If I was in charge of making a ruling on this law, to make
it illegal to falsely present oneself rank or act of duty, I would make it illegal.
It is a slippery slope with the first amendment there is no denying that. But at
the end of the day it should be more about respect than anything. There are men
and women who give their lives to earn these medals, and it is utterly
disrespectful to tarnish the valor they have been given. Especially just to
move up in the political world/ company. The fact is pretending to be a war
hero and accomplishing things you have not is harmful. It harms the actual
veterans who support and fight for our country. “It belittles us, it makes me
feel worthless. Like what I did was not really anything special” (SRG Hayden 3rd
marine aircraft unit 323)
