There's a limit though, and I'm not really sure how to articulate it. On the rare occasion I do wear them, I certainly don't wear other components of the uniform... shirt, boots, etc... It's just disrespectful, regardless of legality.

Another thing... I don't consider the guy that came in to my taproom to be a case of stolen valor, as it didn't seem like he was trying to get benefits or handouts out of wearing it. When I asked him if he was military he seemed a little surprised, like he wasn't even thinking about it. It's just disrespectful.
F-you ! I'll wear any part of my old uniforms or more recently surplused and new civilian made copies anyway and anywhere I want !
I even transferred my unit patches to the newer items as the old ones ragged out and were replaced.
Just who the hell are you to be telling me that I cannot wear them ?
