    This is a common problem amongst society, people faking being a marine, seal, etc just to get sympathy and to boost their own egos. Makes ya think about all those who have fought for us and have real combat experience and come home with PTSD. I get sick of hearing people coming up to me like they do this guy and try to tell a sob story about their fake experiences that never happened. You can always tell who's a faker if you've been a soldier yourself, and many would know their platoon or comrades by name or memory.

    These people should be ashamed of making a mockery of the real soldiers who lost everything to get us what we have now. This is #3 of my peeves about society and what happens within it, what do you guys think should be done? There is a law against impersonating a soldier, not sure if this counts as that though.

    Wow.

    This makes the guy who wrote the Navy Seals copypasta look legit. At least on the Internet, you can't prove anything short of hacking.

    People who fake roles like that are stupid. The Army Veterans Sacrifice themselves for others and when you pretend to be one it makes the rest of them appear as a joke to others.

    Is this a thing that happens often? I've yet to hear about something like this where I live.
