Ok, I'll be honest. Stolen Valor never really bothered me when I was in the National Guard. I heard about a few instances at this local mall where some dudes threw on ACUs and pretended to be pvts for a free milkshake or some sh*!. Whatever that didn't really bother me.
Now to what happened to me:
Of course I didn't have my phone to video tape this as*clown for all the world to see (I was on a run). For this is greatly regret.
So I'm running around the golf course off base here in AZ. Just finished about a year's worth of training. It was supposed to be 9 months but I didn't do so hot in one cycle lol.
Anyway; I'm on my 3rd mile when I see a small party going on. I slow down because I notice a group of NCOs in the face of what looks like (from a distance) a decorated Airborne Ranger. I'm thinking to myself, "wow he must have really done something wrong for someone in the regiment to be getting chewed out by some NCOs from the nerd farm".
Get this, I walk closer and see this dude is wearing two OIF and two OEF BEOs (pins) and has the Ranger scroll AND some weird unit patch that didn't exist TOGETHER. He was all kinds of fuc**d up!! I couldn't believe it. How many people do you think this jerrkoff tricked into thinking he was an actual soldier? Let alone a member of the special operations community! You would think this idiot would have studied some pictures of actual Rangers and would have unfuc**d himself before going out in public! I'm just glad these NCOs happened to have been at this engagement party to call him out!
Anyone else run into something crazy like this? Very curious to know if this is a 'common' thing.
