So a guy was wearing camo with patches on it in public? I do not see a problem witht. From the description it does not sound like he was impersonating anyone in the military. Nothing wrong with having patches on your clothes. Hell I sewed all my squadron and command patches on my field jacket, which is camo, and I wear it occassionally in the winter.

My father (the idiot) took my 2ID jacket when he went to the sale barn to pick up a horse. A soldier came up and said "Second to None" and my father just stared blankly. Did not know the response and I am very fortunate that jacket wasn't ripped off him, but I'd not blame the man if he did.

Don't wear patches you don't earn

Sometimes I like to wear my old BDU field jacket with unit patches, Sr Air Crewmember, and Air Assault patches. Obviously I don't have an ID since I'm a vet. Any issues there?

I really don't have a problem with him ripping the patches off except that it is perhaps a tad unprofessional.

I have a hat with my component command patch on it, but it's subdued so its hard to tell what it says. I don't dare wear the unified command patch because I don't feel I earned it.

I'm sure you could have a conversation that would eliminate any doubt within a minute. Most of these idiots go around telling people they were on Seal Team 6.

Someone who doesn't have an ID but is real can answer simple questions like "Who was your basic training unit and when?"

Such as "Company 929, Great Lakes, Apr to Jun 93".

Fuck that stolen valor kid, good on that dude for calling him out.

You wouldn't believe the amount of contractors wearing shit they shouldn't in Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of the time, they just get looked at and a head shake or face palm.

I've been given several patches and unit-specific shirts directly from those groups/units for support I've given them over my career. I was asked about one I was wearing by a Pantego police officer when he busted Carless Chris and me racing. It actually worked out well for me when I told him about it.

There's wearing camo, and then there's wearing a full set of ACU's and posing as a soldier taking credit, discounts, and gratitude on stuff and for things you didn't earn. That's chickenshit.

No, because you're a vet and would be able to answer any simple questions and bullshit with other vets.

If you mean JROTC, then yes, but not the stuff that someone would get offended by and rip off. Those guys are easy to spot from a mile a way. A. because they're usually jacked up and B. because they have different patches or would simply tell you.

It really annoys me when I see vids like on the first page. E8 rank on some guy in his 20's, wtf?! If you want to wear the uniform, join the military, simple as that. Don't be some couch potato who sits around and talks about how he 'almost joined the military", do it or don't and move on.

maybe the guy is really good in call of duty and wanted the world to know it.

ROTC kids usually explain that they're ROTC when confronted. They dont' claim to be military. Unlike those fucking airsoft bastards.
