in public.
Do real veterans have bragging rights? Of course. They earned them.
I impress girls saying I'm an Antifa. Works all the time....
At first I had to watch the whole video because I thought she was getting checked lol
As for the second guy there actually was fighting on the DMZ in the late 60's against NK infiltrators, just like he said. And Infantry AIT wasn't exclusive to Ft Benning at that point (I got my blue cord in 1988). Yes he had extra crap on his Class A jacket but he may have actually been telling the truth about Korea.
The second he pulled out his VA card there should've been an apology
I got mine in 1988 from Harmony Church. RIP Harmon Church.
Is it really that weird for a vet from that era to slap some extra patches on his OLD AF jacket?
Cameraman got schooled
@@BusterScruggsss That's not a VA car. It doesn't look anything like mine.
The last guy accusing stolen valor for a camo jacket is a sad man, total tool. He instigated the whole scene.
I want to see a stolen valor comp of civil war reenactors.
Second dude is one of the men who stare at goats! He's legit. Just a little fried lol
One time I saw a baby wearing a camo shirt with USMC printed on it. I immediately pulled out my phone, walked up to the stroller and started recording. I asked him what his MOS was and he didn't answer me. I then asked what rank he was, and again I was met with silence. I told him that I had friends die wearing that uniform and that I couldn't believe he had the balls to impersonate a marine like that. Then for some reason the mother started screaming at me, and told me I was scaring him. I told her that if he didn't want to get yelled at, then he shouldn't be wearing that uniform, when he didn't earn it. I can't believe there are people defending these Stolen Valor people smh.
That first lady, her 'mmmmhmm', was like 'go on, dig yourself deeper'.
😄😄😄👌👍👍
The one with the teenagers made me feel like I was in 9th grade again lol.
I met so many military wanna bes there 😂😂
Some guy in my class said he'll join the "Black Ops"
Went to school with that guy he was in talks with military and did join military
@@OmegaDelta459 the dude in the video??
@@cosmicdarkmatter1128 yep nice huy bit odd and all over the place
@@OmegaDelta459 did he get that military job he wanted? He obviously wanted pretty bad cause he was talking like he already did all that lol
All I see is a bunch of people harassing other people for wearing camo! Please look up the legal definition of Stolen Valor. None of these examples came close to violating the law. Although some of the people making the videos are pushing for a harassment charge.
The one in the store, it's possible they watched him get a discount since they were right behind him as he checked out. That is an example that comes close.
It's you fraud-supporters who supports these FAKEtriots that makes it extremely difficult to attain VA benefits for the ones who factually SERVED.
Thank you sir! I wish the rest if these fools were as smart as you! They took the stolen valor act and made a mockery of it!! This shit is going to get someone hurt one day!!
TheScottSpot 3:22 thats camo🤔
@@unreal4010 No, that's not camo, but an ill-fitted army-ish uniform. Not sure if by wearing it he is really fooling anyone or really gaining anything from anyone. The Stolen Valor Act of 2013 makes it a federal crime to fraudulently claim to be a recipient of certain military decorations or medals in order to obtain money, property, or other tangible benefit. There doesn't seem to be any "tangible benefit" to these people dressing as they are. It does however underscore the public's need to be vigilant in who we give any money to and know a little bit about our countries military.
How is that kid at 7:00 in the Military if he look like he has been growing his hair for 2 years
That second dude is awesome, he's drunk or high smoking a cigarette could care less what some young prick has to say who approached him and he ends the confrontation... not the conversation... the confrontation with " dont sit there and tell me what i didn't earn" as he flashes his man card.
If someone spits on me im taking at least two teeth
If some-one spits on me I'l just go the other way.
He deserved it.
@@tabby956 Why ?
What if that person is 6'8'' and 280 pounds? You mean that you would be giving him your teeth? Because you would sure as hell not be able to do anything.
@@Bollibompa Donk from Crocodile Dundee.
Meanwhile I change in my car so I don't have to go somewhere in uniform because I don't want the attention
dude second guy had a legit VA card wtf
The second guy had ID. I’m not sure why he didn’t know about his uniform ....
Haha he's old you'll find out...
If I were wearing BDU'S or any parts of a uniform and the last kid talked to me like that he would be pushing. I would make him strong. Lol. Most of these people have no clue what stolen valor is.
I wore a MARPAT cammie jacket one time I bought from the thrift shop along with a pair of jeans. I had some old geezer start yelling in my face about being stolen valor and how I was disrespecting his "brothers". I made it clear I wasn't active or prior service and he didn't hear me because he was too bust yelling. He grabbed my jacket so I punched him out on the street and in court the DA said quote "He deliberately attacked and wounded a veteran of this countries military for calling him out on pretending to be in the service" Needless to say that old slob left court with a frown and a fractured orbital.
Hit Me Instead of Your Kid sounded like the DA sided with him, why frown?
Because he lost the case hahaha
shut up
^ Found the guy
Hit Me Instead of Your Kid nice.
The last guy is just wearing a jacket, no patches or ranks. I have my own military jacket, now I'm worried about wearing it in public
3:37 IM SO 💀 that old vet just served that young vet 😂.
Stolen Valour is a disgrace, but at the end of the day you need to draw a line when to scream Stolen Valour. A guy carrying a camo or military style backpack is not SV. A guy wearing camos without any patch, name tag and has other things on like basketball cap or runners like @8:30 is not called SV. A guy that is just story telling and claims he was or currently is in the military is not SV, if a guy is in full military attire and has on all his patch, ranking, medals etc and is walking around claiming he is/was serving is Stolen Valour.
Doesn’t SV mean if your in full uniform, with patches etc and are using it for monetary gains then its called stolen valour? If I’m wrong somebody let me know. Cheers
No you're right
Stolen Valor Act of 2013 - Amends the federal criminal code to rewrite provisions relating to fraudulent claims about military service to subject to a fine, imprisonment for not more than one year, or both an individual who, with intent to obtain money, property, or other tangible benefit
I'd say that you are correct.
2ID did wear a light blue lanayrd in Korea. I was a 12B stationed at camp howze 44th ENG BT part of the 2ID. we were issued a blue lanyard to wear over the shoulder. It is the presidential unit citation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_Unit_Citation_(United_States)
Although I hate stolen valor! Picking on a veteran is not ok.
The ribbon your referring to is A patch and the Blue ribbon is square, and also dark blue square on a patch at that.. The Presidential Unit Citation (PUC), originally called the Distinguished Unit Citation, isn't what that guy was wearing , he had some west point E2 bs on with hippy peace bs on for patches, that guy was not a vet , gas lighting us into trying to think he was is also shady chief
Unfortunately no matter where you go these idiots will never know what it’s like to lose family or friends in combat.✌️✌️✌️
Lee Grant you don’t need to be in the military to lose family or friends who served..
Like the great donald trump said "you knew what you signed up for"...
Jacob McGinnis I understand what you’re saying I truly do but what I’m saying is when you get some idiot who pretends either in the military to get discount and to get help that isn’t right and now you don’t have to have friends or family who did in the Armed Forces to lose somebody who is close to you’ Best wishes to you.
iMarketLive Gang someone who never served in his life, mmm
And what about the families of those who are killed through so called "friendly fire" and "collateral damage". And let's not forget those "heroes" responsible for the Mỹ Lai Massacre in Viet-Nam. You're right, these idiots will never know what it’s like to lose family or friends in combat.
The kid in #2 most likely just signed on the line with a recruiter. He is simply repeating the promises made by the recruiter.
I know this kid and he went on to serve three years in the U.S Army and is doing a hell of a job as a combat engineer
@@jaybrown1456 seriously?
So...When I was kid I dressed up like superheroes, as I looked up to them. This...Just seems to be a distortion of the same adoration that we've all had to figures we admired. I can't excuse claiming to have served, however simply wearing camo (without attempting to pass as Military) is flattery by way of imitation.
Champagne Shots This has to do with people buying fake uniforms for various discounts, and it is illegal
Think that one of the major differences is that if you were asked if you were batman, you would have likely said no. It is the people who lie that make it so disrespectful. The conversations would be a lot less hostile if the “imposters” simply admitted that they only admired veterans and were not attempting to benefit from the uniform.
@@Turk3ybon3 It is not illegal to purchase a military uniform. It is not illegal to purchase unit patches, flag, medals, ribbons, awards. It becomes illegal when you combine all the above, claim service and awards and honors not performed with the sole purpose of monetary gain or privileges given to veterans. Period.
@@Helo1able I know, I said it has to do with people buying uniforms for discounts at various stored, I never said its Illegal to buy a uniform or patches.
Good evening everyone from Scotland UK i just want to say god bless all our vetrans past and present may thay all rest in peace
The second Guy was legit. He even produced his VA card.
He wasn't right. U never wear your uniform after u ETS.
@Constantin Militaru People in the comments are saying he has dimentia, but is otherwise legit.
@@stayfrosty6290 Well you never met the guy
@MIimo Reii Well I'm also taking about comments that you've never read yourself either, hmm? I'm just regurgitating what other people are saying, so I don't know why you're trying to argue with me.
I served in the navy as an E-3 airmen as a aviation boatswains mate ABH. Though I know stolen valor is out there and it is real, you still need to know what you are talking about before you decide to bash someone on something you dont have a clue about. The last guy was wearing camo. It’s not a crime. Also the guy who had his jacket on and provided the camera guy with his VA card that camera dude needs to be ashamed of himself. Know what you are talking about before you decide to go off on these people. But keep these videos up, stolen valor is something that needs to eliminated!
Since when does a person need to provide a DD-214 to someone nut chasing him?
Michael Borawski I retired from the USMC in 2017....Never knew I was supposed to carry my DD-214 around with me. 🤷♂️
@@williammichaelloushin3727 With some of these "stolen valor hunters", they want to see your ID, CAC card, VA card, DD-214. But funny story, my father was a WW2 veteran. When he passed going thru his wallet he had mini copies of his DD-214, honorable discharge and his draft card. But he never had a VA card. Why he carried these for 60+ years is anyone guess.
Double check the details of the stolen valor law..
People act like the FBI will show up with ATV's and Helicopters hahahaha
Master of Sales I will look but for now can you tell me?
The Stolen Valor Act makes it illegal to pretend to be a service member or veteran to obtain benefits or discounts. Just wearing the uniform or telling stories isn’t illegal, it just makes you a piece of shit.
black manta usually you need to provide a military Id or a veterans card
Irate Puffin p
Sadly most of this is a mental health issue. What use is snapping a guys neck?? A true Warrior shows compassion and strength.
Funny thing is after all that big talk he got spit on and did nothing lmao
I love watching these.
Imagine pro football players walking up to fans wearing jerseys and accusing them of "stolen fame." I feel like a lot of these "tough guys" with cameras have some issues of their own. Maybe they never got the fight they signed up for. Wear your valor with pride.. none of these morons can steal that from you, there is no such thing as stolen valor unless you actually credit these pricks of being capable of taking it from you.
If they are making money from it then call cops.. If not call mental health
And if they are real, call them murderers.
#2 Right around the 5:40 mark, the kid isnt doing anything close to stolen valor. Hes in the Delayed Entry Program, just a bit misled on some of the info on things 12Bravos do. The other kids in the video are just bullies picking on the awkward kid.
Coachuhhar at least he, unlike many others said his MOS.
Poor kid went to my high school, he wasn't lieing about shit. He was always picked on
Yeah was about to say I know very well he's not lying cause I went to MEPS around a month ago and got my job which is 25 Bravo Information Technology Specialist and I know the Army guarantees you a job cause just like this kid I'm in high school waiting to go to BCT. I've heard it all from recruiters to the staff at MEPS.
He sounds like every actual 12B I've seen, "I diffuse bombs, I diffuse grenades." HAHAHA!
Not to say 12B don't have a purpose, but I'm Army EOD (89D) and I actually do that shit, so classic.
Yeah, they asked “how you gonna get to Michigan when you live in North Carolina?” Like oh idk, maybe drive or fly his ass to his duty station. Then said “how you gonna get to war?” Probably gonna get flown in like literally any other military member that’s been deployed. Hate to see people picked on like that.
"You tell the VA !! How dare u question my legitimacy..."Guy rips out his blockbuster video card & shows the back of it for half a sec then puts it back in his wallet Lol
I'm glad to see some vets coming on here and saying it's getting a bit much
Who carry’s their DD214 to CVS though
That kid in the 4th video makes sense. A buddy of mine signed a contract in May of his graduating year as an Infantryman. Therefore, when he graduated the next month, he was already employed in the military. He didn’t claim to have gone to war, or even done basic training, but as long as a contract is signed, he is a combat engineer
That bunch of bullies in that classroom was as bad, if not worse than the imposter.
Unless you obtain services or money it neither illegal to wear or claim to be a US veteran.
thanks to these videos it’s becoming much easier to spot the fakes
why you always lying??? 6:59
I had an army coat jacket before... had pixel type of camo... Kept me pretty warm during winter time.. nice jacket.
Harsh Gadley I use my NWU TYPE I JACKET FROM SEA CADETS WITH MY NAME TAPE ON IT KEEPS ME VERY WARM THEN A REGULAR JAKET.
Lmao damn that guy wareing a Air Force ABU blouse with Army UCP Trousers and a Marine Corps piss cover .
Technically impersonating a soldier is not illegal but saying that you are one to get certain things is very illegal
so, your saying, if i wanted to impersonate as someone in the military , I could sneak on base and just start training with the rest of the men and women of the military as long as im not getting anything for it im all good? lol i think not my fine sir , i think not..
5:24 He’s also wearing his cover inside of a facility.
First thing that jumped out at me.
That one guy showed his VA card....he wasn't lying
I got military at my house and sheriff uploader app. That last one was hard up for action.
i was a general in the civil war and flew bombers
Same bro
None of these are stolen valor. They were not trying to gain monetary and that is the key. Us prosecutors will tell you the same.
The money comes from the RUclips video monetization of thes fools and fakes
#3 is
Just because the legally prosecutable definition of stolen valor has changed over time doesn't mean that they aren't doing what it was originally intended to mean.
The term "Stolen Valor" still applies whether they are able to be prosecuted or not. If you screw a 12 year old in the Vatican where its legal to do so you are STILL a pedophile even though its legal there.
Thank you with the utmost gratitude to everyone who is now serving and has ever served. And I appreciate calling out imposters who perpetrate and steal respect and honor they never earned through blood, sweat, tears and guts. Maybe it’s not technically a violation of the Stolen Valor statute if there is no monetary benefit, but I would argue that it violates the spirit of the law. Respectfully, a proud Air Force brat whose father served as a Captain during the Vietnam War. And yes, I’m leaving the same comment everywhere. It can’t be said enough. Don’t bother replying with crap. Don’t care.
"Why you always lyin', stop f**kin' lyin'...you're always lyin' to me, you been lyin' so much'... you're making it hard for me." hahaha
Back in 1988 we had a guy going home on leave and while in the airport....our Battalion XO saw this dude heading back to GA, he had only been in for over a year. The XO noticed he had on our unit patch with airborne tab, jump boots, E-7, medal after medal, on and on....the only problem was our unit was not airborne, the XO new every E-7 in the Battalion....he didn't make it home on leave. He did get to go to on vacation at Ft Leavenworth Kansas for 10 years though. They gave him a new MOS, 11-Break big rocks into small rocks.
Yeah no this didn't happen lol. Well maybe y'all saw a dude pretending to be a dude disguised as another dude...but he definitely didn't get 10 years for no stolen valor bro lmao wtf?
THIS VID IS DOO DOO.... the majority of them wasn't even stolen valor.
I agree.
One was a kid in high school!!!!!
I’m a U.S. marine sea lion and my rank is attack helicopter
Woah one of those is at my old high school 😂 Maiden High NC
Jackie's husband here . I'm not sure about the other services, but back when I served in the Navy 83-87, we couldn't wear our working uniform (dungarees) off base.
Thats good
I think you have a lawful right to disable that dudes spitter? but seriously, who knows what is going on in the minds of some of these fellas. it's a case by case issue, I pay little attention to most of them.
last dude spit and probably died after that XD
I really can’t stand when non military people call these people out. Mind your own damn business and let a real vet take care of it.
He earned that peace patch😂
I thought my step dad was doing this shit with the stories he told and shit he said, then I seen his DD214 and realized he just exaggerated some things and maybe didn't remember others.
I saw a stolen Valor once
LMAO, "I joined in 2017 and two years later... [I travelled into the future!]"
As a civil war veteran I am grossly offended by these people
Why would anyone fake being a soldier? You would think they would want to fake being something more prominent like a fast food cook.
Doug Johnson Please explain your comment. Thanks.
not cool bro
Papa Nichols My father was a marine and my brother was a ranger. It's called a joke, heard of them?
I'm dealing with mindless idiots.
shoots fired lmao
These high speed heroes need to slow their role. Know the law before you cross up with the wrong one. I’d laugh my ass of if I saw a brother or a female get some hands thrown there way for stepping out of their lane.
Call em out. Carry on. Unless they are profiting under the false premise as a veteran it’s not illegal to wear uniforms.
"I have direct upload" lol
😂 Those tags we had as kids... I remember them vividly. No joke!
All four of us had one. And yeah, I live in the Netherlands.
Stolen Valor too?
people recording are sometimes way worse. People don't have to do prove shit to some jerk who learned how to use his camera phone.
Expose them all for the fakes they are!!
In the south during deer season every goober and gooberette is wearing camouflage.
The Last Woman haha i Cant Stop laughing
