This guy is going to jail for impersonating a Marine:



quote:

Schrenk is alleged to have impersonated a staff sergeant in the United States Marines at several events in the towns of Seneca and West Falls, New York, this summer.
Several Marine recruiters noticed Schrenk when he appeared at the Erie County Fair. The recruiters took Schrenk’s photo and passed it onto a state trooper who they knew had served.
According to “Stars and Stripes,” the recruiters could see that Schrenk was a phony as soon as they engaged him in conversation.
“A white cord draped over his shoulder had no place there. The way a full chest of medals and ribbons was displayed was improper,” “Stars and Stripes” reported.
“The sword he carried was not the type issued to a non-commissioned officer. He also claimed to be of the rank of staff sergeant, said police, who added that this did not add up, given the length of time he claimed to be a Marine,” it added.
Schrenk was also found to have impersonated a police officer in 2013.

Shouldn't go to jail over that. Society should look extremely poorly on him though.

Where is the link to the story?

What did he gain from doing it? I thought it was ruled that it is perfectly legal to do stolen valor as long as you didn't use it to acquire something of value.

I tend to not care about stolen valor because most of the time it's someone that isn't completely there in the head. The non crazy people that do it deserve all the shame and mocking we can give them.

I think it is retarded and one of the douchiest things a person can do, but I don't get angry or go on personal crusades to ruin the persons name or anything

I can't link it. You have to be a vetted military or veteran to access it.

While I do see it as tacky and understand why vets would be angry with it, what is he actually hurting? What harm is being done?

Do we really need a law for it?

Should I go ahead and arrest the "Navy seal" in the bar who is obviously not?

I think calling them out to make them look like complete asses is sufficient punishment.
