That is what the USAF basically does. They are not a real serious branch of the US Military, they merely larp as one. It is for short guys who are scared of combat, hence why they always chicken hawk so much like any wimp.
Cringe from both sides. The guys doing it cause they are sad pathetic basement dwellers who want attention are pretty bad.
The worst ones in my opinion are the "stolen valour police". Vets that go around trying to out people on it because they have shit toxic personalities. I've experienced it a few times as I have US Military Combat awards as a Canadian. Nothing more lame and gay then just trying to be out on remembrance day and some fat ass warrant officer from a service support unit who never deployed is running around on a power trip.

Larping as a vet isn't illegal; you can play dress up all you want. It's when you larp as a soldier then try to take advantage of benefits for said soldier. So at that point, the "stolen valor" isn't illegal, it's the faud.
>>509137422 (OP) >falsely claiming something to receive benefits of claim
Itβs called fraud. From discounted products and services, to psychological gratification from others, all the way up to receiving taxpayer money. Itβs all wrong.

Stolen Valor is only illegal when you try to get a discount, something free, etc. when you don't deserve it.
Why is it illegal?
Fraud, son.
Fraud is illegal.
