Poser Busting

I think the article @Marauder06 posted says it all. There are plenty of "Stolen Valor" vids on You Tube. Some are ok, and some are shameful. How do you repay the damage to the Marine in the article? You can't really. Sure the assailants can get fines and jail time, but one vet pounding another vet is just so wrong.
 
FYI, I was accused approx 2 years ago, of being a poser myself, by a retired Officer. To the point that a retired SGM was calling active duty Officers to ask about me and the accusations. This wanker had seen a photo of me wearing a particular camo uniform that belonged to an organization that I was not officially affiliated with.
His unfounded accusations almost cost me a job that was worth a LOT of money. Thankfully the people contacted proved that the accusations were completely unfounded, But 2 years later, if I run into this Intel fuck in a dark ally tonight, he's going to have a very dark Halloween indeed! :mad:

Bottom line, get your facts 100% straight, and then be prudent with what you do with it.
 
This is going way too far. Even if the dude is walking around faking the funk, why is it that big of a deal? If they're profiting off it, or people are in danger from the lies (i.e. not actually being the security expert they claim to be), that's one thing. But some dude trying to pull pussy at a bar or whatever? Who gives a shit. The veteran community is our own worst enemy sometimes. This new fad of aggressively calling out every single person who says/does/wears anything military-related is ridiculous and makes us look like assholes.

Ummmm.... that wasn't me, was it?
 
Only once have I had anyone try to break out some poser accusations against me, of course online, no balls for in person. It was rectified quickly as they were a leg private and I had to explain things that were outside of their regular purview and understanding.

Then again, I was assigned to give a relatively lengthy 670-1 class on awards, ordering and uniform placement in PLDC/WLC since I actually had more salad than all of the cadre sans Commandant and therefore could use my A's as a fricking classroom aid... and I only had a pinstriping level of fruit salad compared to some of the guys I served with, who could be equated to being bukakke'd by the Lowes paint section.

Advantage of being a hoss (as many here will relate to, other than The Troll): Not having to deal with award or ribbon offset bullshittery due to lapels...

Reminds me of an old SgtMaj that I used to work in the same building as mine

If he stays in any longer, his awards are gonna start spreading to his back!
 
I'm about sick and tired of reading this bullshit - would be VERY interested in knowing the background and TIS of these Marines.

We have plenty of active Marines on the board, and since this happened in N.Carolina I am going to hold out hope that some day in future, I might get a to read a cryptic note from someone here who makes it known that these fuck-tards are known, and have received that appropriate message about their actions.

Jesus christ. This is getting out of control. Crooked ribbons?? Are you fucking kidding me?? Shit, one time I accidentally had a ribbon on upside down, I guess I was a poser that day. I hope these Marines are taught a very strong lesson by either their leadership, other Marines, or other veterans.
