Does stolen valor anger you as much as it does me?

I tried to kill a squirrel with a pointed stick once, and couldn't. True story.

Why do they pretend to be in a military?
Is it a military discount? or Chicks they can pick up?

And not just pretending to be mil, but then they have to wear a Ranger tab, SEAL Trident, and a Flying Cross. I don't get it either... Other than maybe these people have no dignity/self-respect and thus nothing to lose?

I once killed a whole bottle of wine with nothing but a corkscrew! True story...

They're unhappy with where they are (or have been) in life. Playing make believe is easier than making real changes.

In most cases, that is the most likely answer.

Yep. It's a quick way to make themselves feel wanted/important and they know they can fool 99%+ of everyone they come in contact with.

Around July this year, there was a guy dressed all white uniform walking towards Starbucks in Parker (near I225ish). He was holding (not carrying) his jansport backpack. The guy looked around late 30 or early 40s, and was wearing Navy Captain insignia. I seriously haven't yet seen Col or Navy Capt at that age, and I was watching him very carefully. One old man who was wearing Navy retired hat came upto him and start talking. LOL
I was like 'uh oh.... youtube time'

Making a long story short, I guess the guy was real. 3 of the tan uniform Navy guys who look older than the Navy Capt came in and said "capt" to him.
Glad that retired Navy guy didn't try to confront him. It would've been awkward.

Maybe nobody would want to hassle stealing valor with whites?

I don't know. White or not. Guys I know from Navy and [mainly from] Airforce are getting recruited from LMT, NOC, RTN, and other high paying consultant position.
