Stolen Valor has reached epidemic proportions in this country. I'm an on-and-off again member of a site that outs Phony Navy SEALs. His confrontation videos are amazing.

Which part?

Which part?

Everything. Sorry but I really don't know what you're talking about. :/

Pretending to be a military veteran is called "Stolen Valor" and is currently rampant in this country. They even passed a law against it.

I know a little about it as I am an occasional member of a subscription website owned by a real former Navy SEAL, who now spends most of his time confronting fake SEALs. He does about 50 a day now.

Oh. Wasn't that already a law though? (Fraud)

Not sure if it's also covered by fraud, but the Stolen Valor Act of 2013 specifically addresses the situation.

Yeah I know I already saw that but this would probably only really be an issue if somebody was lying to make profits out of it.

While i hate that scotus ruled it's free speech

Correct. I believed the revised version of the law reads that it's a crime if you use medals and citations you don't actually have to procure money.

That applies mostly to political campaigns
